      Great day out, friendly, helpful & experienced crew. Well organized. We went to 3 x different sites. The fish were beautiful. Tip - take sea sick tablets before you go out - could be the difference between having the worst day & the best day out!!
    • Worth every minute!

      This was an amazing way to explore the Great Barrier Reef! There were enough staff on board to help everyone and ensure safety, the food was excellent, and the tour itself was outstanding. It does list as a long time but it is worth every minute from the boat ride, to swimming in the reef, and being in awe of the beauty that you were surrounded by the entire time. If i ever go back to Port Douglas I will book this tour no doubt and have already recommended it to many of my friends and family!
    • Relaxed and special trip

      Was.a.nice smaller group rather than the larger companies such as Quick silver. The staff were really inviting and friendly with a special stand out from Darcy and Tim, made the trip memorable. Definitely be back. Also really enjoyed the opportunity to snorkel and dive more than one site.
    • So much fun & such great staff!

      We had an amazing time! I've been to the Low Isles before, but the Outer Reef is so much better! My husband got seasick & the staff were so great at caring for him & checking in on him. They even stayed with him & offered to take him around on a tour when he wasn't feeling well. They had ginger tablets for seasickness as well. They had a marine biologist on board, which was so good to learn about everything we were seeing! The staff were so friendly & kind. We had such a great time.
