5.00The crew made you feel like family, great experience! They were prepared for everything, and even sang and played the guitar for us.
10/10 except the massage

4.00This trip was fabulous, except the massage. The beach was stunning, the staff lovely, the lunch delicious and the snorkeling beautiful. 10/10 recommend. The only downside was the massage I had, because the massage therapist was texting the entire time. I'd feel her slowing down and using one hand and look up to see her texting, which went on the entire 45min. Don't do the massage, but definitely take the trip
Not as described

2.00Way overpacked, inside the boat it was stuffy and very smelly. on the island was not enough sun beds for everyone, at least half of us were stuck sitting on the ground. When it says free drinks it’s not on the actual boat you have to wait till you reach the island to get drinks if you want drinks on the boat you have to pay extra. However staff were beautiful, very friendly and helpful and tried their best, and island was absolutely amazing.
An amazing day!

5.00An amazing day. Staff on the day (Weds 31 March) were fantastic, so friendly and welcoming. The highlight was snorkeling over the reef with a marine biologist as our guide. Afterwards we also had a trip around the reef on a glass bottomed boat, again with another marine biologist. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea was included and we were happy with it all. Thank you all for an amazing day!
Good Day

4.00We had a nice day on the Island and Reef Day Sail. The snorkelling was okay but I have done in better locations on other tours. The crew are all wonderful and super friendly. I also really enjoy that they do not seem to pack as many people as possible on their tours and have a good amount of space on the boat and at the island.
Awesome Day trip!

1.00We had planned this trip to commemorate my friend's 50th birthday, an occasion that warranted a memorable celebration. However, our experience was significantly marred by Suliana R., our assigned sales executive, whose behavior was unprofessional. Her communication style and tone were consistently dismissive, rude, and disrespectful. This attitude made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than valued clients celebrating a milestone. There was a notable lack of warmth, accountability, and genuine interest in our satisfaction. Undoubtedly, this ranked as one of the poorest customer service experiences I've had, especially given the significance of the event we were celebrating. The behavior exhibited was inexcusable and fell short of expected standards. The condition of the boat was also far from satisfactory, with evident neglect in cleanliness and maintenance leading to unsanitary conditions. Such neglect was particularly surprising given the premium experience we were promised.
