    Snorkeling at 2 locations in the Great Barrier Reef as well as our helicopter flight over the Reif was fantastic! Friendly and helpful crew. Recommend to get to meeting point around 7:30 a.m. as you and 90 other passengers register for the 08:00 hr departure.

    I booked this tour because I want to have the helicopter ride and cruise. I am glad I made the right choice! The helicopter is the best part- you can only sense the magnitude of the reef when you are up in the air. The ship is super clean and not crowded- no wait in line for bath rooms and food. Lunch is good, the afternoon snack is good! My family all had motion sickness- the crews took care of everyone and at the end of the day what’s left in our mind is the beauty of the reef, good food and friendly crews!

  • Great Day at the Reef!

    The Reef tour was great. Well organized and with a super crew. Unfortunately the weather was not favorable and our helicopter ride had to be cancelled, but no fault of the tour. We received a refund for the helicopter portion. Otherwise, I highly recommend Down Under as an excellent Tour Operator
