Great excursion

5.00This was a really nice way to have a snorkel at the reef plus some time on Fitzroy island. The team was very professional, counting passengers multiple times for safety and ensuring everyone had a good experience in the water. The pontoon was quite large and very stable even for someone who's prone to seasickness like me. They kept to the schedule 100%. Fitzroy island was not as interesting as I had hoped-- not a tour issue-- "just" a tropical island to rest on the beach or take a short hike.
Could have been much better

3.00We booked the helicopter option which was quite expensive. Our allocated flight time was right in the middle of our time at the reef, so no snorkeling before, and not informed of the times the other activities left, so hanging around for our then delayed time slot, this meant very limited snorkeling after the helicopter. So unless you get the first ride, avoid the helicopter, and crew, please ensure you let people know the times before getting on the pontoon. Lunch was fine at Fitzroy, but snorkeling gear is expensive to hire for the hour you have, maybe supply it for those who spent hundreds on the helicopter given the limited time on the reef?

5.00This time I brought my family to the Great Barrier Reef diving, the staff on the sun lover ship Ray led the diving talk very detailed and rich, the attitude is also kind and friendly, this experience is very satisfying.
Very poor organization and management

1.00There wasn’t afternoon tea and morning tea. Also they haven’t provide us time schedule. There wasn’t no time for experienced sub-marine and glass bottom boat. I only got sea-walk which is I payd extra $149 each person.
This was a great...

4.00This was a great excursion! At first I was worried that we would not see any fish because we did not do the additional snorkel tour but we saw a ton of sea life! When we got to Fitzroy island, we were one of the first in line at lunch so there was a variety of delicious food to choose from. I hiked (because it’s not a walk) to nudey beach and it was well worth it. The only complaint (and it’s not to do with the tour) is that there isn’t anywhere to actually sit on the beaches, so just be prepared for that. If you have water shoes, bring them for the beach.
Good experience and crew

5.00I really enjoyed the trip. The reef was so beautiful, spending 2 hours there just doesn't feel enough. Kudos to Joelle for helping me and my partner enter the water for the seawalking experience. My wife couldn't have done that without you. The island is very beautiful too. Recommended 10/10
Amazing experience
