  • I loved the lower key...

    I loved the lower key option. You can do Ocean Free or Ocean Freedom. Ocean Free is a large sail boat. Less people which we enjoyed. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Food is fantastic. You snorkel or scuba dive once you get to Green Island. Then you are shuttled to the Island to explore for an hour or so. Then back to boat if you booked a second dive.

    I thought the trip was great value for money, 40 minutes flying over the reef with a pilot who gave a good commentary with explanations of what we were seeing and what to look out for. Pick up point could have been a bit more precise with a better explanation, but when I sent a message it was replied to very quickly so I found the pick up on time.

    Very well run activity. We booked independently of cruise ship but had same prompt pick up from cruise terminal in Cairns. Well explained safety briefing, friendly pilot Spencer who gave informative commentary throughout flight. Wonderful fly pass of reef areas and small islands off the coast. We were blessed with a clear day. Definitely recommend
