      Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour!
    • I saw a Sea Turtle

      Two things were very memorable. 1. I went snorkeling and the sea was rougher than I expected. 2. I saw lots of fish and more excitingly a sea turtle!!! Staff were very friendly and the food was lovely. Overall a great experience.
    • Nice day at the great barrier reef

      The crew of the boat are very well organised and the boat itself is really nice. We've visited two spots of the great barrier reef and it was fantastic, lots of fishes and turtles and corals. All equipment will be on board. It's probably a good idea to get the pills for sea sick as it is around 1.5 hours before the first stop and it could make you feel unwell. There is an open kitchen at the main area and while cooking the smell doesn't help with the sea sickness but the food was good. There will be a photographer in the ocean too and will be able to take photos of you with the fishes.
    • Brilliant!

      As the weather had not been favourable for my first trip out to the reef, I was keen to do the it again. The weather this day was fantastic and i had so much fun doing this snorkelling cruise. The ship’s crew were great and very helpful and I liked that they asked about medications and the snorkel I was given was a different colour to ensure they knew where I was and would be able to react quickly if I was in trouble. I really liked the fact that this cruise stopped really close to the reef and everything was so easy. We even saw whales on the way out. This cruise was the highlight of my whole trip to Australia!
