5.00Absolutely fabulous! This is actually the third time I’ve been to the reef but the first time with this company and this was the best experience by far. To start, they have a small private check in experience instead of the massive crowds at the main terminal. The boat itself is extremely clean and comfortable. Now, the real stars are the staff- shout out to Nicole, Jarred, Monica, Justin and Seb! The real clincher is that the site we went to was stunning- so many fish and such beautiful coral!
This tour was the best

5.00Been to the reef for snorkling 4-5 times over the past 40 years. This tour was the best with a very nice area of the reef to explore. Staff very friendly and helpful and great fun. Very good fast boat. At 70 and retiring soon it may have been out last opportunity to explore the reef...this was a good choice.
Fantastic day!

5.00My teenage boys and I had a fantastic time snorkelling with Pure Snorkelling. The boat was new and clean, the equipment was high quality and also new and clean. The staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a perfect day to go out on the reef so we saw a lot of fish and coral. As the boat was small, it probably held 40 people, and we were the only ones on that reef, it made it even better as it wasn't crowded. We had plenty of time for snorkelling, I didn't feel like we were rushed. It was great to have a drink afterwards with some fruit and scones. The whole process from booking, reminders, to the day itself was excellent. I definitely recommend going with this company.
Fantastic snorkeling experience!!
