Great trip for a family group

5.00We booked this tour because we were a family group of various ages and ability, including a young toddler. The fact that we had options to either see the ocean life by glass bottom boat or snorkeling suited each of us. The crew were fantastic. They looked after us all and explained everything clearly. They had good knowledge of the coral reef and it's inhabitants. We saw several turtles and reef sharks from the glass bottomed boat. Those that chose to snorkel were less fortunate but still saw enough variety of fish to make it a worthwhile adventure. The low tide that afternoon made conditions slightly murkier than the usually crystal clear waters. You just have to accept nature as it presents itself to you. We all came away having had a lovely afternoon in and on the sea at the Low Isles.
Mike, Miles and Euan were great!

5.00Mike, Miles and Euan took us out to the low isles on the AM trip. It was amazing! We got to see sharks, turtles and a load of other fish. The guys were amazing, very knowledgeable and clearly love what they do. There was only 2 groups on the boat so Euan took us out on a private snorkel while the others went on the glass bottom boat and he was fantastic. Miles then pointed out a bait ball to find some sharks and we saw them straight away. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely recommend!

1.00This trip should have been canceled. We visited their office the day before due to the weather forecast and were advised it was still going to be fine to head out. When they hand out seasickness tablets to everyone it's not a good sign. Heavy rain the whole time, very poor visibility during the snorkelling, very disappointing for our two kids who were very excited about the trip. We complained direct to the administration and were offered a 15% discount on another $800 odd trip out another day. Cannot recommend this company.
Amazing.

5.00My daughter and I had an amazing morning at the Low Isles. Roman, Ewan and Matthias were very competent and friendly. I've snorkelled all over world and the sea life was very special on this trip. So many turtles, reef sharks and fish. We even had the added entertainment of a sea rescue mannequin floating by as we headed back to Port Douglas !! If you have a short period of time and want to experience some of the reef then this is the trip for you.
Very good trip

5.00We went out on the Calypso Low Islands snorkelling tour, not knowing what we were likely to see. As it turned out the water was very clear and the first marine animal we saw was a black tipped reef shark. The group of us entered the water from the shore together with our guide and we soon saw several different species of fish, another shark and three or four turtles. Everyone enjoyed it and then we had time for a guided walk around the small island. Travelling back to Port Douglas we had tea / coffee, muffins, biscuits and fruit. All in all it was a very enjoyable afternoon in company of Roman, Melody and the snorkelling guide (sorry, his name escapes me).
