    For anyone looking to visit magnetic island, especially if youre not sure what to see or where to start, this tour is for you. It was the best for exploring all the natural wonders Maggie had to offer. Our wonderful guides tailored the tour to the conditions of the day ensuring we got over an hour snorkling the reefs followed by a boat tour of the island, morning tea and snorking and finally a third snorking session where we got up close with the large bat and other fish. We saw sharks, parrot fish and were even able to watch one of the local birds feed out of a guests hand. As a solo traveller I was worried I would be forgotten or left out but the whole tour was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would rarely leave such a raving review but this tour was everything and more than what I could ask for and I recomened it to everyone heading to magnetic island for the first time

  • Excellent Number 1 snorkeling tour on Magnetic Island.

    Together with my son (18) we joined this excellent tour. Snorkeling three times. First with low tide on a shallow good quality reef with so many beautiful fish. The second time in a bay where we also could paddle on a board, for small children there were als boards to lie on with look through glass. We also had our morning coffee here on the beach with a treat of cakes and biscuits and loads of pieces of tropical fruit. Delicious! The final surprise was on the 3rd snorkel where we swam between many big fish, really close by. Awesome experience. Apart from this all: you can tell that Adam and Isabelle love sharing the beauty of Magnetic Island through their enthousiasm. Sailing along the different bays and shore with surprisingly big boulders really added to this great experience. Final present: Adam had made some drone-impressions of our trip that he generously shared with us through AirDrop or otherwise. Thanks for a great half day out!

    Fantastic way to see the best of Magnetic island in a short time. Great snorkelling and sightseeing. Loved the morning tea and a cup of tea whilst sitting in the crystal clear , 29 degree water. A perfect day

    We headed out today with Juan and Jack hopeful that the winds, weather and high tides would be kind to us.. unfortunately it tested us but we always felt totally safe in our sturdy boat and under their capable hands. They tried to time the snorkel locations to best suit the situation and even though we didn’t get beautiful sunshine we still managed to have a wonderful time snorkelling with the bat fish and various other species. Then our final spot of Geoffrey Bay even with a pretty high tide and fairly low visibility provided sightings of absolutely beautiful coral gardens. The boys also put on a lovely morning tea over on the beach which was entertaining in itself watching the whole setup process to get it to the beach. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Aquascene to anyone wanting to explore more of what Maggie has to offer and a nice amount of info provided along the way.

    One of the best day tours that we’ve done. The crew (Jahn and Jack) were friendly and knowledgeable about the bays and marine wildlife. They were very helpful with getting everybody ready for snorkelling and enjoying the warm tropical waters. Overall, a great day. We would highly recommend this trip.
