If diving is an important option for you, please advise if you have any medical issues (past or present) or taking any medications so we can advise if any QLD diving medical clearance is required.

    The crew members were super nice and always tried to help. We were told they are a family run business. I honestly can’t imagine the same level of service from a corporate run company.

    A great trip out to the reef! We had a lot of wind, which stirred up the sand and had limited visibility. The crew and the boat were awesome! The food was great, as were the drinks after snorkeling.

    This was a trip out to the great barrier reef for Snorkeling. The trip is for experience, snorkeler or beginning snorkeler. The entire crew has one objective to share the great barrier reef and for everyone to be safe and have a good time.

    It's first rate, mainly because of the excellent staff. There are plenty of staff, which is reassuring as there are plenty of guides on hand to help & monitor things in the water. The staff also went above and beyond to ensure all guests had a great experience, taking time to help with snorkeling equipment so that even beginners were able to fully participate. The onboard food was also fantastic! Worth noting that sea sickness is a risk but that's just the nature of the tour - tablets were available on board to mitigate this.
