Not what I expected

2.00Perhaps I was unlucky, but my experience on this tour was not what I’d expected. It started with the bus operator giving me the wrong information about where the tour commenced, then failing to collect me. Fortunately, a very helpful woman at the Tourism Office called the bus operator and - after three separate conversations - managed to get somebody to pick me up. The experience on the pontoon was reasonable. The staff were very friendly and the scenery was great. The pontoon itself is old and tired, but the lounges and deck chairs were comfortable and there was a good selection of shady and sunny spaces. The underwater walkway is pretty small and there were only a couple of fish to see. I did go swimming in the water, but there were no turtles - just a few more fish. The food servings were more than ample and quite tasty, but some of the dessert samples were dry and my pot of tea was cold. I was told by the bus operator that at the end of the tour I’d be collected on the shore at 4 pm. When I got to the pontoon, the staff advised that I’d be returning at 2 pm. Again, fortunately, one of the staff contacted the operator to change my pick-up time. I can’t say I felt that this tour represented value for money, and I wouldn’t recommend it.
Best day ever

5.00What an amazing day! Short bus ride from cruise terminal, then short tinny ride to Pontoon. We've never had such an amazing seafood lunch...& we're from Qld! Such friendly & welcoming staff, could not have had a better day. Snorkelling was the absolute best, loads of fish & we even saw a turtle.
