We had a great day out today, Sunlover were super organised and made it easy to get tickets and board. The seas were a bit choppy today, but have to say the way the crew handled this was amazing. Special mention to Chelsea who was so attentive and a very caring person. Despite all that she was doing to help many people all at the same time - she kept a smile on her face, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Sunlover and Chelsea..

A wonderful day out, with so much to see and do and enjoy for every member of the family. The boat ride out and back from the reef was very relaxing. The glass bottom boat ride was also very enjoyable. We had a lovely lunch sitting on the pontoon. We loved snorkelling and were lucky enough to see the sea turtles up close as well as all the other colourful fish and coral. We will going back to Cairns in the future and will redo this amazing day on our next trip. So much still to see and do and experience.
Great experience!

You can’t miss this - the reef is incredible and the whole crew made it safe and easy to experience in all the ways available! It was even a rainy day but you didn’t notice when you were in the water or the glass bottom boat
