Great day

Amazing reef, well organized, and personable staff. Helicopter ride back to Cairns was well worth it. It was fantastic
1/2 day afternoon trip is the worst.

It was miserable. We were on the boat for over 6 hours and had 1 1/2 hours on the beach. We had to make 2 stops on the way out and 1 stop on the way back to pick up and drop off people. We had sausage on sliced bread for our lunch. It was pathetic. Please do not take this 1/2 day afternoon trip.
A great time

We traveled with our family, of which many are quite adventurous. We are not. Despite that, we had a great time on this tour. It is truly for anyone irrespective of your comfort level for getting in the ocean. Seeing the Great Barrier Reef was amazing!
Excellent day at the reef

We started off on the catamaran which was a great experience which took us to the outer reef to a floating pontoon which had lots of different experiences which was all included in the price . We started off with an optional helicopter ride which was absolutely amazing, then we took the included option of the glass bottom boat which our tour guide was very informative thankyou, we have an inclusive buffet lunch which was plentiful and fresh. We also took the inclusive option of the semi submersible which was excellent.
Ship facilities so so but reef amazing

There wasn’t enough comfortable sitting. We were uncomfortable as other passengers moved our belongings from our seats. There were some very lovely staff members from Chile who treated us very nicely. The reef we were taken to was amazing. Then on our way home the tea and coffee offered was lacking and one of the staff had to be prompted to open a packet of biscuits as there wasn’t enough to go around.
