My partner and I had a great time and the staff ensured that we had plenty of opportunities to swim with the dolphins. They also hosted a lovely lunch and talked to us about the dolphins.

The Tour is too expensive! Only an half day and the lunch was ok but not so much and easy (Sandwiches, Vegetables Crackers, Sauces). In the beginning it was stressful and to less space to take on the wetsuit and during the tour it was also stressful to go in / out from the boat. The Crew was very friendly and we could see a few Dolphins, that was nice. But it‘s not worth for this price. I had other tours in Cairns which were much better, more snacks, better lunch (inclusive warm dishes) and cheaper for a whole day.

Amazing experience- highly highly recommend! Did this with our two kids 7 and 10 who had never snorkeled before and the crew were just so kind and supportive. Both had such an amazing time! We saw and interacted with so many dolphins. The whole experience far exceeded our expectations and was worth every cent!
