5.0An amazing adventure from the moment we got picked up. Wonderful staff, 2 incredible snorkelling spots, high safety standards. My daughter had a special ride towards the snorkelling spot as she was apprehensive at first but Les Vegas made her feel safe and comfortable, so she ended having a blast snorkelling with me and my sis.
The tour is okay overall,...

3.0The tour is okay overall, don't expect anything special. It's a lot of people because they put 3-4 boats with 40 people each and take you to the same spot on the beach and the same snorkeling spots. For the beach this is ok, but for snorkeling you are in a small bay with 120+ people which is not very optimal. Also the snorkeling spots are not very good in my opinion, the water was kind of dirty and you don't see many fish. Wouldn't do the tour again.
Wonderful Tour

5.0I took the tour on January 8, 2025. Our tour was truly unforgettable! Traveling with our kids, aged 7 and 12, we initially felt a bit apprehensive, but any worries quickly faded as the experience turned out to be absolutely wonderful. The first snorkeling spot required quite a bit of swimming, but the crew was incredibly attentive and ensured we felt safe and comfortable throughout. While we’ve snorkeled before in places like Mexico, Hawaii, and the Maldives, those experiences were just right off the beach and didn’t demand much swimming. This was our first time snorkeling in the open ocean, and we now have a newfound appreciation for the importance of good health and basic swimming skills when exploring the underwater world. The second snorkeling spot was absolutely amazing! It was much easier, as we could jump right off the boat into crystal-clear waters teeming with a lot of vibrant fish—an unforgettable experience. Whitehaven Beach was spectacular. It was a bit hard to climb up many stairs to the lookout, but the panoramic views from the top made it all worthwhile. Thank you!
Everyone needs to book...

5.0Everyone needs to book this tour asap!! This was the highlight of our trip and we wished we booked it for every day we were in Airlie Beach. The snorkel was INCREDIBLE! So so many different types and colors of fish and we even saw a reef shark. The boat ride to the reef was smooth and when we docked for lunch on the boat, the boat didn’t even rock. The second part of the trip going to the Whitehaven Beach was fabulous! From all the views to swimming in the water surrounded by stingrays, this was amazing! Highly recommend!! The capital and crew for this tour were super sweet and very knowledgeable as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
