5.00This was an absolutely amazing excursion. The staff were GREAT from the moment we boarded until we disembarked. A true bucket list item. Do the helicopter tour as well, you will NOT regret it!

5.00Lunch is great and all you can eat, all supplies are provided for you, I would avoid the educational private tour guide fee they offer you on the boat. Not worth the money. The overall trip is worth it!!
Great day

4.00Water was very rough and should be advised to pack seasickness meditation as appropriate. Snorkeling water was very rough and guidance should have been given for that to maximize the experience.
Trip was nice, weather...

5.00Trip was nice, weather even better. If you have a chance, this is definitely a thing to see! As a bonus, they have prescription scuba diving masks on the boat.

5.00Myself and two friends did this tour while in Cairns and could not rate it higher. They both did the intro to scuba diving while I did the certified dive and all of our experiences were incredible. We all ended up adding on an extra dive after our first one! It was so organised and all the crew made us feel so comfortable and safe while keeping it fun. We loved it!!
One of the seven natural wonders of the world!

4.00This tour was really well organised, the crew were super friendly and were there for you to help of answer any questions , the food was brilliant and the day went so smoothly. The only additional feedback I could give relates to the reef itself. More emphasis should be placed on the importance of looking after the reef, how fragile the coral is and what swimmers need to do when swimming over the reef
Great way to experience the reef

5.00We did this day trip to the outer reef on our recent trip to Cairns and it was awesome! All the crew are super friendly and they create a really nice atmosphere on board. We spent the most time chatting to Jack and Rueben who were both lovely but everyone was very welcoming. The check-in process was super easy at the marina and the evolution boat is beautiful and massive - it easily accommodated the 100+ guests and crew and never felt crowded. We went to the Norman and Hastings reef spots and they were both really beautiful, heaps of tropical fish, starfish, giant clams and different coral structures to explore. We also saw a wobbegong shark, black tip reef shark and Wally the resident Māori wrasse which were highlights of the trip. You basically get free rein to explore the reef spots at your own pace or the crew can ferry you around if you prefer. The boat also has a ladder which makes it super easy to get in and out of the water. After the first swim, you have lunch on the boat and it is soo good - steak, fish, prawns, bread, multiple salad and there is heaps so you definitely won’t go hungry. Would definitely recommend the top deck while the boat is cruising, such a nice way to soak up the sun and Sea views. (Added some pics but they definitely don’t do justice to the day)
Wow
