It was an exceptional day. We are not disappointed to have chosen this company to realize one of our dreams: snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. We took the extra for the 40 minute Safari. The guide made good comments, but nothing more. we highly recommend this cruise.

This trip is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. The staff were absolutely amazing informing us educating us on everything from the start to the end of the trip the food was great. the pontoon at the great barrier was amazing. I also decided to do a dive, which, for myself was very frightening, and with the help of a lovely young diver, I got the courage to face my fear, and was one of the best experience ever. I could not highly recommend this whole tour more. Amazing!

Had a great time. At first worried about the long day, but the day was heaped with fun, laughs, food & of course the snorkeling, submersible & learning about the reef while being over it. A wonderful tour & recommended. Shame about COVID and the rules re food service, but the tour team handled it well.
