Highlighted reviews from other travelers
this excursion was 100% worth every penny. from the reef to the staff, 10/10 stars!
This day was the absolute best in Cairns! The tour was really well run, and the whole crew—from the reception to the end of the day—were super friendly. Just perfect! I did the scuba diving, and for someone without much experience, having a well-prepared team is the best choice. The dive instructors, Nacho and Roberto, were top-notch and made sure I had an amazing experience on the Great Barrier Reef. We saw so much marine life—live corals, clownfish like Nemo, and heaps more. We also had some time for lunch on the boat, cooked by the chef, and it was absolutely delicious. Massive thanks to the whole Passions of Paradise team for such an incredible day!
