Really amazing trip! The boat from Port Douglas to Agincourt Reef was a little bit choppy but the staff on board were excellent in helping anyone who was feeling unwell. The reef itself was incredible and all the necessary equipment was provided to make everyones snorkelling experience as good as each others! The lunch on board was also very nice and good quality food!

The crew were fantastic, they phoned ahead of time to warn us we would be back later due to low tide and were so caring to anyone who became seasick because it was quite a rough sea day. Swimming with the turtles was amazing and the guided tour by the marine biologist was great, she was so keen to show us everything and find turtles.

It was amazing, staff so helpful, trip across was very rough but the kids stayed out on the front of the deck didn’t worry them. So proud of the young members of our group snorkelling, saw lots of fish, turtles etc. Harley marine biologist gave us so much information about the island and the Great Barrier Reef. Was an exceptional experience, our group of 9 ranging in age from 76 down to 7yrs. Great lunch and snacks. Many thanks for such a wonderful day.
