This was a fantastic experience. We got lucky with good weather. The guides were incredible and I would absolutely recommend.
Great staff great day out. Highly recommend
I did the half day tour with my 13 and 10 year old kids and could not speak highly enough of our guides, Gabriela, George and Renee. They were so engaging, knowledgeable and kind, especially when we were unprepared with warm clothes after the snorkelling..they offered us their jumpers! Was an amazing experience and we can’t thank them enough. Would 100% recommend Reef adventures to anyone!
LOVED this snorkeling experience. We went on Mad Max with the most awesome crew - Brandan was the skipper. I think it was also Hayley and Lucy?? The ride out to the reef and back was pretty choppy but it felt safe with Brandan navigating the waves and it was also an awesome experience to watch humpback whales breaching in the sea both there and back!! The whole experience felt safe with 3 guides in the water with us, Brandan watching from the deck, options to wear life jackets (it was a bit choppy) and the guide (I think Lucy was the lead) had incredible knowledge of everything we were seeing. How she talked and bobbed in the water was a skill in itself! I think the thing that came across the most for us was the passion shown by all the crew in what they love about the reef, protecting it, and just their enthusiasm and positive attitudes. Would definitely recommend this trip with Reef Adventures.
Great trip. The guides were friendly and professional who had a passion for what they do! The go pro photos were a bonus. Thank you.
Super organised and clear instructions made this snorkelling trip a sensational success on the majestic Great Barrier Reef. The guide shared interesting info which improved the experience and pointed out cool fish and coral. Great photos were taken and shared easily with everyone. Highly recommended!
We met at the marina to board the Maverick. On our boat we had Jo, Eleanor and Lincoln. We (me, my husband and our adult children ages 17 and 18) enjoyed our time on the snorkel. The crew interacted with everyone and were very friendly. Once we got to our destination, Eleanor was a fantastic guide in the water pointing out different fish and coral. We had about 17 people on our boat which was a great size to be in the water with. We left the dock at 8:00 am and returned about noon. It was a great experience and the reef was beautiful!
The time in the water flew by, but it was exactly the time we wanted, and perfect considering the temperature.
It was so good that my kid kept asking if we could go again the next day. My only concern is that coral reef seems to be visibly fading away - I understand that the tour company cannot change that. Guides were kind, funny, well organized and caring. Totally worth it
Reef Adventures was an excellent snorkelling tour for a trip with adults and teenagers to see the reef from Cairns.
