Highly recommend!!

Amazing experience!! I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to see the Great Barrier Reef. First of all - amazing crew!! - Hailey, Katelyn and Matthew! The energy was incredible, great music and informative guiding. Making everyone feeling included and taken cared of. Hailey is marine biologist and offers hands on knowledge about the reef and the animals. I went on a solo trip, and would highly recommend it- great food, helpful and professional guides. Making it an experience of a lifetime! - Emma

Great Day Out on the Reef

We did a full day snorkel with Douelle Kathlyn and our boat captain Matt The day was fantastic - the crew couldn't have done more - the two reeks we dived out were full of coral and fish and turtles. Would recommend any family to book this day out.

10/10 would do again

We had a fantastic day out with Skipper Matt and guides Joelle and George. All were very knowledgeable about the reef, the snorkeling sites were superb. The boat ride was a blast, we loved the music selections too.

Welcoming Guides but Zero Snorkeling Instruction

Going to the GBR is an incredible experience and it's amazing to get to see such beauty. We had booked for a full day and, when we arrived, they said that the trip that day had in fact been canceled due to weather. I understand the waves were too rough, but they certainly could have given advance notice. 2 days later, we went out with Bradley and Hailey. They were very warm and welcoming, as well as being knowledgeable. There was zero instruction about snorkeling, and when we got into the water, a couple of people in our group struggled and had to spend the rest of the time on the boat. If they are going to take people with no snorkeling experience, they need to be willing to explain/instruct about snorkeling even just a little bit.

Snorkeling on the barrier reef

Great tour. Rain and strong winds forced a cancellation of our tour. We were offered a refund or rebook. We chose the rebook and two days later we did our tour. Crew was awesome. Haley kept everything organized and always checked to ensure we were enjoying the tour. Bradley added the entertainment to the trip. Both offered information during the snorkeling. Aaron was are determined captain of the vessel. You will drive about 1 1/2 hours to the first location. This spot is shallow and good for exploring. We saw two sharks, a nurse shark and a white tip reef shark. Amazing coral. You then have lunch as you travel to the second location, close by. If you’re traveling in winter, I’d recommend renting the wetsuit, the water was chilly.
