Amazing day out. Great boat, fantastic crew, great food. Even though the weather made for rough seas and I normally get sea sick- the captain steered in such a way that I didn’t get sick at all. Very informative with the snorkeling. Definitely do the snorkeling tour

The reef day tripper crew were absolutely fantastic. The small number of passengers meant they were able to guide us in the water and give us a tour of the coral reef and animals. They were all extremely friendly and went out of their way to help less confident swimmers. Best thing we’ve done in Australia!

Such friendly, well qualified staff provided a safe and very enjoyable experience with a small number of guests onboard. The snorkeling and diving was amazing, the perfect place to take an introductory dive. Great value for money, if you want to choose between a massive boat or this I’d choose this, highly recommended!

This was by far the best trip. Staff had plenty of time to help anyone else but needed it. It really did feel personal. There was heaps of food. Thanks everyone.

This trip was definitely enjoyable and I had a nice time throughout the day however, the crew created a very uncomfortable environment and was very cliquey and not personable. They claimed to do tours once we got to the reef however, once out on the water our guide at the time did not speak to us and swam in a circle which caused the tour group to bump into each other and created a competitive and tiring atmosphere that potentially ruined the one experience you will ever get on the Great Barrier Reef.

Fantastic day trip experience to the great barrier reef operated by an extremely informative and fun loving crew. The day was a full day experience lasting from approximately 9 hours. The excursion included full transport, safety briefings, equipment, guides and food and drinks throughout to go and see one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. The crew were helpful, diligent, safety minded and extremely personable throughout sharing insights and their knowledge during the excursion and while snorkelling while also giving us privacy and opportunities to spend time with friends/sunbathe during the journey to the reefs. In total we spent around 2-2.5 hours snorkelling seeing coral reefs, fish, sharks, clams etc with all gear provided by the ship. The food was delicious and spread plentifully throughout the day and the crew ensured to get lots of photos throughout. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you want a smaller boat and a more interactive experience!

How can you come to Cairns and not see the Great Barrier Reef? There are so many different companies offering this experience but when scrolling through reviews, this is the only one that took you out there with a small group. My partner and I didn’t want to be in a group of 50. There were only about 10 people on our trip (max 20). My partner is not an experienced snorkeled and I am an inexperienced scuba diver who had not dived in 5+ years and we felt very supported by this awesome crew. Highly recommend to anyone looking to see the reef!

First off the Crew was very nice and helpful. We arrived early as requested--the boat needs a lot of work--not at all what we were expecting from the internet ads. The weather conditions were clear skies, ocean 3-5 ft seas and wind 10 to 15 with gust up to 25mph. The visibility was about 6 meters. Not the greatest conditions for snorkeling. Filled out the waiver sheets prior to leaving the dock as we were the first on board. Listened to safety briefing and snorkel briefing. We get to the reef getting ready to get in the water and the 3 of us in my group are handed life preservers. Because we are over 65, no explanation prior to this time that we would be required to wear life jackets in order to enter the water. I reluctantly put the jacket on as requested and ask how am I going to use my GoPro camera which I purchased just for this trip at a cost of $500. I was then told that you probably will not be able to get down to see much. ( I have snorkeled around 400-500 times; I owned a sail boat in Belize and lived in Hawaii for 3.5 years started scuba diving in 1974, so I am not new to the sport) . When I returned to the boat I was more than ANGRY. Met at the ladder by a crew member asking how great my experience was. I told him it was the worst snorkeling trip of my life, I felt like a cork just bobbing in the waves. Not able to use my camera or swim down to reef to see anything. I asked on the second dive if I could go without a the life jacket and was told again it was required because of my age. I refused to go out on the second trip. Why was I not told prior to leaving the pier or when I booked the trip that wearing a life jacket was a requirement because of my age. I feel I was discriminated against because of my age. I am an active senior I play Pickleball between 10 and 20 hours a week average 12000 - 20000 steps a day. I am slightly over weight but not out of shape. I would actually like a refund of a least 1/2 of my cost for this trip for not being informed about this life jacket policy of age discrimination. Suggesting it as an option for anyone who might want it would be a better idea.

We unfortunately sailed on a very rough day with poor visibility. The crew did a great job making sure everyone was as comfortable as possible and took seasickness medicine in advance. The visibility was terrible in the morning due to the weather, but the lower tides in the afternoon revealed a beautiful and expansive reef with plenty to see. We saw sharks, stingrays, and of course a variety of fish and coral! The crew was super knowledgeable and informative. It was my third day on a reef tour and I feel that this crew did the best job pointing things out in the water. I was able to see some clown fish in an anemone that I would have missed if the snorkel guide hadn't pointed them out. I highly recommend this tour -- you'll have an amazing time even if the conditions aren't optimal.
