Great experience. Boat was very nice. Not too crowded. Reef was full of marine life. Stinger suits and snorkel equipment were top quality! Enjoyed the day.

Great trip to both reef spots. the crew was phenomenal. Loved the food and the boat. Even saw a whale shark, which from what I understand is quite rare.

We had a good time. The second snorkel stop was somewhat better. I was surprised they are not providing life vests for snorkelers (as an option for flotation devices). The flotation belt is enough, but some people might feel even more comfortable with a vest. The vessel is quite big, so expect to dive/snorkel with another 80 people. It spoils a little bit the experience. I would have preferred something more "intimate" (up to 30 people). The staff was very helpful and friendly. I opted for Passions of Paradise Cruise because they are still locally owned and they are supporting different environmental causes.

Amazing excursion!!! We had a blast! Stuff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! We did 2 dives. All the equipment was provided, well prepared and ready for a dive. They took pictures and videos under water. The food was tasty. Definitely recommend!

Couldn't have been a nicer experience. The crew is terrific. They make sure that you are fitted well with your snorkeling gear and guide you when snorkeling if desired. I was with an oceanographer guide who told us all about the fish we were seeing. She also held a lecture indoors on the way back to shore. The ship was clean and the food was plentiful and quite good. It was a highlight of my trip to Australia! I recommend this tour highly!

Excellent experience. Boat was spacious and gave you room to move around and sit inside or out. Crew was outstanding - so nice and very helpful. It was an easy check in process and once onboard, they had breakfast snacks waiting. They provided you with all the necessary equipment and replaced it as needed. Definitely ask if you’re not comfortable! They didn’t mind at all. They also warned us of rough seas and provided meds if you wanted to purchase. Dive sites were gorgeous. Saw so many fish, jellyfish, and the crew pointed out a reef shark! Recommend you bring an underwater camera to capture some great photos! Lunch was provided - delicious - and snacks/drinks were available to buy. 3 bathrooms on board too. Would go again if I’m back in the area.

Every thing on this trip was organized well. The extra care taken by the expert guides to show the coral reef to novice swimmers was noteworthy. Food provided was appropriate and good quality. All in all an amazing day.

Extremely well run excursion. Crew were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dive boat was clean and spacious. Food was very good, even had motion sickness pills even though ride was quite smooth. Very organized when at dive locations, breaking into multiple groups for PADI divers, learning divers and snorkelers. The locations were terrific. Safety was never a concern as crew watch and monitored everything. We had a great day and would recommend this trip.
