Do get there early and sit on the lower deck where everything gets explained and you can sign on for the extra optionals. I did the intro to snorkelling and then the afternoon guided snorkelling tour of the outer reef accompanied by 4 others and a wonderful marine biologist, Eric who explained everything we saw. 90 min trip out to...

Reef Magic fast cat service to Marine World is very comfortable with a very informative and well-presented Marine Biologist Multi-media session. Crew are attentive to passengers every need. On arrival at Moore Reef Marine World - a large covered floating raft for operation of all adventures - we were greeted, while snorkling, by an inquisitive and playful Wally, the resident... More

After reading some of the above comments, we a family of four (kids 6 and 8) almost did not do this tour. But in the end we decided to do it anyway because it seemed one of the few options to all enjoy the reef. The tour turned out to be well organised.

We took this tour as an excursion from our cruise ship, so we did choose the tour company. The ride out in the catamaran took 80 minutes & was comfortable. The platform had nice accommodations & is moored right on the reef. The snorkeling around the platform was great with more sea life than we have seen in most locations... More

Our coach picked us up from our hotel at 8am and after picking up a few other people took us to the Cairns marina where we boarded the boat to head out to the Reef. On the boat there was a lot of hard sell by the staff to do scuba diving, snorkelling tours and helicopter rides. When we reached... More

We took a Christmas Day trip to the Great Barrier Reef with this company and what a day we had!

We were given refreshments... More
