If I never dive again I will always cherish the experience of diving the outer Great Barrier Reef on The Spirit of Freedom and know it won't ever get much better than this. It is worth the expense and extra travel miles to dive the best of the reef. The staff are very professional and friendly, the rooms are well... More

It has the most spectacular view and experience. Snorkeling was fun,my husband does not know how to swim ,still he entered the water. There were quite a few cuisines on the pontoon. The semi-submarine is really nice. Its advisable to snorkel in the main reef from the pontoon rather than Green Island. An activity you must do. My son really... More

WE recently discovered Tropical Travel & Accomodation in Townsville Queensland while on a cruise around Eastern Australia. Christina Kalleske was so very pleasant and helpful in attemtping to book a tour to the reef for our stopover in the Whitsunday Islands which unfortunately turned out to be impossible to arrange. We plan to return to Australia and will contact Christina... More

We did the three day from Cairns with Spirit of Freedom and had a great time. Eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, sleep. 11 dives in 3 days was more that we were used to, but so very worth it. The service was excellent, the room (ocean view) was clean and spacious. It was worth the extra expense to get... More

Take the Green Island guided tour for easy access to the Barrier Reef. the 30 minute submarine reef tour is well worth the cost as you go further out on the Reef. If possible, pick a day that is not very windy...tends to make the water visibility limited. More

We took a day trip from Cairns. I'm claustrophobic so I wouldn't dare to dive and to be honest at first I was wondering whether it was worth it. They crew gave us a uniform to wear that was covering all of our body since as they explained there are jelly fish there that are dangerous. When the boat stopped... More
