We went out with Passions of Paradise to two locations. The first was incredibly rough making snorkeling very difficult. The location was better for the scuba divers b/c they needed the depth and weren't disturbed by the high waves. The 2nd location was excellent - Michalemas Quay. They took us via smaller boat to the small sand strip in the... More

I would like to be able to publicly thank Passions of Paradise for all the help they gave me when holding a special evening for the Royal Flying Doctors Service last Friday night. The night trip was brilliant along the Trinity Inlet and to see the breathtaking colours of the city light and reflections on the water was so enjoyable.... More

My wife and I had an incredible time on Passions. Staff was friendly, fun, honest, and very knowledgable. We stepped on board welcomed with smiles, tea, coffee, muffins, and an excellent playlist. (Are they playing my iPod?) The boat appeared newer and well kept compared to others in the marina. We sat on the bow the entire trip out there... More

Thank you to all the staff for your friendly proffessional approach.. You made us feel very welcome.. The boat and the food were also top notch and made for a perfect day on the Great Barrier Reef. Having worked in the tourism industry for over 15 years I'd just like to say "Keep up the great work!!!" More

After booking this tour because of its great reviews, it did not fail to disappoint!!! I do not understand one of the previous post about there being no life regarding coral and fish??? First we arrived at Michaelmas Cay which was the best out of both snorkeling spots. You have to swim away from the island just a little bit,... More

Booked online over Easter and the day exceeded my expectations by a long shot. Excellent attention to detail on so many levels with staff going the extra mile to make it a great day for all. There was something for everyone, from those who couldn't snorkel to certified divers, Importantly, the boat was not over crowded, food was great and... More

I went on this trip 15 years ago and loved it so decided to go again yesterday. $325 for two of us to snorkel at Michaelmas Cay, which is spectacularly beautiful but there is hardly anything to see... then to another spot close by with only dead coral to see; not even any fish. Lunch was fine... and this was... More

Our reef adventure with Passions was absolutely fantastic. The boat was clean, staff was friendly and helpful. My wife doesn't know swimming so the staff member took her on a tour of the reef while she held on to the float tube. I went scuba-diving with a crew member and it was absolutely amazing. Although they charge $70 for diving... More
