The sea cruise departs early and it provides a basic breakfast of toast and tea which you feel thankful later as the journey can get rough and you can get sea sick. We took sea sickness pills available onboard in advance so was lucky not to feel sick. Therefore I would strongly advice on this. The views were spectacular. They... More

I've never been treated with such unnecessary force in my entire life. My friends and I went on the Great Barrier Reef day tour. In all honesty the boat was clean and the food was nice. The majority of the crew were courteous - not excellent nor personable however courteous enough. The problem was with 1-2 crew members. We went... More

Our captain had told us there was a storm passing near the route we were taking and warned us it... More

If you can afford it, you must do it!! Visiting the Great Barrier Reef is the most amazing thing you can do! There is so much to do on the pontoon, the food was amazing

We were the first to spend the night on the pontoon. We slept on the top deck in "swags" (Australian bush sleeping bags) under the stars. The BBQ dinner was amazing and some of us went on the submarine tour of the Great Barrier Reef and also had the opportunity to go snorkeling or diving. The view was incredible with... More

We had a fantastic day with Fantasea Cruises. The pickup from our hotel was prompt, checkin easy, stopped at Hamilton Island for a couple of hours and then off to Whitehaven Beach. It was a very relaxing day and well organised.
