Fantastic experience, Great service, friendly staff . We stopped at 3 different spots to snorkel and dive around the reef . Highly recommended

Crew were profession, friendly and just great. Boat was comfortable and in top condition. Itinerary was full, fun and well planned. Best cruise I have been on ever.

Just back from a reef snorkelling trip with Calypso. What an awesome day from start to finish! We were lucky in that there were only 22 passengers so it was like a private charter. The boat was a catamaran with lots of space. Clean and comfy. All equipment you need is provided; mask, snorkel, fins and stinger suit. Good quality kit and pretty new. All the crew were really friendly and helpful but we had most interaction with Claudia and Linnea. Claudia did the safety briefing, told us where were going and took all the fabulous pictures. She was great; witty and very helpful. Linnea took us on a reef tour and took care of food and beverages. She was very helpful and friendly too. Lunch was great with lots of items for vegetarians (as I am). We had 3 separate 1hr snorkelling stops on Opal reef. The visibility was great and the coral was so colourful, varied and beautiful. Saw lots of wildlife and saw a reef shark too! It was mesmerising. Claudia took lots of pictures of the passengers on the boat and in the water. The photos she took were stunning! Wonderful colours and great clarity. We bought all the pictures of us and the pictures she took of the reef. So happy! Very reasonable price for the photos. Another member of the crew gave a good talk about the reef and its wildlife. Very informative. Positives: equipment, boat, organisation, food and beverages, snorkelling stops, crew, photos Negatives: nothing we could think of. In summary, Calypso is a great outfit to explore the fabulous, sensational GBR. This was such a memorable day and I’m so glad to have chosen Calypso. Highly recommend. Great thanks to Claudia and Linnea.

I mean, you can’t go all the way to Australia without snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. This was the top highlight for all of us. I love that they showed us how to use the snorkeling gear they provided, had spray for the masks so we could see better underwater, fitted us carefully for the flippers and suits, and provided life vests and pool noodles to help us have a great experience. We boarded the Calypso for an hour ride out to the GBR. Our first stop was the Stonehenge Reef where we snorkeled for an hour, then had hot tea and snacks waiting for us when we finished. It felt like I was on the set of Finding Nemo, swimming around and seeing everything through Nemo's eyes. At one point, I was surrounded by an entire school of fish, the sun was on my face, and I was delighted beyond belief. It was absolutely magical. Next was a 30-minute ride over to Halloween Reef for another hour of snorkeling. Once we came back in we were definitely ready for lunch, which was all prepped for us. Sandwiches, potato salad, and fruit. One more 30-minute ride and we were at our last reef for the day, Advanced Bommie. We were able to snorkel all around it and see amazing schools of fish, parrotfish, and so many others! It was delightful! Pro tip: They have underwater cameras for rent. Just do it. I didn't realize they had them until it was too late. Staff does take a few action pictures, but none were taken of me individually like the others, so I was bummed about that. Be sure to find the photographer on the first stop and have her take your pix. But also, just get the underwater camera and you can take all the pix you want!

Had a superb trip out to the reef with Calypso. We were lucky to be in a very small group which enhanced the whole experience and weather was also kinder than forecast suggested. A very well organised trip with staff who clearly love the reef and want to share their knowledge They were all great but special thanks to Bruno who made the diving experience wonderful

Wonderful time - great views! Absolutely amazing and upfront view of animal life. Very safe feel on the ship, which was incredibly important to us.

Loved ever second staff great, facilities great, lunch yum. Dive sites just beautiful would go again in a hardbeat. Staff had great knowledge of reef.

We were lucky enough to have a look at the weather forecast and probably picked the calmest day with perfect visibility possible. What an experience!

A great GBR experience! The staff were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. And of course, the reef was awesome. Would recommend booking through Calypso!

Bruno was a terrific scuba diver guide pointing out lots of marine life. We recommend Calypso, the diving groups are limited to five divers.

We highly recommend this all-day Outer Reef and half day inner reef snorkeling trip with Calypso . Large, spacious, stable ships, not crowded, wonderfully friendly and informative crew, great safety emphasis over and over. Coral and whole experience was tremendous. “Go!”

This was my first SCUBA trip in Australia. Some people onboard booked snorkeling while others were going to do SCUBA. The seas were rough but I had taken thankfully taken Dramamine. Even with that, I thought I was on the verge of getting sick when we finally got to the dive site. We went to 3 different locations and I did 3 dives. It was amazing. I did fine and it makes me want to do diving more often. Aside from the coral itself, highlights included a thornback stingray, large humpback wrasses, Moorish idols, and a giant clam. I had great dive masters, an Australian man named Darcy and an Argentinian woman named Pam. They were absolutely amazing and helped me regain my confidence as it had been several years since my last dive. This trip was the highlight of my 2-week trip to Australia.

Without a doubt, the experience itself is truly beautiful and highly recommended (we dived two times), but for me and my friend, what made this day unforgettable was Irene!! One of the dive instructors, She is amazing, super kind, and attentive to every detail at all times!! We felt seen and safe with her, thank you Irene 💛

Loved it! The tour was well run, we went to 3 snorkel sites all were fabulous! The guided snorkel tour was amazing where we learnt a bit about the marine life, and then there was also a talk on the boat. Highly recommend we had a fabulous day out on the reef.

The team on this boat are amazing. My travel agent booked a barrier reef tour with his company The boat was well equipped and great lunch and tea and cake. We are not great swimmers but the staff helped us with life jackets and with our noodles floats. We saw amazing life in sea bed while snorkeling. It did help that the weather was perfect Well done to all staff and the company for amazing time we had.
