I did this trip about two years ago solo and was returning to Cairns with family so decided we should all go. We had a great day out with exceptional service and did a dive with Hide the Dive Master. He took such great care of us, as did all the staff, it was very much above and beyond. It's a beautiful spot, a real alternative to the boats that go out to the outer reef and a very different experience on a catamaran. It was a great day out for all my family who are aged from 14 - 74.…

A great day trip with family. The staff were friendly, the bathrooms were clean, plenty of room to move around. We dived with Japanese instructor Hide.

Highly recommend this trip. …

What a beautiful day out. The catering on board was exceptional. Morning Tea with cakes, hot and cold buffet lunch (including prawns), Afternoon tea with big platters of fresh tropical fruit, cheese and bickies, plus a complimentary champagne on the way home. The snorkeling was spectacular and the crew did everything they could possibly do to make the experience special.…

Well organized and with a great crew to prepare us for snorkeling. Destination was excellent and variety of coral seemed almost as interesting as the fish and passing turtle. Seeing giant clams was a treat as was the unusual (for me anyway) variety of sea cucumbers. Think we may have been lucky on our trip but do note that I earned later that the water temperature reached perhaps a record high in that time frame which of course is destructive to the exceptional coral. Food service was also fine and the Lycra suit comfortable.…

Hey Harry Y, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so glad to hear that you had such a great time exploring the incredible Michaelmas Cay-it really is a beauty! You're correct about the high water temperature being detrimental to the health of coral over sustained periods of time. We are hoping for a wet, wet season to help keep the ocean a couple of degrees cooler over summer. Kind regards, Ocean Spirit

Starting with a great staff aboard. Boat facility is relative well maintained. Clean bathroom, good safety and informational presentation. Ocean was rough, so I didn’t took the semi-submersible boat ride nor the ride to the cay.
