Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Perfect half day around the island
Nov. 2023 • Couples
The team was amazing, very knowledgeable and fun! Unfortunately it was a bit windy that day so the water was a bit blurry but nothing they can control and they made sure we had some great time on the boat ! The fruits and coffee on the beach for the breakfast was amazing!
Definitely recommend and would do it again!

Very enjoyable experience. Unfortunately as the weather was a bit rough visibility wasn’t great but still managed to see some beautiful fish and corals. Jan and Caspa were friendly and informative.

Amazing Day Tour
Nov. 2023 • Couples
The trip was amazing, would recommend the tour to everyone who is into snorkeling and adventure-time! The guides told us a lot about the places which we had visited and gave us enough time for the three snorkeling spots. We saw different reefs which was pretty cool to explore. Also for children it's suitable. We had the best day on Magnetic Island, thank you!

Don’t miss this experience
I’d recommend this trip for anyone. The tour staff provided local information, engaging with everyone onboard. It was obvious staff loved their work and provided a safe space, both onboard and when snorkeling for everyone. The snorkeling was amazing too! Thanks for a fabulous day.

Best work Christmas party idea!
Nov. 2023 • Business
Our team works hard on the mainland all year, so we indulged in a day-off hosted by Aquascene Magnetic Island crew this year. It was effortless to catch the Sealink ferry over to the island in the morning and immediately board the comfortable and shaded Aquascene craft. The day was just beautiful and enjoyed by all nine of us. Thanks to the crew for their great knowledge of the island and all the marine life. We had so many questions, and they had ALL the answers ;) Cheers and Happy Holidays from Vetta Creative

We saw an amazing assortment of fish including a sea turtle and a beautiful lagoon ray. Would highly recommend this tour to any person of any age or experience level, they accommodated to everyone. Thanks for the great time!
