Boarding @7:30am the crew were welcoming and informative throughout the 1.5hr trip from Cairns wharf to the reef, “the boat is smaller than some of the bigger ones so the ride may be a little rough for some” but the small group makes a more personal and special day! You spend 2 hrs each in 2 locations snorkeling or diving! The reef is a must see and should be on everyone’s bucket list

This trip was great! I would recommend this to anyone. All of the crew were super helpful including from the start when they knew it was going to be a rough trip out to the reef due to the wind and they made sure all of us had taken sea sickness medicine (you can buy on board if you don't have any). So glad they had us do that because it was pretty rough going out! But once you got close it calmed down and then we didn't even notice it when we were in the water. My husband and I both did our first introductory dive and had a great experience. Laura was our instructor and she was wonderful. I was super nervous and she very patient with me. There were 5 of us doing intro dives so she took us out in two separate groups for about 30 minutes. then we still had time to snorkel at that location and then eat a hot lunch and then on to the outer reef. The ride was not nearly as rough this time. You had the option to do a second introductory dive (I think it was about 40$ extra) which my husband did while I chose just to snorkel (where I saw a shark!). Also went on the glass bottom boat. It was nice that you had so much time at each reef because we didn't feel rushed at all. Every single one of the crew was knowledgeable and helpful and I specifically cannot say enough good things about Laura! Would definitely do this trip again!

The whole experience was exceptional. All the staff on board were more than willing to help with anything that we needed. The staff offered us snorkeling tours of the reefs when we went to the two reefs which we fully took advantage of. She was very knowledgeable and made sure to show us all the different fish and creatures that were around us. As well, the food was amazing all throughout the trip with snacks and lunch provided. Finally, we loved that the staff took pictures throughout the trip and posted them for free - we didn't have to worry about having our own camera while snorkeling because they took care of that as well. I will definitely recommend this family-owned business to friends traveling to Australia.
