Bucket-list ticked
Swimming over the coral with turtles gliding past is something else. Great safety briefing and heaps of time to explore. Highly recommend.

Amazing day on the water
Well-run trip with plenty of time in the water. A couple of people got seasick but the crew handled it well. Coral gardens were spectacular.

Worth every cent
The outer reef is so much better than the closer spots. Warm water, tons of fish and a super friendly crew. Snorkel and the glass-bottom boat were both great.

Stunning coral, bit choppy
The reef itself was incredible with amazing visibility. Sea was a little rough on the way out but the snorkelling more than made up for it.

The reef is out of this world
Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef was a dream come true — turtles, reef sharks and coral in every colour imaginable. The crew found us the best spots.

Turtles everywhere!
We saw green turtles, giant clams and a huge Maori wrasse. The marine biologist on board pointed everything out. Lunch on the boat was great too.
