Decent but room for improvement
Had a good time but felt the experience was a bit overpriced for what you get. The guide was great though and the location was beautiful.

It was alright
Expected a bit more based on the photos. The experience itself was fine but nothing extraordinary. Staff were nice enough. Probably wouldn't do it again.

This was hands-down the best activity we did on our Queensland trip. The team were legends and the experience was world-class.

Good experience overall. The booking was easy and the activity was fun. Would have liked slightly smaller groups but the guides managed well.
