Best snorkelling of my life
Crystal clear water and so much marine life. The staff were brilliant with nervous swimmers and the gear was all top quality.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Diving here is magic
Did an intro dive and could not believe the colours. Instructor was patient and made me feel completely safe. Saw a reef shark up close!
