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.

Beautiful reef, busy pontoon

The reef was gorgeous and the visibility perfect. Got a touch crowded at the pontoon but easy to swim off to quieter spots. Loved it.

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.

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.

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!
