Great snorkeling and friendly staff
Had a great day out despite the weather being cold, cloudy and raining at times.

Snorkelling was excellent
Lady Musgrave Island, a unique place worth a visit, the guide was very knowledgeable about the history and bird and plant life. The snorkelling was excellent- I feel the cold so was glad to take my own wetsuit. You could hire one for $15. We saw some whales on the trip there and back. The trip took over 2hrs, so quite a time traveling which explains the long day. The pontoon was set up well, there were quite a few fish that could be seen from the pontoon as well. A great day out, recommend you take warm clothes, the ocean breeze pretty cool, and we encountered rain, so was good to have a spray jacket for the walk around the island. Food was ok (not gourmet). Not the cheapest tour but glad I did it.
