Absolutely amazing! Covered major sights and friendly, knowledgeable guides
The crew on the reef cruise made everything accessible and helpful for everybody. Despite the inclement weather, we got to snorkel at two spectacular reef locations. Special shoutout to Woz from Billy Tea Safaris, he was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a great day out at the rainforest. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone got meals of their choice, answered questions etc..
