“ Very well managed and supported by the crew, left sufficient time at both the reefs and brought back safely on high wind time. Been very helpful with any questions. We had cancellation of flight they did communicate and helped to fix the issue as well on our behalf.

Fantastic Crew and well organised tour package with everything required onboard.

A superb day out. The crew were amazing. The snorkeling just stunning.

A superb day out, the snorkelling was brilliant had plenty of time in the water. We visited 2 different reefs and at the second reef, we did the helicopter flight over the reef.

We took GBR & Scenic Helicopter Flight combo

We took GBR & Scenic Helicopter Flight combo. The day was perfect, booking process was seamless and staff on arrival were very friendly and helpful with our queries. Our cruise boat to GBR was well maintained and nice. Food on board was having various variety. We being vegetarian were having couple of options which was nice. The cruise was well worth the time and the location were they stop boat is amazing for snoerkling. Just luved the place. Helicopter ride was 10 mins ride and view from top of reef is not to miss. Because of our timing clashing with semi submersible boat cruise time we were unable to go in that but if you ask the crew member before hand they might adjust timing accordingly. Will highly recommend this cruise.

OMG so much fun

OMG so much fun! Such an incredible experience, never any hassles. Smooth sailing from check in to final walk off. Staff were great too, always there to help with a smile and a joke. Onboard entertainment was a great addition too, unexpected but such a great way to finish off the trip, little bit of acoustic guitar and some older tunes.

Best purchase the whole trip

Best purchase the whole trip! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the boat looked to be brand new with everything you should need onboard and the entire experience was absolutely amazing with stunning landscapes. I have already recommended this site to friends, family and others we had met along our journey.

Great experience

Great experience! I would do it again! I loved how lunch and afternoon tea were included. The 10-minute helicopter was great. Staff were amazing. One thing I didn't like was the prices for the photos. I paid $55 for 3 pictures.

I enjoyed the cruise so much

I enjoyed the cruise so much. The staff are funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. Even when I called them just to make sure I was at the right place. The reef was beautiful, both from below and above. Snorkelling gave me a closer look at the reef and its life forms. The scenic flights gave me a beautiful overview of the reef, the ship, and the ocean. Just not really satisfied with the lunch, could be better. But overall, good trip!

We had a great day

We had a great day! The ferry ride to the Norman Reef was fun (we grabbed seats at the open deck on the top level ) Diving was fun, great reef, a variety of fishes and some turtles too. There was lunch at the deck. The helicopter ride was really enjoyable as it gives you realize the vastness of the reef. Buying photograph is expensive, so carry your own go-pro camera if you have it.
