Brilliant day out - do yourself a favour and just go !!
First time on the Reef for myself and my daughter, we had the absolute best time. The Staff were fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The glass bottom boat was amazing, the snorkelling was stunning and the island itself was incredible. We will be back in the future for sure.
Best snorkling experience & day exploring the island
The boat was awesome - being able to sit roof top on the way in. Best experience snorkling we have ever had, Didn't want to get out of the water. It was an Amazing to be able to explore the island and sea, if you have never been youll easily spend all day there 🌊

We got bad weather.
The weather turned terrible. The glass bottom boat was okay. We only got about an hr of snorkelling in then it rained for the rest of the time. We sat under an umbrella for 3 hrs. They should give you more cancellation time. I know you can't predict the weather, it would have been great if it didn't rain.
