A lovely day tour to the Great Barrier Reef.
A lovely day tour to the Great Barrier Reef. Booking was easy and received the confirmation straight away, and the rewards points were deposited to my account immediately as well! The coach transfer in the morning was on time, and the morning tea, buffet lunch and afternoon tea were good. Snorkelling equipment was provided with helpful staff giving good instructions. And the fish feeding during snorkelling was fantastic, saw so many beautiful fish! The semi-submersible boat and underwater observatory were great too, corals are magnificent.
Great Bartier Reef Dive and Snorkeling Excursion
We did the Great Bartier Reef Dive and Snorkeling Excursion on September 14th. The entire crew and staff were just fantastic! I was especially impressed at the effort the crew made to make sure all the equipment was clean and functional. They were very attentive and made sure that everyone was comfortable, safe, and enjoyed all the activities. I did the helmet drive, snorkeling, and the glass bottom submersible - each of these was absolutely terric! 5 stars all round. Can't wait to this again in the near future!!

Fantastic day! Professional team. Great program. Activities for everyone -Non swimmers, snorkelers of every level and divers too.
The boat was massive and so were the crowds. We wondered what we signed up for. But very soon we found the team so professional. Range of activities on board to choose from. My husband signed Up for the marine biologist snorkelling. Eli was amazing and he loved the small group (in his case just 2) intimate tour. Swimming close to the reef and seeing all the fish except the reef shark were his highlights. As a non swimmer I enjoyed the semi submersible and the underwater gallery. Jason the skipper nudged me to try just sitting on the pontoon in Lycra to experience the fish swimming around my legs. I shocked myself by saying yes- he was so reassuring about my safety. Scotty the instructor was most nurturing and encouraging and it was not long before I held the ropes and went on both sides of the pontoon looking down at the reef with fish swimming around me. The safety support and guidance available is way beyond my expectations. We highly recommend this tour to anyone. It is worth every dollar and more. Jason, Scotty and Eli - you are all legends. Thanks for making our GBR experience so unforgettable. Sean & Mila
