Awesome morning out - definitely recommend

Great crew, super friendly & lots of energy. Really informative & helpful. Boat was great & the spot on the reef they took us to was amazing. Saw lots of incredible things and a couple of hours in the water was plenty to enjoy the sights. Definitely recommend this half day tour. Was a once in a lifetime experience and loved it.

Fabulous trip

This is a fabulous trip for half day - the crew are amazing and the boat and accessories are all in top condition. I felt very safe snorkling in the most beautiful part of the Great Barrier Reef. To do this in half a day is wonderful
