Always spectacular
They do a great job. I keep going back for more snorkelling. I've knocked off one star only because I went on another snorkelling trip with a company off Cairns, and that lunch was much better, with steak, fish and better salads. However Calypso at Port Douglas has more spectacular areas they visit than off Cairns.

Amazing snorkeling
Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Food plentiful and yummy. The boat was clean and a comfy ride out to reef. And the snorkeling was amazing another world under the sea.

Terrific
The Staff were great, willing to talk and interact. We’re very professional in their approach to safety and passenger numbers at all times. We’re informative and knowledgeable. The catamaran was clean, spacious and had nice clean amenities. The times given to snorkel and explore each site was more then sufficient. Food was great with a variety of cold meats and salads supplied in a mini buffet. All up it was a terrific experience. I highly recommend using Calypso for your Barrier Reef experience.
