Great Barrier Reef snorkel day trip

What a fantastic day we enjoyed at 3 seperate reef locations. The Team we had clearly enjoy what they do, they were very professional, informative and safety conscious. The food on board was excellent. Some of us were first timer snorkelers. A total of 29 guests on board with 4 crew - would love to do this again next time we are in the area and wouldn’t change a thing 😃

Fantastic

The crew were superb, so very helpful and knowledgable. The food was great and the whole experience was unforgettable. We saw dolphins, breaching whales and so much life within the reef. Highly recommended.

Reef tour Calypso

We had a great time out, staff were amazing, very helpful and entertaining. Photographer got some great photos of us under water, which we purchased. All the food was great, good selection and plenty of it. Nice to have a hot drink when we came back on board. Definitely recommend going out with Calypso. We want to do the half trip next time to Low Isles.
