Fantastic Experience

The wife & I had a great day! Nice trip out to the reef, food and drinks provided. Thank you for to James & Alex who pulled us along whilst snorkelling at both sites, both very knowledgeable and we are both glad we came along. A bit nervous for both of us to begin with as we hadn’t snorkelled in well over 10 years but very happy we did it, they are memories that will last a lifetime. The only downfall was that I didn’t hire an underwater camera but that’s on me. Next time we come back to cairns we will do the trip again, cheers Aqua Quest!

Beautiful reef

The snorkel spots on the reef were really beautiful, colourful and a lot of fishes. However, the crew seemed rather annoyed and did not care that much about how passengers were feeling. Lunch was pretty hectic, more time would have been nice. Maybe move to the second snorkel/dive location before lunche so that everyone can enjoy lunch as long or short as they want. After all people pay a lot of money to do this trip...

Mala experiencia

La experiencia fue horrible, el mar estaba muy movido e día y antes de llegar ya estaba malo y no pude hacer la actividad ni comer en todo el viaje, ni tenía forma de regresar. A pesar de ello la empresa no responde ni compensa de algún modo a pesar de el mal día que pasé. El personal de tripulación en cambio si estuvo pendiente de mi. Pero para otra ocasión buscaría otra empresa que se preocupara más del bienestar de los pasajeros.
