Thoroughly enjoyable reef cruise

Was a thoroughly enjoyable reef trip with the added bonus of learning some Aboriginal culture. The mostly young crew, were informative & fun. Highly recommended.

Book it!

This trip was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Had a great chat with one of the cultural guides and learned so much about indigenous culture and traditions on our way to the reef. We stopped at 2 snorkel spots and they were both amazing, crystal clear waters with so much to see beneath the surface! Incredible.

Dreamtime dive and snorkle

The staff were fantastic, nothing was to much trouble and staff assisted and were extremely helpful. Smaller groups so it was very personal. 100% reccomend using them
