Snorkelling Adventure on the Reef

Having left it quite last minute (the day before) to book a snorkelling tour between Christmas and New year, we were very lucky to find this company, Palm Cove Watersports, offering a small group trip to the Reef. Being just the 4 of us including one nervous swimmer, we found the trip highly enjoyable thanks to our friendly guides. Initially we were feqrful of the Jellyfish but we were guided to areas where there were less of them and got to see a good variety of fish in the coral. We were also taken to beautiful sandy Upolo Cay and got a little tour of Double Island as well. We were very happy with the tour and being just the small group it was great value. Thank you!
