Fantastic trip
The long trip to the outer reef was worth it. With 3 x 1 hour to snorkel or dive at 3 different locations on the reef was brilliant. And to have the company and knowledge of a marine biologist with us leading a snorkel tour was so insightful. Lunch was good too and the staff were fantastic. Definitely worth doing 👍

A fantastic day out
Loved our trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Snorkled at three sites and spent an hour in the water at each site. . The staff on Calypso gave us an amazing experience. I would do this again.

Fabulous experience!
The Calypso team were awesome, no fuss with getting our gear and into the water promptly at each site, food was very good. Assistance offered to anyone who wanted it but great to allow experienced snorkelers to just get on with it. The smaller boat with only 45 guests made everything quick and easy compared with bigger boats we've been on. Awesome!!

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.
