Great Half Day Trip to the Great Barrier Reef

The team was awesome, really funny and kind. They had a great vibe all around the trip and a great taste of music which was perfect. Im 23 years old and couldnt have imagined a better trip. We saw sooo many unique fishes and a turtle it was unbelievable

Amazing Time

We had an amazing time on Reef Adventures half-day tour. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable and their passion for sharing the joys of the Great Barrier Reef were evident. We saw some whales on the way out, which was an added bonus, and the crew deviated our route a little to get as closer as we were allowed. We had about 90 minutes of snorkeling which was perfect for us. They even captured photos of the day that we were able to download later. Would highly recommend this tour.

Good trip

Staff made the trip, very friendly and welcoming. Trip was good but felt that the snorkelling was confined to a very small area, not helped probably as sea was marginal for snorkelling that day, not the best weather. I saw the most fish and bigger variety by sticking to the drop off area of the reef. Was unsure about booking as website recommended as not suitable for over 65’s- we were 71 and 76, but found it totally do-able (experienced snorkellers and boaties, which helps). A bit disappointed as we were told photos would be on their website but checked several times and found every other trip but ours and on emailing them got quite a curt reply just stating the photos were there - still can’t see them and feel that whoever replied to email not helping their p.r.

Amazing experience!

Amazing crew with good vibes and enough time to explore underwater. We didn’t get sick on the boat ride and saw turtles, rays, sharks and a lot of other fish and corals. Would 100% recommend!

Amazing experience! Amazing experience! Amazing experience!
