Airport staff✅ Flight ✅ LEI ✅ LEI staff ✅ Snorkeling ✅ Booking website was difficult but worth the persistence .
Met by bright and bubbly staff at airport. Amazing scenic flight up the GC coastline, across Brisbane airport, with a quick stop at one of Qld biggest airports -Redcliffe (lol), along the Sunshine Coast, over Fraser Island and eventually arriving at LEI. Fabulous staff at LEI especially our greeters, the dive shop and crew on the glass bottom boat. The boat crew were full of enthusiasm with intense awareness of safety of guests at all times.. Loved the snorkelling with lots of brightly coloured fish, healthy coral, a couple of turtles and small sharks. Our flight back was memorable too! LEI is a ver happy haven for all the birds. Will have to return during manta ray season: 😃 Definition worth it and highly recommend this tour. Thanks
