Tean is great, the food is good and the team is very involved with the travellers

Loved everything, from the food to the boa to the excellent staff. They know what they do and they humour us. I would repeat it again. 100 /100. The weather wasn't great but still, we were able to enjoy it to the fullest... live it and love it! You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience snorkelling on the reef. Well organised and wonderful professional staff.

Excellent 10/10. Well organised, professional staff, food AOK, well timed, would have liked to start 1hr later, as most things start so early and one gets tired getting up so early. If you had daylight saving getting back at 5:30 would make a difference. Loved every and would recommend to all

Great way to spend a day in Cairns! Absolutely worth it

Great way to spend the day. The whole team on the boat were welcoming, friendly and could answer any questions. The boat had enough space for everyone to be there. The reef locations were beautiful and we had plenty of time in each location. You had the option to explore on your own or there were guided tours available. Our favourite day of the holiday
