Day trip to lady Musgrave
Great day trip to the Island. The glass bottom boat a must do, so many turtles. The island was amazing, all the coral and shells. The staff on the boat, very helpful and knowledgeable. A young girl on the recent boat trip was her 1st trip, she will be a real asset, friendly, helpful and genuine!

Better than promised! Great snorkelling and excursions. Worth the day out.
After the challenge to get over the Sandbar, the trip out to Lady Musgrave was fairly rough, and we had a few a barfers on the boat. Thankfully, the crew were well-prepped, as were the passengers :) Food and drinks were great throughout the trip. No shortage, or lack of variety, and everyone was well satisfied. Snorkelling equipment was all in tip-top condition, and there was an appropriate set for all sizes. As always, the snorkelling was the highlight, but the glass bottom boat and island walk were good too, and the tour guides were superb. Definitely worth the money and time to get to the island and back.
Perfect weather for the trip at Great Barrier Reef!
It’s a really amazing trip! Nice weather! The crews were fantastic and were so caring to anyone who became sea sick because it was a bit rough sea day in the morning time. The tour guide was very informative and led a walk around the island noting some of the birds and plants. Glass bottom boat tour was excellent, we can clearly see sea turtles and loads of fish. We had a fun time for reef snorkelling. Would definitely recommend.
