Great trip on lovely cat so much nicer than the big boats to outer reef! Shame about the jellyfish problem for snorkelling but stinger suits supplied to make this possible! Great crew nice lunch good value!

Fantastic crew and a wonderful location with clear water and lots of marine life. Lunch was great too!

Lovely beach to snorkel from
Excellent buffet lunch
Only drawback was crew were not as approachable or as friendly as on other trips. Nonetheless a great day.

The perfect way to get out to the Reef!!! It was much less crowded where we were than where the fast boats all go -- allowed for better viewing and a more relaxing day!
