Traveler Reviews

Sadly the boat broke down, after waiting on the boat in port Douglas for an hour the trip was cancelled. Disappointing for all. We’re still hoping we get a full refund.

We had a fantastic day, the crew were so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The snorkelling was fabulous, we saw some gorgeous turtles and amazing fish. The boat was just lovely too. A truly memorable and enjoyable day!

This was a fabulous day out on a really lovely boat with a nice bunch of people, probably no more than 50, but it's a big boat so loads of space! We have done this type of tour before in various places but this was right up there with the very best. The day was as expected with excellent food, drink, snorkelling etc all provided. What made it so exceptional was the lovely crew, so friendly, fun, efficient and professional. As well as the expected activities we were given a talk and a short walking guided tour round one of the Low Isles by the on-board Marine Biologist. She was able to answer all our questions! What a great day, thoroughly recommended!

Excellent.
