Traveler Reviews

Great day out. No additional costs. Snorkle around Low Isle was great seeing beautiful tropical fish and reef sharks. Light lunch provided along with tea, coffee, water and cordial. Not as long a day as the outer reef Quiksilver tour which was good for us.

From start to finish the cruise was amazing, nothing could have been any better. We would highly recommend this cruise.

We had an amazing day out. Boat was a great size and the crew were fantastic. Lunch was excellent. had a great snorkelling experience, saw a couple of turtles and a ray and lots of fish. A highlight of our trip!

Awesome experience. Staff were amazing and very informative. Great lunch. Would definitely recommend this activity.

What a great day this was. It started of with 3 humpbacks (mother, juvenile and calf) coming up close and personal to the boat in about the first 30 minutes of the day. When we got to our mooring at the Low Isles a turtle came to feed off the mooring rope, literally within touching distance. We also had a couple of reef sharks swimming around the boat. The crew kept a continuous shuttle service between the island and Wavedancer throughout our stay as well as running several glass bottom boat trips out. I had a turtle surface about a couple of feet of my face, whilst out snorkelling which was pretty awesome. The lunch provided was excellent, of very good restaurant standard at the very least. To finish the day we had a swim-by by a snub-fin Dolphin. With all that I had to agree with the way one crew member put it in that great Aussie humorous way “if you didn’t enjoy the day i wouldn’t bother coming back”. Onto the crew. What a great, enthusiastic and motivated bunch of people
