Breathtaking GBR Luxury: Snorkel & Dive from Cairns

Awesome day with such a friendly and knowledgeable crew. The day was perfect, relaxing cruise out to the reef, perfect amount of time at each stop and then another relaxing cruise back to Cairns

super professional friendly operator; efficient, helpful team on a lovely boat and a great reef trip

Simon, one of the guides, was amazing and made this tour an absolutely unforgettable experience. He offered to have us hang on to a life ring and essentially took us around the reef on a narrated snorkel adventure. He pointed out all the different fish (including a black tip reef shark), knew exactly where to go to see the most amazing things, and took us right up over the shallow corals. What he showed us, and how close we got, are things we never would’ve experienced without him swimming us around! The ride out there is about 2 hours, and rough, but the staff were very close and attentive to all those who weren't feeling well. Highly recommend!

Cannot praise this experience enough, from the booking in staff, Thankyou the lovely Oldham lass, for curtailing any worries we had and leaving me stress free. The onboard crew from the Captain/ Skipper to all crew members who ensured everything was hassle free and seamless. Nothing was any trouble. Then to the experience itself The Barrier Reef snorkel, this was made the most exhilarating, informative and pleasurable event ever again by truely dedicated, passionate crew who guide you all the way. Oh and the catering! The food was delicious. Enough said. Would I recommend this trip to anyone? Hell yeah!! Every day of the week. Thankyou Guys. Bucket list no1 - tick. ❤️

What a wonderful way to enjoy the outer reefs. The trip was very well managed and guided. Lively commentary throughout the trip and good options for lunch. The team was thoughtful enought to try on multiple diving goggles for me for 2nd dive as I had problems with the ones given for initial dive. Clean boat and diving equipments and informative commentary given about the Great Barrier Reef. Clear instructions about the diving experience and forms that needed to be filled in. An overall day well spent and memories to last a long time. Thank you to the whole team for making it a memorable experience for my first time diving.

We had a wonderful time at passions of paradise and would really recommend it. The crew are helpful and nice even for beginner divers

Our second time out with Passions! The crew are great, the snorkelling awesome and the scuba diving is amazing! Went on two dives with Jedd - thanks for a fantastic time

First rate company with a family friendly atmosphere. Incredible lunch and snacks. Very thorough knowledge of the reef and their efforts to maintain it's beauty.

Enjoyed every part of my trip. Cruising out to the reef was smooth as it was not too windy. Hastings reef was a wonderland of coral and fish. I saw many fish I have never seen before. Many thanks to all the lovely helpful crew. Special thanks to Simon and Jayden who helped me with my flippers as I am not as young as I used to be! Felt so happy sailing back to Cairns. A day on the outer reef is ways exceptional but with the comfort of this vessel, great staff and delicious lunch who could ask for more? Really love that this is a family owned and operated ship too. Passions of Paradise want you to have a good time and they certainly achieve their aim! As a last note I did take a kwells one hour before I boarded to avoid seasickness. And it worked! 😁

The team on Passions of Paradise is the best. Everyone is smiling, friendly, nothing is too much trouble. They are the best crew! The food was beautiful. Besides the fact I was sea-sick - the day was amazing! Even saw Nemo & his family :)
