All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I was snorkelling for the first time, so there was lots of care and I felt very safe. Thank you,

That was a wonderful experience with an amazing team ! They brought a good energy throughout the day, they were always making sure that everyone was having a good time I did snorkeling and it was so beautiful, that was actually on my bucket list to snorkel at the great barrier of reef and I don’t regret it I would definitely recommend to anyone, and hopefully I’ll be back in town to try scuba diving!

This was my first time snorkelling and diving and the team made me feel super safe the entire time. I enjoyed the intro dive so much that I decided to do a second one in the afternoon location as well.

The guides were excellent and plentiful to make sure we were safe in the water but also had a great experience. They also helped us find and identify fish at the reef. The only drawbacks were that the lunch was awful - like really bad. I would have also appreciated a little more education about the reef itself. But overall, this company was great and made for an amazing experience.
