Great Barrier Reef: Port Douglas' Ultimate Outer Reef Cruise

Great way to view the reef. Nice ship, really helpful staff with good equipment. Food was far better than what was provided on similarly priced trips in other locations. I would strongly recommend.

We are a family of 5 adults and had a fantastic experience with Calypso. We did the full day trip with 3 snorkeling sites. The company was very professional and also flexible - they allowed us to change the date because of the weather conditions. The boat is large, the snorkeling equipment is of a high standard and we were given wetsuits when on board. The food was tasty and frequent with snacks before and after lunch. However it was the crew who really made this day extra special. They were all great and really ensured we got the most out of our day but I have to mention Danni and Renee in particular who were simply fantastic and were so patient and helped me so much when I was quite nervous at the beginning having never snorkelled before. They were so caring and it wasn't long before I was heading out on my own. We all had an unforgettable day and can highly recommend Calypso tours!

It was a fantastic experience snorkeling and introductory dive. It was our first time diving and Ruth taught us and took such great care of us. It was an unforgetable time that we will always treasure. Thank you!

Absolutely recommended! The crew were so attentive and friendly and gave great advice and support. This is a bucket list tick for sure. We snorkeled 3 reefs each offering vast numbers of fish and coral. Food was just what we needed light and easy buffet. Thanks Calypso 😊

Unfortunately, I am not leaving a great review, which is a first for me. The staff were very impersonal and did not connect with the snorkelling customers on the boat. This is my third time to the reef, each time with a different company, and this cruise was disappointing. We felt like cattle being herded from one reef site to the next. Tim was a friendly staff member, but unless you were diving, you weren't bothered with. It was just indifference to the customers. The captain who drove the boat was quite gruff when he did speak to you. I work in tourism myself, and I know the importance of connecting with your customers and making them feel welcome. Come on staff, you can do better, especially since you asked us to recommend your tour to family and friends, because without costumers you can't do the tours.

We had a great first experience s snorkelling on the reef. My adult children and partners had a great experience. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Awesome time on the reef. Great crew.. friendly, easy going and helpful. Plenty of decent food provided throughout the day also!

This was an amazing experience! Excellent, knowledgeable staff, three reef visits (snorkelling) and plenty of fish. I think the whole group would have stayed longer; it was just an amazing full day on the reef. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Was the most perfect day! Crew were amazing, the reefs they chose were incredible. Boat was big with lots of spaces to relax.

Been on the boat once before years ago. Nice small group of 64. Visited 3 different reef sites for an hour each. Staff were great. Buffet lunch just what I felt like.
