The best day trip I ever took part in! It was so much fun and had a lot of time to snorkel or dive, and the food was also very good.

Excellent day out with scuba lesson and an introductory dive. Extra dives are not that expensive and worth doing. We were well fed and the drinks to buy were good. The sing-song on the way back was good fun!

Semi-submersible sub not operating on day of cruise, and no mention or noticeable signage about that upon check in; found out after cruise started. My wife was unable to snorkel due to recent foot surgery and wouldn't have gone on cruise if she knew sub wasn't operating. Told staff that and was disappointed that no apology nor partial compensation was offered by the tour operator.

The big disappointment was that the submersible was not working; my partner was not very good at snorkeling, so she didn't get to enjoy the reef as much as she had hoped. The other 2 of our party did enjoy the snorkeling. The trip was good value, comfortable and fun.

The seas were very rough on the way to the reef, but the snorkeling made the trip worth it.

It was really really cool! Definitely a must do and the company is amazing! If you go scuba diving they are soo patient and helpful and nice. I would suggest this trip 100 percent. I gave it one less star bc I don't drink tea or alcohol, which they provided lots of, but there was no water for me to drink.

Very good tour and crew. Probably one of the better reefs to visit. Even saw dolphins. It was quite windy on the day and many people myself included suffered with sea sickness.

It rained like crazy, but was still a good time. The food was good and the crew were helpful.

This boat is the best value for money going out of Cairns. They offer everything you would like on a dive boat. The diving instructors were extremely good with teaching beginning divers. The only problem was that it was a bit crowded.

This was much more scenic than a trip we did out of the Mission Beach an hour out past Dunk Island. The coral and fish were much more abundant. It was too windy so we didn't get to go out on the underwater viewing boat.

There was some confusion about where to show up. We had to ask around at the different tour groups to find the one that works with Viator. The food selection was marginal and meager. Most of the staff were friendly. Be prepared to be seasick.

Great helpful and friendly staff, yummy lunch and enjoyed the helicopter ride. Very windy day so choppy water and couldn't use the glass bottom boat. Corrective goggles for glasses wearers were great. Definitely take seasick meds Kwells before you go - it works.

Weather was bad for the trip which did make it harder to swim, crew were excellent and the option of doing the helicopter ride was well worth the money.
