As visitors from Australia we had very high expectations of this cruise as we have some of the best beaches and coral reefs in the world. We attended this cruise as a family with teenage children aged 16 and 18. Sadly from the very beginning this tour did not hit the mark. The music was so loud no one could think, let alone have a conversation. The view of the Arch was great, but there were a lot of smaller boats in front of us and we stopped there for a very long time. The advertisement made it sound like we got to get out and swim at Lover’s Beach. The trip to snorkelling spot took way too long to thumping music and people getting very drunk. When we actually got into the water, the water was dirty, with not only nature from the storm the day before but a condom floating by. The smell of petrol from the boat was overwhelming. And the fish were very disappointing. Two types, but very minimal, we were lucky to see 15 fish. On the way back we were told if the music was too loud to go downstairs, but there was not enough room. All four of us chose not to eat the lunch as one was sea sick and the other three just too hot and bothered. I’d save my money on a snorkeling trip in Australia.
