I went on a day snorkelling trip while in Cairns for a conference. I travelled solo and had a great day. It was well organised, I met other travellers. Snorkelling on the reef was mesmerising. I asked for a wetsuit as I usually get cold. The staff could not have been more helpful. Instructions were clear and I felt very safe . I am an experienced swimmer but noticed the staff catered for all levels with flotation aids as needed. I loved it so much I cam back two days later and went scuba diving. I am a scuba every five years kind of diver but went in a group of two with a leader who took us through a refresher on board and checked in with us regularly. There was time to snorkel after each dive. Food was good prepared fresh on the boat.staff were patient and attentive with my fin fussiness to find good fit. Equipment was all clean and checked. This is now my snorkelling day trip of choice , I would go again and again.

I booked a trip for 15 and there were 90 people on the boat. Snorkeling was a nightmare with people kicking, bumping, and running over me. The crew were delightful people so no fault of theirs.

I signed up for a snorkeling /diving cruise with much trepidation and decided to go with POP based on their reviews. It was a most amazing experience starting from check in to the whole experience. Being a slightly smaller boat with 90 guests, we all received very personalised attention. The crew checked on each of us regularly and patiently briefed us, explained things again if necessary, helped us with our gear, assured us when we were nervous, encouraged us all the time. There were Reef Master, Dive Master and many professionals on board to answer our questions. Being a beginner, I followed a snorkeling guide, Renee, who was most patient and passionate. She always dived in to show us the different marine life. We saw the giant clams, schools of fishes, lots of angel fish, parrot fish, butterfly fish, trumpet fish, unicorn fish, sea cucumbers, ancient corals and even a white tip reef shark! I learnt all these fishes from her. And these sighting were reinforced by the Reef Master's enlightening and informative marine talk after the 2 snorkeling sessions. It was truly a beautiful tour of excellent crewing, the most amazing Great Barrier Reef and learning. The lunch was also amazing - lots of fresh salads and a beef curry. And of course, the skipper got us all there and back safely. Thank you everyone! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone who wishes to appreciate the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
