Ottimo tour, ti portano in più parti della barriera per fare snorkeling. In loco noi abbiamo colto la possibilità, a pagamento, di fare le nostre prime immersioni. I ragazzi sono stati molto bravi nello spiegare e accompagnarci in questa esperienza. Abbiamo anche fatto lo "Shark in the night", attività gratis, in cui la notte richiamano gli squali e tu puoi osservarli dalla pedana (immerso e con la maschera). L'attrezzatura messa a disposizione è completa e valida.
NB:Noi abbiamo trovato delle ottime giornate a fine Gennaio ma ci è stato detto che il periodo migliore è da Ottobre a Dicembre.

It was a perfect tour. The staff was very friendly and pleasant, and the accommodation was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Meals were always delicious. If there is a chance, I will use it again in the future.

The snorkeling itself was great as it would be with any company on the Great Barrier Reef. Hard to mess that up as it is nature.
The boat in and back were good boats no issue there. Boat was very crowded on the way back in to Cairns.
The boat that you sleep over on is a relic from the late 70’s. Very sub par and antiquated. Not updated. No wi-fi. 2 twin size beds per cabin as stated in listing. The first cabin they tried to give us stank like an out house. Finally got another one after asking several times.
Food was sub par. Cold cuts and chicken every meal. Cheapest possible options and limited as to what and how much we could take when we came up to get food. Felt like a food line in Russia. I have been in better youth hostel accommodations.
One of my female snorkels guides stated “I’m not that good of swimmer so everyone stay close”. She was the only snorkel guide out there with 12 people for this 45 min time too.
Disappointed that the guides did not take photos to share like I have experienced on other boats before.
For the price we paid for the overnight we deserved better. Just being honest as most people wouldn’t be. I would try a different organization if I did it again.
