Pretty cool 😎 - It was a really cool tour 😎. The staff were pretty cool, the fish were pretty cool, ergo, the tour was pretty cool. Unfortunately, I have to write this last sentence to reach the 100 minimum character limit for TripAdvisor reviews.

Fun and easy to do - This tour was good even for non swimmers.. After some simple but helpful instructions we paddled out to the island. It was windy and our arms were tired. We beached the kayaks, walked across the island to the snorkeling spot and Pete told us how these sand islands formed - he was full of interesting information about snakes, stone fish and the history of the area. There were hundreds of fish to see while snorkeling. It was quite surprising since we were so close to the city. Whereas sone tours get too bogged down in useless safety procedures and how to’s, this one had just what we would need and no more.. it was well worth the 2 hrs.

Let’s do more kayaking - There was not a lot of kayaking in the two hours as we were able to quickly arrive at a determined midpoint location after kayaking for about 15 minutes only. We were then led through a maze of parked house boats on the shoreline for about 20 minutes one way until we arrived at the location where we were given equipment to snorkel. The snorkeling site did show quite a number of small fish for viewing but don’t expect Great Barrier Reef views. Another 20 minutes of walking back to where we left the kayaks and after a further 15 minutes of paddling it was over. There was certainly a lot of walking and a minimal amount of kayaking and snorkelling. Would suggest more kayaking around the shoreline should be the priority as this is what travellers paid for the experience not shoreline walks. Overall, an average experience. The crew were very helpful though so points there.
