Small Group Snorkelling to Great Reefs - Fantastic crew on Riptide (20th Jan) - extremely attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent snorkelling sites and small size group meant we got a really intimate experience, laid back and not rushed. Accommodated our daughter’s nut allergy really well. Ticked all the boxes for us and great to support a small local business, thanks guys.

I have done a few different trips out to the Great Barrier Reef, and Reef Adventures is definitely one of my favourites. - I have done a few different trips out to the Great Barrier Reef, and Reef Adventures is definitely one of my favourites 😍 the full day trip was amazing with clear view to the coral. The crew were awesome and very informative 👏.
I really liked having our own meal packs, for me I normally I don't get to eat much on other boats as I'm normally last back on the boat which means most people have started seconds before I start. This was the first trip I actually got to eat properly, thanks guys.
If you've never been and not sure how you will go in the boat just take a garlic tablet and enjoy a day of snorkeling with the 2 great locations. I'll definitely be back 😀.

Amazing Experience! - We had the best time with Reef Adventures!! We had an all girl crew, who were super informative and helpful. They made us feel safe as we had never been snorkelling before. We went on the half day trip which was perfect length for us. The boat is also not too big so the group size did not feel overwhelming. We loved this trip and was definitely a highlight for us!!
They also take photos on a GoPro which they upload to Facebook afterwards - for free. Definite bonus!

A fun day adventure at the Great Barrier Reef! - Very good experience aboard the Riptide! Staff was professional, outgoing, and had everyone's safety in mind. Lunch served was nice and light while filling, perfect for swimming.
The locations we were taken to on the reef were breathtaking and full of wildlife including a sea turtle.
The equipment used was new and the vessel was comfortable and fast so we could spend more time snorkeling and less time traveling with a smaller group of people.
Would recommend if stopping in Cairns.

A Soul fulfilling journey - A great experience thanks to the highly knowledgeable and friendly staff. Eleanor and Hayley went above and beyond to ensure all passengers had a great time. The head honcho Lincoln was first class behind the wheel. A wonderful experience overall!

First-Time Snorkeling Made Safe, Fun, and Magical - Amazing trip! I even saw a turtle!
I was very nervous to snorkel in the ocean for the first time but Hayley and Eleanor made me feel safe, comfortable and courageous enough to snorkel unassisted for the first time.
Thankyou 🐢

This was a lovely... - This was a lovely experience seeing the Great Barrier Reef. Lincoln & Haley were great guides. I'd recommend this experience to anyone interested in seeing the Reef!
My only piece of feedback would be if Lincoln and Haley split up to do two separate groups in the water. This way, we could have 2 smaller groups snorkeling in 2 different areas rather than all of us following along in one larger group.
