An amazing day trip! - One of the best day tours that we’ve done. The crew (Jahn and Jack) were friendly and knowledgeable about the bays and marine wildlife. They were very helpful with getting everybody ready for snorkelling and enjoying the warm tropical waters. Overall, a great day. We would highly recommend this trip.

Probably the World’s Greatest Coffee - Some experiences linger like a dream. Ours began on a half-day snorkelling tour around Magnetic Island, when the boat anchored off an untouched crescent of white sand. Beneath the palms, the Aquascene crew laid out morning tea — bright tropical fruit glistening in the sun. Wading through the shallows, we heard Isabella’s voice drift across the water: “Would you like a coffee?” Moments later she appeared, wading gracefully through turquoise shallows, tray in hand, cups of steaming coffee balanced like treasure. The aroma mingled with salt air and sunlight. We sipped as the sea shimmered around us — time suspended, paradise distilled into a single sip. If Nescafé ever dreamed of the ultimate ad, this would be it — probably the world’s greatest coffee, served in paradise by someone who made the moment utterly unforgettable.

Must do! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited Aquascene Magnetic Island on Saturday as part of a friend’s hens weekend, and it was such a great experience! It was so much fun seeing the sea life and exploring the area — the shipwreck added such a unique touch to the day. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt really relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely a must-do when visiting Magnetic Island!

An awesome experience - My daughter bought this package for both of us to celebrate my 65th birthday. Snorkeling has been on my bucket list for quite a while. So glad she booked this tour, it was absolutely amazing. The staff were friendly and informative. The tour itself and the experience to me was second to none. We had an awesome day and would do it again in a heartbeat. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

A great morning of coral and fish! - We had a great time with the crew from Aquascene. They were knowledgeable, relaxed and we felt really safe even with children who haven't snorkeled before.

We were a group of 13 on a hens party (private charter) with skipper kalvin and Amy. Can’t not recommend these lovely people enough. Not once were we bored was full of laughs and lots of memories were made.

Great half day tour - We went to two great snorkelling locations which a wide variety of fish and coral. Easy to find the meeting point from the ferry. Morning tea at the beach was fresh and tasty. I loved the snorkelling while my daughter loved the beach. The water temperature was perfect and I'm glad we could use their stinger suits to avoid sunburn.
