Great family experience - A great family experience. We went around the whole Island. The first stop was at a beautiful beach where we swam and ate morning tea. They had stand up paddle boards and a floating pontoon and the kids (aged 9 and 11) had a ball playing in the water. At the next stop we were able to snorkel. I didn't want to get in so I was able to float around on the pontoon and enjoy the reef from above. The crew were very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information and history on the Island.

Fabulous, highly recommended - Our skippers Kelvin and Jack shared their extensive local knowledge as we went around this beautiful island. Very relaxing and great to have a snorkel , paddle boarding and swim. A wonderful experience and we highly recommend whether you want to swim or not, the views from the boat and rock formations are amazing.

Amazing, wonderful experience! - We thoroughly enjoyed our circumnavigation of beautiful Magnetic Island. The boat is comfortable and modern and the staff (Adam, Jan and Jack) very professional, informative and lots of fun. I am a bit unsteady when it comes to boats but had absolutely no trouble getting on and off both when we visited the gorgeous beach for morning tea or when snorkeling Speaking of the morning tea....wow! Fresh banana bread, crunchy cookies and an incredible array of fresh tropical fruit. Tea and coffee to round it out The boat has wetsuits for anyone who wants one (and most of the 24 guests did) and top quality masks and flippers In summary, very good value for money, comfort and the chance to see all of the hidden coves and beaches that are only accessible by foot and/or boat. A must-do when visiting Maggie The final wonderful touch is just how dedicated the crew and company is to caring for the environment

Great snorkelling experience. - Had a fabulous time with the kids The staff were very friendly and funny and made the trip a lot of fun. We saw some great fish when snorkelling and had a lovely stop and lunch at one of the beaches. Even saw a turtle from the boat.

Fabulous and relaxing boat trip - This is the second time we have taken a trip with Acquascene- having done it last year we insisted to our friends that we do it again. It was a lovely bonus to get an e tra snorkel at Geoffrey Bay where the coral was fantastic. We had fun on the paddle boards and the floating pontoon. Highly recommend!

Fabulous tour - Other than the weather being a tad cool, it was a fantastic trip. The rock formations were fascinating, the beaches pristine. The morning tea was lovely. The crew were fabulous. I would do it again.
