Family friendly and fun, we saw a turtle! - We did this tour in Jan 2025. It was a great experience. We were traveling as a family of 4 with three and a 5-year-old who had never been snorkeling. The crew was super helpful and friendly. The boat was clean, and air-conditioned and there was ice water, and cordial for free all day. Biscuits were available at any time, and lunch was a great selection of salads, pasta, prawns, chicken, cold meats, bread rolls, and butter. They asked everyone if they had eaten enough before putting it away. Even people out on the island! They biologist did a presentation at the beginning explaining important facts about the reef and made herself available to anyone during the trip. The reef was beautiful with heaps of fish; we saw a shark and a turtle. I highly recommend this trip if you have small children. Probably the only way to see the reef comfortably.

Low Isle - Amazing experience. We had perfect weather. The crew were wonderful and very knowledgeable of the marine life. Highly recommend a visit to the Low Isle on the Wavedancer. They are also affordable.

The best day out on the Great Barrier Reef!l - We had the BEST day with Wavedancer out on the Great Barrier Reef! We travelled to Tropical North Queensland for our wedding anniversary and were looking for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef that wasn’t just a snorkelling tour. We came across Wavedancer Low Isles Cruise and their itinerary looked perfect - not too long of a cruise off Port Douglas, glass bottomed boat tour, island tour and snorkelling, topped with food and drinks included. It was exactly what we were looking for. We weren’t stuck out in sun all day, we could pick and choose what we wanted to do and we were so well looked after by the staff and boat crew. A couple of highlights for us include: the snorkelling, the guided island tour and the beautiful live music whilst sitting on the front of the boat heading back into port. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and we can’t wait to come back!

Perfect memories - From the moment you are welcomed aboard to the moment you say goodbye, the whole team are there to deliver. Fabulous boat which was not too crowded. Highly professional focus on safety to ensure that everyone has the best experience for their ability. Can't be easy when you have rookie snorkelers struggling with their gear, but so much care and patience shown by all. The reef didn't disappoint - we saw turtles, a reef shark ... plenty of fish(!!) We were kept well fed, with a delicious & generous lunch - as well as morning & afternoon tea. This team are a class act.

Great snorkeling off the beach! - Wonderful snorkeling off the beach. Average lunch. We were surprised that you had to pay for snacks and alcohol. Glass bottom boat ride with Tayla and Adonna was great. Lifeguards were helpful on the beach. Health questionnaire was very invasive.

Tips for future families - The boat and crew were 10/10. Food was great too. We loved the trip back with one of the crew taking to the mic and singing with guitar. Tip- put your stinger suit on on the boat. There are 2 tables on the island to put gear on. You’re pretty much putting your stinger suit on whilst standing on fine crushed up coral. Don’t do the snorkel tour if you have kids. There is not enough time to get everyone ready before the guide counts down and takes off. A little stressful with 2 kids in a new situation. The reef is completely bleached so no colour, but still some big fish and turtles. Note to the guide, tell us to be mindful of reef sharks whilst we are on the boat, not when we are 20m off sure about to swim our further, this was not thoughtful of the kids in the water whether they are harmless or not. Take water and electrolytes for the island tour, is damn hot!
