A must do! Don’t miss it! - A must do. By far the most incredible experience there is! Seeing the reef itself was mind blowing but the experience Rob and Matt offered was 5 stars! Learned so much about the reef but they also were spot on with what to expect and how to handle snorkeling. I felt completely comfortable jumping in the water (first time snorkeler) and everything was exactly as they said. Unreal. DO not regret missing out!!!

Amazing experience - A must-do if you’re staying in Magnetic Island or Townsville! The staff were helpful and friendly. Hiring a camera through the company was also very easy to do and affordable

Excellent experience for everyone - Amazing trip with a very friendly staff. The trip felt safe and well prepared. We had one member of our party who was afraid of the water. The staff spent extra time with him to make sure he had a good time and got to see the reef. I definitely believe everyone should do this while here. The staff even slowed down the boat and did some whale watching with us. We saw the whales breach while the staff took the time to educate us about the whales behavior.

Amazing reef, beautiful weather and awesome people! - Early start to the day but totally worth it! It’s about a 3 hour ride there which I was dreading but they provide snacks and get you watching out for whales because it’s whale season at the moment. The crew was extremely helpful, thorough and direct with their instructions and safety measures. I was really glad that they provided snacks as it was a long day out there. They take you out to one spot and you do your first session of snorkelling or scuba-diving, depending on what you choose for your tour activity. You do one session and then you have lunch and then you do another session and then you head home and I personally liked how they split it up. I found the second section to be a lot better as you were closer to the coral in the shallow end and we got to see more statues underwater. We had Katie as our snorkel guide and she was patient and awesome! They also is a choice to get a camera higher which I decided to do for $85, they give you the camera to record on and then they give you the memory card once you leave and I honestly don’t regret it because I was able to get some great footage to show my family back home. There was about 30 people on the boat and it can be overwhelming at first but eventually you mingle and become more comfortable. Overall, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a great day!!😊😊

It was a great day out... - It was a great day out and we're so glad we got to see the Great Barrier Reef but you have to be aware that it's 2.5 hours each way to get to the reef and back. It's a fast, rough boat ride. The crew were fantastic, very knowledgable and helpful. We had a guided snorkel for our first session which was very informative and built up my confidence in the water. Second session we explored all over and saw millions of fish, beautiful corals and clams and parts of the MOUA. If your only chance to get to the reef is from Townsville then I would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Be prepared for angry ocean - The tour did nothing wrong- the staff was nice and accommodating, but the weather made the 3 hour boat ride to and from the reef absolutely unbearable. Half of the guests got sick. The reef itself was so wavy and the current was so strong that you could not even move. The second session, they moved us to the other side of the boat where the waves were even bigger- we stayed out for 5 minutes. They did warn us that it might be rough, but their warnings were not sufficient. Do not go if the waves are high- it was not worth it. Make sure you leave yourself an extra day so you can reschedule if it is rough and do it.
