A classic half-day tour. Rain was forecast, but the weather cooperated, so it was quite nice. Those prone to motion sickness should definitely take medication before going out to sea.

The organization was excellent, and the transfer to and from the port was seamless. The catamaran was comfortable. The staff deserves a special mention – they were welcoming and friendly, 10000% out of 100! They were very attentive, always ready to help, and created a great atmosphere, no matter the weather. Unfortunately, the boat ride was canceled due to the weather, but we were refunded for that part of the tour without any questions asked – that was a relief. The reef itself and Green Island are, of course, beautiful, despite the weather. We weren't able to fully enjoy all the activities, but no one can control the weather.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the Great Barrier Reef. Started the day being picked up at Airlie Beach. Our route took us to Hamilton Island for a second pickup before we were whisked away to the pontoon at Hardy Reef. Along the way we got some great views of the Whitsunday Islands and were even lucky to see some Whales. On the reef I took a whizz around the reef in the glass bottom boat (free) before doing my main activity which was a guided snorkel of the reef wall (about 89 AUD). The guide (Sunny) was very knowledgeable and informative about the reef and it was a great experience. I didn't opt to try the free snorkel area so can't comment. As an overall review, the activities were fun, food provided was good, it was a real experience. Downsides were it is a lot of sailing time (circa 3 hours out to the reef, 4 hours play time and 3 hours back) and the underwater photos, whilst good, were a bit expensive. I paid 91 AUD for 5 photos. They do offer a Go Pro that you can hire for the day and take as many pictures as you like for 80 AUD, this may have been a better option. Also should say as a first time snorkeller felt safe and taken care of throughout
