Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Full Day Tour from Cairns

Wife enjoyed the snorkling on the reef .It was her first time. I've done this before ,and in New Caledonia, and Samoa. I think the company could offer a reduced cost for passanger only accompanying a diver as wife wouldn't go by herself . And as couple not both partners want to dive.

My first time snorkeling and I was nervous but it was the most amazing experience and I can't wait to do it again! We saw so much of the reef and every variety of fish. The staff were lovely and so helpful and lovely buffet lunch and snacks

The places in the reef that were chosen were absolutely breathtaking! It was like swimming in an aquarium there were so many fish. The coral Was stunning and diverse. A very competent crew and skipper Makayla!! Recommend this small group tour over the larger groups for sure!!!
