Our Tour Lovers

Danielle PTripAdvisor

Great tour lots of sea life, fish were very curious. Staff were lovely. My son was a little scared getting in the water for the snorkel and the lovely lady was very patient and supportive, she swam with him and kept him company throughout the snorkel which was extremely helpful. He was wrapped he could hold onto to her buoy 🛟 We saw lots of turtles and some sharks. Stand up paddles were a hit with my children. Thank you Captain Wayne and crew for a beautiful day

Rob WTripAdvisor

The trip was amazing and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a blast snorkeling!! Were able to see dolphins, sea titans a sea cow, amazing!! The food was great and the atmosphere was awesome. The Captain, Wayne was great. Had patience with the boat and provided local information. Tenayah was very friendly and helpful, made our excursion one of the best. Sara was on time driving the shuttle and we felt very safe with her at the wheel. She provided so much information regarding the sea life we saw while snorkeling. Can’t wait to come back!

Definitely hands down one of the best tours that I’ve been too as a solo traveler. The staff was amazing and they all loved what they were doing. The pick up shuttle was on time and once we go to the dock, it was a smooth process to check in. There was plenty of time for everything on the itinerary, and I did not feel like I was rushed. The snorkeling time was just right as well as the time on the beach.

The team explained everything in great details and really made the trip awesome. When I return next year, I’m definitely booking this tour again!!

I had the best day ever! They even had decaf coffee available. I was well prepared to snorkel by the staff. All of the staff was super prepared and made my trip enjoyable. The lunch was perfect. I try to eat low carb and there were lots of options. As well as higher carb options for those that wanted those.

During the beach time, paddle boards were provided. I’ve been wanting to try it out, and I loved it! I think I’ll have to go home and take a class!

Jason PTripAdvisor

This was an outstanding trip and the highlight of our week in Brisbane. The team did not disappoint!

All the crew were exceptionally helpful and friendly throughout the day and the snorkelling around the wrecks really well organised and staffed. If you’re not a particularly confident swimmer, the crew ensured that life jackets, flotation devices, noodles were available and you’re well looked after with guides front, middle and at the back of the group, with a roving boat keeping an eye on everyone. Really safe and allows you to experience the amazing sea life on the wrecks, whatever your level of experience.
