Diving and snorkelling - Was totally awesome! Did snorkelling in the morning and scuba diving in the afternoon. With Mikayla at the wheel Luke and Sandie as the crew we were in great hands. I was a little freaking out at first Abt diving but Sandie patiently and expertly guided me thru the whole thing step by step giving me an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

Excellent for people who find this kind of thing particularly challenging - A great day, with members of the party one having sand issues and another deep water issues, Luke gave them a great tour on the safety ring. A second tour was too much for the deep water one but the boy with the sand issues went out on the second one without his mum. Amazing they only made it waste deep at Fitzroy island.

Personalised service and relaxed vibe - Reef Daytripper helped us to experience the beautiful Great Barrier Reef as it should be. A small boat which takes just 15 guests, but with plenty of space for everyone. Took us to excellent spots on the reef for snorkelling. Excellent personalised service by the crew, especially Luke, who took great care in providing for the special needs of one of our group members. Snorkelling equipment and wetsuits were all good quality and newish. Lunch was great. Excellent experience!!!

Professional but friendly crew, good boat, nice spot, an overall very good experience. Recommended. - Very professional and relaxed crew. Good boat, good choice of reef location especially for beginners new to snorkelling or scuba diving. We were lucky with the weather too, not that this factors into the service as such. Plenty of snorkelling/swimming time, you never feel rushed.

Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling Tour - Sailing out to the Great Barrier Reef with a smaller group was an unforgettable experience. The intimate group size made a huge difference—not only was the day more relaxed and personal, but it also meant our individual needs were met with ease. Whether it was help with gear, spotting marine life, or just sharing fun facts, the crew was always there and happy to help. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. You could tell they genuinely care about the reef and want to share its beauty in a way that’s respectful and sustainable. Their passion really came through, and it made the experience even more special. We saw so many incredible things—vibrant coral, countless fish, even a turtle! It was hands down one of the best snorkeling trips I’ve ever been on. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a meaningful and awe-inspiring day on the reef.
