An incredible way to explore Maggie Island - A must do experience when seeing Magnetic Island! Adam and the team are extremely knowledgeable and provided and amazing tour. We originally booked the Eco tour, but due to weather conditions it was changed and adapted. Despite this, we had an incredible time seeing and learning about the island, shipwrecks, spending time in the bays, fish feeding and spotting marine animals and wildlife. Would highly recommend a tour with Aquascene.

Highly recommend - I had the most unforgettable experience with Aquascene during both the Ecotour and the Circumnavigation Tour. From beginning to end, everything was absolutely exceptional. The tours were not only breathtaking but also thoughtfully curated, offering the perfect balance of adventure, education, and connection with nature. A huge shoutout to the entire Aquascene team for their professionalism, friendliness, and clear passion for what they do. A very special thank you to Adam and Kalvin, you two were incredible! Your knowledge, patience, and the way you engaged everyone on board made the whole experience feel personal and enriching. I truly appreciated the welcoming and laid-back atmosphere you created, all while delivering such a high-quality tour. Aquascene completely exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to come back, and I’ll be telling everyone I know about this incredible team and the beautiful experience they offer. Highly, highly recommend!

Solo mum with kids - Full Island Tour - After doing a shorter tour with Aquascene almost 2.5yrs ago on my own, I decided to bring 3 of my kids with me on this tour and again, Adam and the team didn’t disappoint! All so welcoming, friendly, informative and supportive, especially with my 5yo who wasn’t as keen as I’d hoped. Kelvin got him onto the floating platform for a ride, so I could enjoy some snorkelling with my teenagers for our first time… I’m forever thankful and grateful for your kindness. Morning tea was superb with fresh fruits, cakes, biscuits and some sneaky chocolate treats… a hit with us all. I highly recommend Aquascene for any tours you’re interested in. Amazing and genuine team. Thank you again.

Exploring the Coastline of Magnetic Islands and it's beautiful bays - Amazing experience with a great Captain and Crew. We were two adults and an 8 year old. Very knowledgeable crew who were able to give us loads of information about the island, the history of the island and its inhabitants and lots of information about the marine life and conservation efforts. Our grandson was able to snorkel under the watchful eyes of the crew and he had a great time. This was a great trip for singles, couples or families.

An enjoyable few hours on the water - The boat tour was an enjoyable experience with the opportunity to go to a beach only accessible by boat. Lovely morning tea on the beach and time to swim and relax. I appreciate the smaller group number (15) so it was not overcrowded in any way.
