Great day! Must do - This was an amazing day! The ship was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. There was clear communication throughout the day. Lunch was great (better than expected). Snorkeling was fun. We did wear the Lycra suits provided and it was nice to have that added safety factor. One recommendation would be to bring a large mesh type bag. You will need to carry your fins/mask/snorkel/suit off the boat. It’s doable in your hands but a bag would have been easier especially if you have kids with you.

Low Isles delivered - The Low Isles cruise was fabulous. The crew were helpful and friendly. And I know there are no guarantees but I did see 2 green sea turtles and a reef shark. So, pretty happy with the snorkelling.

A beautiful day with nature - What a lovely day from start to finish! From the check-in with the welcoming staff to the crew, who were outstanding, so helpful, friendly and informative., our day did not disappoint! The Low Isles are beautiful and Glen, the marine biologist was just super. We learnt a lot, felt like we were in a little paradise and we're thrilled to see the green turtle who was so close to us. The whole experience was a joy.

Great family day out! - Great starter snorkelling trip in the Great Barrier Reef! We saw amazing fish and turtles and reef sharks. Boat was large and clean and staff were helpful and enthusiastic. The lunch was perfect - even for our fussy kids. Lots of snacks and great info by the marine biologist. Glass bottom boat a bit disappointing as we didn’t really see much from that - you could probably see just as much looking over the side of the boat. Snacks and drinks on the way back also perfect - we were all serenaded by live guitar music! ☺️ Only negative is that it was a bit expensive - but that is Port Douglas for you!

There is no coral and... - There is no coral and water clarity is very disappointing. I appreciate the after effects of the cyclone but a more trueful up front of the reef system would have been appreciated.
