Reviews summaryThis had to be one of the best tours I have ever taken. The whole experience was amazing. Beautiful boat ride out to the barrier reef. Great dive thanks to amazing staff especially Indi. Amazing buffet lunch with lots of vegan choices!! Snorkeling was just as great as dives due to clarity of water. Finished with great helicopter ride.
Wow - I can't express how much I enjoyed this trip even though I'm a solo traveler and don't swim well. Everythng is well organized. Even though I arrived the meeting point at 7.15, there were many people already, so better go early as you would get a seat on the second floor (i like it more than the first floor which is more busy) and snorkeling equipment before others. Even though I don't normally get seasickness and that day weather was nice, flat water, I took the medicine sold on the yacht just in case (AUD3) and glad I did since I saw some didn't look well. The crew were super friendly, funny and helpful. They conduct the briefing for each activity beforehand. For me who are not comfortable to be in the water myself, I put on the life jacket and there was a staff pulling the lifebuoy for me showing me around the reef until I was comfortable to go by myself. The most impressive moment would be the wrasse encounter! I even have photos with it twice. I also saw a shark swimming into the reef, but it was a bit far away (not my first time seeing sharks while snorkeling, but still exciting). I was lucky to get the first helicopter ride, so I could snorkel afterwards. It was a wonderful experience. I would love to try semi-submersible boat as well, but I wanted to also snorkel, so in the end I did not do it. The photos taken were awesome. I took AUD60 package and the reef & fish of the day photos are so nice. For me better than taking underwater photos myself. The lunch is ok. I don't expect much. They ran out of crackers & cheese in the afternoon, so if you don't want to miss it, you may want to grab them fast. Overall I really enjoy the experience and recommend for you to try.
loved the staff and their expertise and welcoming vibe! the lunch provided was okay but appreciated how affording pictures were ($38 usd for like 200+ pics of the reef, fish, and of course myself with some fish and turtle)! they also did great in making me feel comfortable before trying diving for the first time even though I didn’t get cleared to dive, it was fun to try. the helicopter ride was super short but the view was great.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From vibrant coral formations to a kaleidoscope of marine life, this tour surpassed all expectations. Our adventure began with a boat ride that provided breathtaking views of the turquoise waters surrounding the reef. The knowledgeable guide enriched the experience by sharing fascinating facts about the diverse ecosystem we were about to explore. Snorkeling amidst the coral gardens was like stepping into an underwater paradise. The colors were so vivid and the variety of marine species was astounding. Schools of fish gracefully danced around us, and I even had the privilege of spotting a majestic sea turtle gliding effortlessly through the water. For those seeking a more immersive experience, the scuba diving option offered a closer encounter with the reef's intricate beauty. The guides ensured our safety while guiding us through mesmerizing underwater landscapes, showcasing the reef's intricate details. Back on the boat, a delicious lunch awaited us, featuring fresh seafood and tropical fruits. The crew's hospitality and attention to detail added an extra layer of enjoyment to the trip. The highlight of the tour was witnessing the breathtaking sunset over the reef, casting a golden glow on the water. It was a magical moment that perfectly capped off an unforgettable day. In conclusion, the Great Barrier Reef tour is a must-do for anyone seeking a profound connection with nature. The combination of stunning scenery, diverse marine life, and expert guidance made it a truly remarkable and educational experience. I left with a newfound appreciation for the importance of preserving this natural wonder for future generations
I originally thought that taking a helicopter was not a necessary activity to go to the Great Barrier Reef, but the scenery above after flying to the Great Barrier Reef was so beautiful! This event became one of the highlights of our trip! It is recommended to participate if you have space! We also participated in scuba diving. Klook's package will include one dive. At the first dive site (it should be Saxon Reef), the coral reefs for the first dive are relatively small, but you can also add AU$60 to the third dive immediately when you get on the boat. Another scuba dive was conducted at the second dive site (hastings reef). The underwater life and coral reefs at the second dive site are much richer than those at the first dive site, but some of them can also be seen while snorkeling! In addition, I would like to praise the staff, the diving instructors for their careful care, and the time/itinary arrangements are very good🫶🏻We are all novices in diving (just got our diving license), they will assist you according to each person's situation (can (Add $10 for guide), which made us feel at ease. Our two dives took about 20 minutes each, but if you are a veteran, you will have more freedom and time than us ~ Finally, let me make a short summary. It may be because we participated in the helicopter activity + the second dive, and the itinerary on the ship was fully scheduled. Full ~ It is our first time to the Great Barrier Reef and we want to participate in many activities. This tour just combines various activities. I think it is very suitable for the first time diving in the Great Barrier Reef, and the fee is reasonable. If you want to focus on diving, it might be better to join a pure diving group~
It was an amazing experience and really one for the books . I enjoyed the heli ride which gives a spectacular view of the great barrier reef from above. The snorkelling was fun as well you can even ask the staff to capture this great experience with the marine life. My partner enjoyed the scuba diving unfortunately i didnt make it down bellow. Never thought it will be so difficult . Such a shame 😢 but overall it was a great experience . Food was nice as well ! I love the 🦐!
It’s a wonderful trip. Easy location for meeting. The staff are very nice and helpful. We enjoyed snorkelling under the sea to see many different kinds of fishes and coral. The lunch and snacks are yummy. We also joined 10 minutes helicopter trip. It’s wonderful experience.
The entire experience was efficient and fun, with enthusiastic guides onboard. The food provided were great. The waters were very choppy, however, the guides were prepared and seasick med were sold at our convenience. The heli ride was the best experience out of all.
The crew on board was always attentive and very friendly, the food and diving experience were incredible, as was the helicopter flight, giving you one of the best memories of your life.
The activities include snorkeling and introductory diving. It was a very exciting experience for me as a first-time scuba diver. There will be diving explanations on the way to the two launching points. There were strong winds and waves that day, so those who are not familiar with water are recommended to wear life jackets when entering the water. The helicopter trip was also canceled (fortunately, you can apply for a refund). On the boat, there are staff underwater to assist at any time, which is very reassuring for beginners! The introductory diving was with an instructor for 1:2/4. I was very nervous and forgot everything I learned beforehand. Fortunately, the staff was very patient and I was able to dive in the end and saw brightly colored corals and fish! Warm reminder: The wind and waves are strong, and many people get seasick. It is recommended to take medicine before setting off!
