Great Barrier Reef ক্রুজ

The onboard staff were very enthusiastic and provided detailed introductions. After boarding, we left our ID at the counter to borrow prescription diving masks. At the second dive site, we decided on the spot to pay the 20 AUD for the glass-bottom boat ride, where we saw many fish and corals. The meals on board were simple and average, so those who care about food can bring their own snacks. Also, it is recommended to take motion sickness medicine to avoid ruining a wonderful trip.

Great day tour at the Reef, we got to stop at 2 diving spots and my package also includes 1 helicopter flight. The operator also has a photographer, who helped you took underwater photos which you can purchased later (though it is quite pricey at $20/pic). Lunch is basic (steak, prawns, grilled fish, salad & pasta) but delicious, and the prawns were very fresh. What I wish could have been better is the helicopter flight announcement - it would have been better if they announced my turn roughly 10-15 mins before the flight took off, so I'd have enough time to change to normal clothes (I was snorkelling right before that). Also I believe if passengers are given at least 30 mins before departure to take motion sickness pills, it will work better. Some passengers on my trip took the pill but still got sick, maybe bcoz the pill did not have enough time to take effect (you gotta take it after breakfast, at least 30 mins before departure).

Although it was a half-day tour, lunch was included, and we were able to fully enjoy the Great Barrier Reef—we were extremely satisfied! We received an email a couple of days beforehand asking us to call to choose between snorkeling or the glass-bottom boat, but they were able to assist us via email instead. I had heard that the boat causes motion sickness, but I didn't get that sick at all. Overall, it was a thoroughly satisfying tour.

সব মিলিয়ে একটি দুর্দান্ত অভিজ্ঞতা এবং আপনার ভ্রমণসূচীতে এটি অবশ্যই রাখা উচিত! ট্যুরটি খুব সুসংগঠিত ছিল এবং কর্মীরা নিশ্চিত করেছেন যে সবাই রিফের কাছে একটি নিরাপদ এবং আনন্দদায়ক দিন কাটাচ্ছে। বোটে আপনার প্রয়োজনীয় প্রায় সবকিছুই ছিল—সমুদ্রের অসুস্থতার ওষুধ, পানীয় এবং স্ন্যাকস। আমরা কেবল দ্য গ্রেট ব্যারিয়ার রিফ খুব কাছ থেকেই দেখিনি, বরং হেলিকপ্টার থেকে উপর থেকেও দেখেছি। 😍

Nice island getaway with a relaxing vibe We joined a day trip to Fitzroy Island and overall had a nice experience. The boat ride from the marina took about 45 minutes, which was quite manageable. The weather in the days before our trip had been rainy, so the guide let us know in advance that the water might not be very clear. Even so, it was still enjoyable to spend time on the island and go into the water. The beach we were at had corals instead of soft sand, so it was a bit harder and more slippery to walk on, something visitors may want to be prepared for. We still managed to see a few fishes and corals while snorkelling. Overall, it was a relaxing and pleasant day trip, especially if you want to enjoy island scenery and spend some time by the water. I’d recommend bringing suitable footwear for the coral beach and managing expectations depending on recent weather conditions.

We participated in an afternoon departure on a pleasantly cool spring day. On the way there, we encountered whales! An announcement was made, and we stopped for a while to watch them. At Green Island, snorkeling was canceled that day due to a crocodile sighting, so we went on a glass-bottom boat tour instead. We could have still gone into the ocean, but we decided to enjoy the island's walking trails, which led to several small beaches. Before heading back, we dipped our feet in the water.

চমৎকার অভিজ্ঞতা! গ্রেট ব্যারিয়ার রিফ দেখার মতো একটি জায়গা! অন্যান্য নৌকার তুলনায় সানলাভারে র নৌকাটি সত্যিই খুব ভালো ছিল। সি ওয়াকার এবং স্কুবা ডাইভিংয়ের গাইডরা চমৎকার ছিলেন। এছাড়া আমাদের স্নরকেলিংয়ের অভিজ্ঞতাও দারুণ ছিল!

কুইকসিলভারের সাথে আমাদের দ্বিতীয়বারের মতো ভ্রমণ এবং কর্মী ও রিফের দিনটিকে কোনোভাবেই দোষারোপ করতে পারি না, এটি একটি অবশ্যকরণীয় অভিজ্ঞতা।

Safety: During free snorkeling, there are many instructors keeping an eye on you at the same time. Floating equipment is provided, so even if you don't know how to swim, you don't need to worry. Equipment: You only need to bring your own towel and swimsuit; everything else is provided. Location: It takes 3 hours by boat from Airlie Port, with 4 hours of free time at the destination. The boat provides plenty of food and drinking water, so there is no need to bring your own snacks. However, the coral bleaching is a bit severe.
