Coses a fer a Great Barrier Reef

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).

Overall a great experience and definitely a must to add onto your itineraries! The tour was organised and the staffs made sure everyone was having a safe and fun day at the reef. You have most of what you’ll need in the boat—sea sickness pills, drinks and snacks. We not only got to see The Great Barrier Reef upclose but also above from the Heli. 😍

Com que no sabia nedar gaire bé, vaig triar el paquet combinat de vaixell amb fons de vidre i busseig de superfície! El vaixell amb fons de vidre va ser impressionant, només mirant a través del fons es podien veure peixos preciosos i tortugues marines ✨ Per al busseig de superfície, vaig pagar un suplement (12 dòlars australians) per llogar una armilla salvavides! Allunyant-se una mica ja es trobaven bancs de peixos de colors, i nedar-hi un mateix té un encant molt especial 🥹 (tot i que els peixos es veien més nítids des del vaixell amb fons de vidre!). Les guixetes automàtiques, el quiosc i els restaurants acceptaven pagament amb targeta de crèdit per a tot!

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.

El nostre tour es va endarrerir una hora a causa del mal temps (bastant inusual, tenint en compte que l'hivern se suposa que és la "temporada seca"), però sincerament van prendre la decisió correcta! Vam tenir una breu finestra de bon temps i bona visibilitat sobre els esculls. El pilot, Jesse, va ser molt amable i alegre; em va fer seure al seu costat en veure que viatjava sol, i sincerament va fer que l'experiència fos molt millor! A més, va ser un dels aterratges més suaus que he experimentat mai en un avió; ni tan sols vaig notar que ja estàvem amb les rodes a la pista. Recomano molt aquest tour! Però permeteu una mica de flexibilitat en el vostre horari, ja que és una activitat molt dependent del temps: estigueu atents a la previsió 2-3 dies abans de fixar una data.

El paisatge comença a ser impressionant 👍, el pilot fa un compte enrere quan s'arriba a l'escull en forma de cor. Tinc molta por a les sacsejades i a la sensació d'ingravidesa, així que vaig prendre pastilles per al mareig endavant i ho vaig poder superar~ Molt recomanable, el servei de recollida i arribada també va ser molt atent i no vam haver d'esperar gaire.

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.

Experiència excel·lent! La Gran Barrera de Corall val la pena visitar-la! El vaixell Sunlovers era molt agradable en comparació amb altres vaixells. Els guies del SeaWalker i del Scuba Diving van ser excel·lents. També vam tenir la millor experiència de snorkel!
