Prohlídky 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.

Skvělý celodenní výlet na útes, zastavili jsme se na 2 potápěčských místech a můj balíček zahrnoval i 1 let helikoptérou. Provozovatel má také fotografa, který vám pomohl pořídit podvodní fotografie, které si můžete později zakoupit (i když jsou poměrně drahé, 20 dolarů za fotku). Oběd je základní (steak, krevety, grilovaná ryba, salát a těstoviny), ale chutný, a krevety byly velmi čerstvé. Co bych si přál, aby bylo lepší, je oznámení letu helikoptérou – bylo by lepší, kdyby oznámili můj čas zhruba 10-15 minut před odletem, abych měl dostatek času na převlečení do normálního oblečení (předtím jsem šnorchloval). Také se domnívám, že pokud by cestující dostali alespoň 30 minut před odjezdem na užití léků proti mořské nemoci, fungovalo by to lépe. Někteří cestující na mé cestě si pilulku vzali, ale přesto jim bylo špatně, možná proto, že pilulka neměla dostatek času začít působit (musíte si ji vzít po snídani, alespoň 30 minut před odjezdem).

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.

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. 😍

Since I was a bit nervous about swimming, I opted for the glass-bottom boat and snorkeling package! The glass-bottom boat was amazing; just looking down, I could see beautiful fish and sea turtles, which was truly breathtaking. For snorkeling, I paid an additional AUD 12 to rent a life vest! Just a short distance away, there were schools of colorful fish, and swimming among them myself was a completely different experience. (The fish themselves were actually clearer to see from the glass-bottom boat!) Coin lockers, the souvenir shop, and restaurants all accepted credit card payments!

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.

Měli mladý, energický a ochotný tým, který vás provázel při šnorchlování. Stačí být alespoň v kondici a zdravý, abyste se mohli zúčastnit. Zážitek byl úžasný a posádka i tým se o vás opravdu dobře starali. Plavci i neplavci by si pravděpodobně měli vzít plovák během šnorchlování. Pro ty, kteří ještě nikdy nešnorchlovali, je mořská voda opravdu slaná, ale podmořské korálové výhledy jsou úžasné!!! Maximální počet účastníků bude kolem 30 až 40. Občerstvení a léky proti mořské nemoci jsou k dispozici na palubě a můžete za ně zaplatit, až vystoupíte na konci výletu. Velmi doporučujeme se tohoto zážitku zúčastnit.

Excellent experience! Thr Great Barrier Reef is definitely worth going! Sunlovers boat was really nice compared to other boats. The guides to the SeaWalker and the Scuber Diving were excellent. We also had the best snorkeling experience !
