Ting at lave i 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.

Fantastisk dagstur ved revet, vi fik stoppet ved 2 dykkersteder, og min pakke inkluderede også 1 helikopterflyvning. Operatøren havde også en fotograf, som hjalp med at tage undervandsbilleder, som man kunne købe senere (selvom det var ret dyrt til $20/billede). Frokosten var enkel (bøf, rejer, grillet fisk, salat og pasta), men lækker, og rejerne var meget friske. Hvad jeg dog ønskede kunne have været bedre, var annonceringen af helikopterflyvningen – det ville have været bedre, hvis de havde annonceret min tur cirka 10-15 minutter før flyvningen lettede, så jeg ville have haft tid nok til at skifte til normalt tøj (jeg snorklede lige inden da). Jeg mener også, at hvis passagerer får mindst 30 minutter før afgang til at tage søsygepiller, vil det virke bedre. Nogle passagerer på min tur tog pillen, men blev stadig syge, måske fordi pillen ikke havde haft tid nok til at virke (man skal tage den efter morgenmaden, mindst 30 minutter før afgang).

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. 😍

Da jeg var usikker på at svømme, valgte jeg pakken med glasbundbåd og snorkling! Glasbundbåden var fantastisk, man kunne bare kigge ned og se smukke fisk og havskildpadder ✨ Til snorkling betalte jeg et ekstra gebyr (12 AUD) for at låne en livredder-vest! Bare ved at svømme lidt væk var der stimer af farverige fisk, og det var en helt særlig oplevlese at prøve at svømme selv 🥹 (Selve fiskene var faktisk flottest at se fra glasbundbåden!) Man kunne betale med kreditkort for det hele: møntbokse, kiosk og spisesteder!

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.

Vores tur blev forsinket med en time på grund af dårligt vejr (ret usædvanligt, da vinteren skulle være "tørsæsonen"), men ærligt talt traf de den rigtige beslutning! Vi havde et kort vindue med acceptabelt vejr og god sigtbarhed over revene. Piloten Jesse var meget venlig og munter; han lod mig sidde ved siden af ham, da jeg rejste alene, og ærligt talt gjorde det oplevelsen så meget bedre! Det var også en af de blødeste landinger, jeg nogensinde har oplevet med et fly; jeg bemærkede ikke engang, at vi allerede var på hjul på landingsbanen. Kan varmt anbefale denne tur! Men tillad lidt fleksibilitet i din tidsplan, da det er en meget vejrafhængig aktivitet: hold øje med vejrudsigten 2-3 dage før du fastlåser en dato.

Landskabet begynder at blive rigtig flot 👍, og piloten tæller ned ved Hjerte-revene. Jeg er normalt meget bange for turbulens og vægtløshed, men jeg tog køresygetabletter på forhånd og klarede den fint ~ Kan varmt anbefales! Afhentnings- og afleveringsservicen var også meget betænksom, og vi skulle ikke vente længe.

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.

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 !
