Things to do in Great Barrier Reef

There were many Japanese staff members, and they were very kind. Activities were included, which was great.

I had a fantastic time with the Dreamtime Snorkel Experience. Check-in at the wharf was seamless. We visited 2 different dive sites, and the visibility was amazing that day, making for a great snorkeling experience. The buffet lunch was delicious and offered a wide variety of options. The team was very welcoming and did an amazing job with the thoughtful presentations throughout the day, including those about the local marine life and indigenous culture. They were knowledgeable and able to answer all questions with ease and passion. I added on a snorkel safari led by a marine biologist who passionately shared information about the marine life we spotted. Safety was also a priority, with multiple headcounts to ensure no one was left behind. Highly recommended!

Thisntour was amazing! The staff onboard the boat provided excellent service, educational presentations and wonderful buffet food. The snorkeling was absolutely beautiful and suitable for all levels of experience. If we travel back to Cairns, we’d definitely book this same tour again.

We had an amazing day at Fitzroy Island. The snorkeling was great for us and our kids, and we saw stingrays, turtles, fish, and coral. Nudey Beach was beautiful, and it was a lovely forest walk to get there (some stairs and rocks to walk over). The ferry got us there in less than an hour and was comfortable for our family of five. It was helpful to pick up our snorkeling gear on board before we disembarked.

A trip to the Great Barrier Reef is a must when visiting Cairns! The boat includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks, which I thought was pretty good. If you don't get seasick, there should be enough food for you. The boat itself is quite comfortable, but you should still take seasickness medicine depending on the wave conditions. I highly recommend both scuba diving and snorkeling. The underwater scenery is truly beautiful, with all sorts of amazing views. The diving safety briefings were also very detailed and thorough. The service staff were all very friendly. I think the value for money is pretty high. The only complaint I have is that the photos they take are super expensive, so I recommend bringing your own GoPro. Overall, I highly recommend it.

Green Island is seriously stunning! It's practically paradise. The island is small, but you'll have plenty of time to walk the trails and enjoy the water! However, if you want to visit the island's zoo, you might not have enough time.

For the best snorkeling, head to the rocks near the restaurant/cafe. If you're going to Nudey Beach, remember that the sand is coral, so reef shoes are a must. Even while snorkeling, it's best to wear them. It was quite busy when we visited, and although windy, the sun was out. We hiked to the Summit before snorkeling, which took us 2 hours round trip with stops. I especially enjoyed Fitzroy Island because of the hiking trails. The beach and snorkeling are decent.

Had a great experience on the tour! The snorkeling was amazing — so many colorful fish and corals to see. The staff were friendly and very helpful, especially during the introductory scuba session. Highly recommend!
