Communication with the company was clear and effective. The flight was great if not a little hot in the plane. Hannah our pilot was engaging and very knowledgeable about the area, giving good suggestions on what to do if we had free time.

The scenic flight was the best choice for this tour. We traveled from Sydney for it, and it was the best hour. It's truly so beautiful. The boat tour was also long, and the route was enjoyable. However, we did the boat tour on a cloudy day, so the views for snorkeling and the walking trail were a bit disappointing. If it's raining or cloudy on your booked date, I recommend quickly changing your reservation date two days in advance. We had requested a date change in advance because we thought the scenic flight tour would be difficult due to strong winds and rain, but we received no response. Ultimately, we were notified on the day of the tour that the scenic flight was canceled. However, we were surprised to be told that neither a schedule change nor a refund was possible. I definitely recommend doing this on a clear day. Somehow, we managed to do both, and the tour was truly excellent. After the tour, if you relax on a mat or swim at Airlie Beach and then have dinner and drinks at a beachside bar, you'll have an absolutely perfect day.

Bradley, Marie and Renee from Reef Adventure looked after our family of four, including two young children (age 9 and 6) during the snorkelling tour. They are incredibly patient, friendly and helpful. We had an amazing time snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef, and saw abundant sea life and beutiful corals. Highly recommended.

Being able to lie on the boat, on the deck all day! Listening to music, enjoying delicious food, relaxing on the boat, and also snorkeling on a beautiful island where we saw sea turtles! Most importantly, our guides Claudia and Natalia kept everyone's spirits high throughout the entire trip!

fun snorkelling, we added $89 for the guided snorkeling experience as this voucher only includes a self snorkel, suitable for experienced snorkeling. guided snorkeling fees more safe. it’s really beautiful

I spent eight days in Tasmania and participated in several day tours. I genuinely feel that the Bay of Fires day tour was the most enjoyable and highly recommended. David is truly an excellent local guide; the itinerary was well-planned, his commentary was professional, and he was always friendly and attentive to us. Additionally, there were six of us on the tour that day, and even though we were all from different places and meeting for the first time, we were fortunate that everyone was very friendly and talkative. The atmosphere of the entire tour was fantastic, leaving us with wonderful memories.🩷

An incredible experience that I would recommend without hesitation. It's a fantastic way to discover the inland region and learn more about the area's unique wildlife and natural environment. A special mention goes to Cara, who was wonderful from the moment she picked us up at the hotel until she dropped us back. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail really enhanced the tour. Seeing platypuses in their natural habitat and learning about their behaviour was truly something special.
