Things to do in Mackay

All the crew along the way were very friendly and professional, with staff of different nationalities, and even a very kind Hong Kong crew. Although it was raining inland, it was clear and sunny when we got to the center of the sea. We went to two reefs along the way, and an introductory dive was arranged. There was a detailed explanation first, and then an instructor took three guests, ensuring safety throughout the whole process. A photographer was underwater capturing everyone's photos all the time. I recommend adding the helicopter experience, which is definitely an unforgettable view. The facilities on the boat were cleaner than expected. I also strongly suggest buying seasickness pills for three Australian dollars per person in advance.

This company is Down Under Cruise & Dive, and the boat is the Evolution. The first dive site will be either Saxon or Norman Reef, and the second will be Hastings Reef. Lunch is excellent, with steak, fish, shrimp, and salad. On the return trip, there will be cheese, crackers, and a glass of red/white wine. The overall itinerary is well-organized, and although there are many tourists (150+), it doesn't feel chaotic. Safety measures are good, with lifeguards monitoring and headcounts taken before leaving each site. Staff constantly patrol and ask if everyone is okay. Scuba divers are seated on the second level, while snorkelers are on the first. Certified divers can purchase a second or third dive ($80). Certified divers will be led by a dive guide, which is mandatory, so there's an on-site payment required ($10). The boat sells motion sickness medication, beverages, alcoholic drinks, waterproof phone pouches, etc. The staff all speak English, so it's best to have a certain level of English proficiency.

Good scenery and nice weather. The tour guides Jimmy and Agatha for glass boat is professional and nice. The lunch box from Foxy's bar was tasty.

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.

What an experience we had, just impeccable. The best beach tour ever had in our trip. Klook just made sure we have the best time.

the service was very good, clear instructions on how to use the snorkling equipment. had a really great time :)

worth the visit , you can do so many things in a single day . good for people who don’t have much time

A bit oricey but definitely worth it. Seeing the Whitsundays from above is a must, or if you don't have time for a full day tour to the islands, do consider this. One of the highlights of our trip!

This trip was wonderful, I really enjoyed the commentary and the hospitality that our guide showed! Definitely would recommend this trip 👌
