Cruzeiros em 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.

Ótimo passeio de um dia no recife, paramos em 2 locais de mergulho e meu pacote também incluiu 1 voo de helicóptero. A operadora também conta com um fotógrafo, que ajuda a tirar fotos subaquáticas que você pode comprar depois (embora sejam bem caras, a 20 dólares cada). O almoço é simples (bife, camarões, peixe grelhado, salada e massa), mas delicioso, e os camarões estavam muito frescos. O que eu gostaria que tivesse sido melhor é o aviso sobre o voo de helicóptero — teria sido melhor se tivessem anunciado a minha vez cerca de 10 a 15 minutos antes da decolagem, para que eu tivesse tempo suficiente de trocar de roupa e colocar roupas normais (eu estava fazendo snorkel logo antes disso). Além disso, acredito que se os passageiros tivessem pelo menos 30 minutos antes da partida para tomar remédio para enjoo, funcionaria melhor. Alguns passageiros da minha viagem tomaram o remédio, mas ainda assim passaram mal, talvez porque o remédio não teve tempo suficiente para fazer efeito (você precisa tomá-lo após o café da manhã, pelo menos 30 minutos antes da partida).

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. 😍

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.

Experiência excelente! A Grande Barreira de Corais definitivamente vale a pena! O barco da Sunlover era muito legal em comparação a outros barcos. Os guias do SeaWalker e do mergulho com cilindro foram excelentes. Nós também tivemos a melhor experiência de mergulho com snorkel!

Nossa segunda vez com a Quicksilver e não há o que criticar sobre a equipe e o dia no recife, uma experiência imperdível.

Segurança: Durante o mergulho livre, há vários instrutores supervisionando ao mesmo tempo e equipamentos de flutuação são fornecidos, então quem não sabe nadar não precisa se preocupar. Equipamentos: Basta trazer sua própria toalha e roupa de banho; todo o resto é fornecido. Local: Uma viagem de 3 horas saindo do porto de Airlie, com 4 horas de tempo livre. Alimentos e água potável suficientes são fornecidos a bordo, sem necessidade de trazer lanches. No entanto, o branqueamento dos corais está um pouco severo.
