Prehliadky 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.

Skvelý denný výlet na útes, zastavili sme sa na 2 potápačských miestach a môj balíček zahŕňal aj 1 let helikoptérou. Prevádzkovateľ má aj fotografa, ktorý vám pomohol urobiť podvodné fotografie, ktoré si môžete neskôr zakúpiť (hoci sú dosť drahé, 20 dolárov za fotku). Obed je základný (steak, krevety, grilovaná ryba, šalát a cestoviny), ale chutný a krevety boli veľmi čerstvé. Čo by som si prial, aby bolo lepšie, je oznámenie letu helikoptérou – bolo by lepšie, keby oznámili môj rad približne 10-15 minút pred odletom, aby som mal dostatok času prezliecť sa do normálneho oblečenia (tesne predtým som šnorchloval). Tiež verím, že ak by cestujúci dostali aspoň 30 minút pred odchodom na užitie tabletiek proti kinetóze, fungovalo by to lepšie. Niektorí cestujúci na mojej ceste si tabletku vzali, ale aj tak im bolo zle, možno preto, že tabletka nemala dostatok času začať účinkovať (treba ju užiť po raňajkách, aspoň 30 minút pred odchodom).

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. 😍

Since I was a bit nervous about swimming, I opted for the glass-bottom boat and snorkeling package! The glass-bottom boat was amazing; just looking down, I could see beautiful fish and sea turtles, which was truly breathtaking. For snorkeling, I paid an additional AUD 12 to rent a life vest! Just a short distance away, there were schools of colorful fish, and swimming among them myself was a completely different experience. (The fish themselves were actually clearer to see from the glass-bottom boat!) Coin lockers, the souvenir shop, and restaurants all accepted credit card payments!

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.

Mali mladý, energický a ochotný tím, ktorý vás sprevádzal pri šnorchlovaní. Stačí byť aspoň fit a zdravý, aby ste sa mohli zúčastniť. Zážitok bol úžasný a posádka a tím sa o vás naozaj dobre starali. Plavci alebo neplavci by pravdepodobne mali mať plavák počas šnorchlovania. Pre tých, ktorí ešte nikdy nešnorchlovali, je morská voda naozaj slaná, ale podmorské koralové útesy sú úžasné!!! Maximálny počet účastníkov bude okolo 30 až maximálne 40. Občerstvenie a tabletky proti morskej chorobe sú k dispozícii na palube a môžete za ne zaplatiť, keď vystúpite na konci výletu. Veľmi odporúčame zúčastniť sa tohto zážitku.

Vynikajúci zážitok! Veľká koralová bariéra určite stojí za to! Loď Sunlovers bola naozaj pekná v porovnaní s inými loďami. Sprievodcovia pre SeaWalker a Scuba Diving boli vynikajúci. Mali sme aj ten najlepší zážitok zo šnorchlovania!
