With a maximum of just 40 guests, the experience remains relaxed, personalised, and blissfully uncrowded. Spend more than two hours in the water alongside experienced snorkel guides. They support beginners, build confidence, and bring the region's extraordinary underwater world to life through their knowledge and guidance.

Wow what an amazing half day for our first Great Barrier Reef experience. Marine Biologist Kiki gave an informative presentation before we set off which was great because we knew a lot more about what we would be seeing before we got in the water. Captain Alex said we had a “brochure perfect day” and the whole experience was perfect with a small load of about 40 people. Our little AKASO underwater camera produced some great photos of our he coral and fish. The provided wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins were clean and great to use. Cannot recommend this company more and we are so pleased to have used them A++++
