My husband and 5-yr old took this tour and it was absolutely amazing. Easy to find check in and where we needed to be at the main Reef Fleet Terminal. Travel out to Green Island for a few hours. Then travel out to the pontoon/platform. We snorkeled at the platform - they have a buoyed area and lifeguards present. Lifevests, snorkel gear, flippers, and snorkel suits all provided. We were not there during jelly season, but still wore the suits for protection from the sun and it was a bit chilly. Seeing all the fish and even sea turtles was absolutely wild!! Lunch provided which was surprisingly yummy! Below deck viewing area and semi-submersible were all included. You are on a large boat with a good amount of people, but it never felt crowded. Could have done the exact same tour the next day all over again and thoroughly enjoyed it all over again.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so pleased to hear you and your family had such an amazing day exploring Green Island and the Outer Reef Pontoon. It’s fantastic that your 5 yo enjoyed the experience, from snorkelling with the fish and turtles to the semi-submersible and underwater viewing areas. We’re glad you appreciated the included equipment, lunch, and the care taken by our crew to make the day comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. We’d love to welcome you back for another reef adventure in the future!
Great Barrier Reef was great, but the morning was a waste with a stop at Green Island where there is not enough time for those continuing onward to do much of anything. The meeting place is easy, steps away from the Hilton. The Great Barrier Reef gives you a good amount of time for some amazing snorkeling. The reef is the star. You can do better snorkeling in Riatea or Moorea. The lunch served on the pontoon is excellent and so are snacks. Warning. Bring your Sea Bands and prepare to see many vomiting on the ride out to the reef.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your time on the Great Barrier Reef and the snorkelling experience, as well as the lunch and onboard service. We’d like to clarify that the 2-hour stopover on Green Island is designed to give guests a taste of the island experience before continuing to the Reef. During this time, guests can enjoy a quick snorkel, take a walk around the island and through the rainforest, relax with a coffee near the swimming pool, or visit Marineland Melanesia Crocodile Park. While it may not allow time to experience every activity in depth, it provides a great opportunity to explore some of what Green Island has to offer. Thank you also for your helpful feedback regarding seasickness. Conditions can vary, and we always recommend guests who are prone to motion sickness come prepared so they can enjoy their day as comfortably as possible. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are pleased to hear the Reef itself was a highlight of your journey.
It was a wonderful experience for the whole family. We’ll never forget it! The food was good, and the crew — there were so many of them — were all very kind and helpful at all times
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re so pleased to hear your family had such a memorable experience and that the food and crew helped make your day enjoyable. We hope to welcome you all back again in the future.
Luca is an extremely knowledgeable marine biologist who made our day! He made us feel safe and comfortable while at the same time very fun. Snorkeling with him in the outer reef was so relaxing and unique that I highly recommend the upgrade. Unforgettable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Luca helped make your day so memorable. It’s great to know his marine biology knowledge, along with his friendly and reassuring approach, made you feel safe, comfortable, and able to fully enjoy your snorkelling experience on the outer reef. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him and the wider team. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable reef adventure in the future!
If I could give it 500 stars, I would. The company is very responsible, meticulous, and its staff is top-notch. Everything that was stated in the brochure was done to the letter. Abundant lunch, delicious snacks. Not to mention the experience itself regarding the Great Barrier. Every dollar we paid was worth it. Highly recommended 👌
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic experience and that our team, organisation, and onboard offerings all exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the lunch, snacks, and of course your time at the Great Barrier Reef. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and kind words, and we hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable day on the reef!
This was a very well organised day trip from Cairns. It is a very professionally organised tour, with safety of the participants a priority We had time on Green Island to walk around the edge, snorkeling twice off the beach and saw lots of fish then a coffee before reboarding for our trip out to the reef. While waiting for the boat we saw 2 turtles and got some great pics The reef pontoon was so great. Easy access to the water to snorkel, under water viewing and an underwater submarine type boat that had incredible views. Lunch was nice and small snacks are also given. My husband and I were really impressed with the whole day
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such a well organised day from Cairns and enjoyed both Green Island and the outer reef pontoon. It’s fantastic to hear you were able to snorkel, see plenty of marine life (including turtles)and make the most of the underwater viewing experiences. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you and your husband back again for another great day on the reef.
Mixed feelings about this trip. Green Island is a total waste of time. Went snorkelling and lucky if I saw 4 fish. Also eaten alive by mozies and bugs. The outer Barrier Reef on the other hand was fantastic. Exactly what I expected and why I went. So if booking a trip just do the second part (the outer reef) and forget Green Island. In Sydney now and still nursing my bites.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Its disappointing to read experience on Green Island didn’t meet your expectations. Snorkelling conditions can vary depending on tides, weather and seasonal marine activity, and unfortunately insects can be more prevalent at certain times of the year. It’s wonderful to read that you had a fantastic experience at the Outer Reef with us, that’s exactly the vibrant reef environment many guests travel to see, and we’re so pleased it delivered for you. We genuinely appreciate your balanced feedback, as it helps future guests decide which experience best suits what they’re hoping to see and do. Thank you again for travelling with us, and we hope the rest of your time in Australia has been enjoyable.
