Calypso Outer Cruzeiro Grande Barreira de Corais de Port Douglas

Fabulous day out for family, first time for grandchildren ages 11 to 13 who loved it. Staff very helpful and cheerful, safety protocols excellent. Food plentiful. Very well organised. Highly recommend it.

Great day out, went to 3 reefs and beginner scuba at one reef for something new for family, highly recommend. Just one thing choose carefully which reef to scuba and which to snorkel. Had a ball

Amazing day on the barrier reef. The smaller boat made it a lot easier to snorkel on the reef. We stopped in 3 places to snorkel for an hour each spot. The staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable and safety conscious.

Great and safe tour. Lovely and helpful staff. All three reefs we visited were beautiful. Food was delicious and plentiful.

Calypso Reef Cruises were fantastic! From the moment we stepped on board, the team were friendly, attentive and made sure everyone was properly fitted with the right gear before getting into the water. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and welcoming, which made the whole day feel easy and well looked after. The tour visits three different Outer Reef sites, giving you plenty of time to experience different parts of the reef throughout the day. Morning tea and a really great lunch are included. There’s also the option to purchase photos taken by the crew during your time in the water. It was a fantastic day out on the Great Barrier Reef and an experience we would highly recommend.

Irene, Pam, Miles as well as the and the entire group were outstanding. Pam and Miles did the instruction for the Introductory Dive, and lead our two groups for the actual Instructional Dive. One of the true highlights of our Australia trip.

Absolutely fantastic trip — I would 100% recommend it! We did a Discovery Dive with Pam, who was amazing. As first-time divers, she made us feel completely calm, safe, and at ease throughout the experience. Thanks to her guidance, we thoroughly enjoyed the dive and felt confident in the water. The trip was excellent value for money, and the crew worked incredibly hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. We had the best day and can't thank the team enough!

Me and my partner had an amazing snorkel trip with Calypso! We had 3 different snorkel sites with around an hour at each one. In between we were provided with drinks and snacks. The buffet style lunch was excellent. The tour was very informative and Kate- the marine biologist did and great job of explaining all about the Great Barrier Reef and its wildlife and was really helpful with the snorkelling aspects- even giving us a reef tour. The highlight was definitely seeing a Minke whale, it came right up to us as we were snorkelling! It was magnificent. What a day

Our experience with Calypso was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The entire boat crew was excellent, going above and beyond to look after everyone and constantly checking in to ensure we were comfortable and doing okay. We felt incredibly safe in the water the entire time, and they provided all the top-notch gear we needed for a seamless day. A huge highlight was having a dedicated marine biologist on board; it was fantastic to learn so much about the coral and the ecosystem, which added so much depth and context to what we were seeing underwater. It was a perfectly run, beautiful day on the water, and I cannot recommend this crew highly enough!

The tour was well-organized and we got to see 3 different areas of pristine coral reef during the day. Lots of fish and beautiful coral, even though it was a cloudy/windy day. The staff were friendly and helpful. The boat itself was a good setup - it had a wide back step for people to ready up their gear before gently immersing themselves in the water. I've done other tours where you're expected to jump off the boat, and this one is definitely not that, which is great! I loved the skipper that was on my boat on Monday, 5/25. She was a pleasant soul to chat with about anything and everything that was outdoors in the area.
