Was very enjoyable trip with great guides
A great experience with beautiful corals, fish and turtles! I liked that the tour had educational components as well as snorkelling. The crew were outgoing, fun but also professional and attentive to everyone. Music helped make the ride out to the reef and back go faster and the lunch was the best I ever had on any boat trip. Eleanor, Joelle and Lincoln were all great and all kind when I had a random unexpected wobble getting off the boat, and Eleanor had some great problem solving skills so I could still go in the second site, even when I offered to stay in the boat. Everything was relaxed so although it’s a lot of snorkelling, some people opted to stay in the boat on the second stint and you could go back on whenever you wanted, so everyone was catered for and felt safe. Recommend using the wet suit as it can get chilly, plus fantastic extra sun protection! And the photos are all included and you can get from a qr code within an hour, so super efficient and means I could leave the GoPro at home and just pay attention to the reef.
Such a great experience, got to see many of the reef wildlife, including tropical fish, corals, and some turtles! Guides, Nadia, Dan, and Eleanor were very helpful and knowledgable. Despite the sea being a bit rough, we still had a great time, and a smaller crowd made it much better.
Fantastic day on the reef, Matt, Jo and Joelle all looked after us so well. So knowledgeable, felt completely safe in the water. Saw the most amazing fish, coral and even a sea turtle. Well worth the trip, thank you so much.
An amazing trip! Highly recommend. The snorkelling was for over three hours and was great. The guides and staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. A special shout out and thank you to our guides Elenor, Joelle and Matt who led the day with such enthusiasm and energy. I would recommend getting wet suits when you check in as it can get chilly when in the water for a while and remember towels! The food and snacks were great and the fact that it was a smaller group really helped and added to the experience. Another added bonus was the underwater camera pictures that are taken and shared with you for free after the day. Thanks again so much all!
Such a great trip to the Great Barrier Reef today with a small group and great crew who were super professional, friendly and knowledgable. This is the best snorkel trip I have done to the reef over the years of coming to Auz and we saw so many beautiful fish. Magical. Thanks guys!
The Great Barrier Reef is always going to be amazing, but this trip with Reef Adventures and our team of Joelle, Nadia and Lincoln was absolutely superb! The booking experience was great with good comms prior to the trip. We were greeted by Joelle (one of our snorkelling guides), to check in and sort wet suits; this was all really efficient and friendly. The boat, captained by Lincoln was comfortable and the snacks/lunch were excellent. The team of Joelle, Nadia and Lincoln were superb throughout, amazingly knowledgeable about the reef and imparted their knowledge with fun and enthusiasm, and Lincoln’s driving (of the boat) was brilliant. Having a small group (<27) made this experience personal, but especially with Lincoln’s tunes on the way out and guests’ choices on the way back 😂 was immense fun and we cannot recommend these guys enough! Thank you for the best day, Dawn & Mike (UK)
This snorkel trip was by far the best of 3 I did. Small group. Special care to be sure we saw everything there was to see. Icing on the cake were the professional photos sent to me, as part of the package.
An absolutely incredible small-group snorkeling experience on the Great Barrier Reef! Joelle, Nadia, and Lincoln looked after us perfectly from start to finish, ensuring everyone felt safe and included during the swim. The smaller group size made the trip feel incredibly personal and special. Our guides were not only highly professional but also deeply knowledgeable and passionate about reef conservation. I cannot recommend this tour enough
A very fun experience. The crew: Matt, Joelle, and Ellanor, were lively and great fun playing good music and providing entertainment as well as a great snorkeling experience. The reef was fantastic, saw plenty of coral, fish and a sea turtle. Great day!
