Awesome crew Comfortable boat (and one of the last locally owned one) Emphasis on environment Marine biology your way back was fantastic, she was excellent! Has travel sickness tablets available on board for those that needed Very supportive, in the water with floats while everyone snorkelled. Highly recommend Great value for money Only 80 people were on our boat (compared to the massive companies with 200+ people).

WINTER! It's choppy and cold. But it's also The Great Barrier Reef. Great crew and ship, very professional and safe. But do take the seasick prevention pills.

Really enjoyed our experience on this snorkelling tour. Both places we stopped of to snorkel were great and we even got to see some dolphins in the distance! The boat was nice and the food was 10/10. Crew were very knowledgeable and kind.

This tour was more than the word amazing. I feel safe and welcome from the tour's start to end. This tour is not just a tour that takes your time to the reef, lets you do your thing and go back. They teach you everything about the reef in deep detail with passion. I was so impressed by how well-organized they are. Food, snacks, and beverages were excellent. The Scuba dive instructor was top-notch. He took excellent care of my husband, who had the worst motion sickness. He has a solid knowledge of what he does. You will feel safe and comfortable with him, even if it is your first scuba diving. I highly recommend that everyone looking for a great experience at GBR book a tour with this company. Thank you to all the crews on the ship especially Marco Polo!

My Husband & I went on this tour 16/05/24. It was a wonderful day out on the reef. Thank you to Nils in particular for making our day so great. It was made so by his attitude. He showed great respect for our ages,(70 & 74). He patiently explained all aspects of of the wearing of the snorkelling equipment. At all times he displayed genuine caring for us, our well being & made sure we had fun. He had a vast knowledge of the reef & the sea life which is pointed out to us whilst we were snorkelling. He was very patient with us whilst we novices were snorkelling. The other crew members were all great too. The genuine interaction & skill showed by each crew member was very evident. We are sure that all of them can carry out each others tasks required on trip. A great asset to the business. They all showed great professionalism. Drew took careful notes recording our medical history & this was taken into account by the staff when we went snorkelling.

My husband and I were the oldest people on the boat and they really catered to us to make sure we had a great time!! Probably the high light of our trip!! Mateo personally took me out to see things I couldn’t get to by myself. Everyone on staff was hard working and friendly!! Highly recommend this trip over others!!!!

A brilliant experience from start to finish. Special shout out to my snorkelling guide Hannah who was knowledgeable and super enthusiastic. Also a special shout out to Drew my diving guide, who was so diligent and reassuring on my first dive. Food was amazing and a crew to match. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely incredible! I chose Passions of Paradise because it was quite clear that their tours were more environmentally conscious than some of the other companies’ offerings, and had the most incredible time. The group was a reasonable size, not hundreds of people, so there was plenty of space for everyone! Would very much recommend them and one day plan to go back and dive!!

Thank you Passions of Paradise for the most incredible day snorkeling and diving the Great Barrier Reef! I had never dived before and didn’t think I could, but the team were so awesome I decided to give it a go and am so, so glad I did! Heath was just awesome as was Darby, Ben and Sota. Thank you all so much for taking such good care of us! The crew had such a relaxed, fun approach to their work where nothing was ever too much trouble and yet they were all so knowledgable and professional throughout every aspect of the day. Passions III is an amazing vessel, comfortable and well decked out with great diving and snorkeling gear and the food on board was delicious and in abundance. Not only was every detail thought of, it’s fabulous to know we were supporting a locally owned and operated business. We all had the best day and yet apparently the weather wasn’t great, but we didn’t even notice as we were so comfortable and having such a ball the entire time! The two spots we dived on the reef were incredible, brimming with life and yet different so that both experiences were unique. Thanks again to the entire team, we cannot recommend Passions of Paradise highly enough!
