Michelle_S

Professional tour staff, broad range of optional activities across the day, well organised, great communication, educational, delicious and generous lunch too!

Excellent experience! Swimming freely with the turtles, fish and even small sharks was awesome! Got picked up from our apartment at Palm Cove and dropped off. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea was great! Plenty of beverages to stay hydrated (and even Aloe Vera for any burnt victims like myself) I liked how you had a choice to do anything you wanted and no restricted, I snorkelled for the entire time and was perfect! Great staff, very friendly and helpful if you needed anything they were there for you! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy the day and they take care of everything and value for money for sure!

Just wonderful service and we saw so much around the island. The group six was quite big but we knew that given the boat size. Lunch was magnificent and that complimentary glass of bubbles at the end was a nice touch. We saw turtles, reef sharks and so many other awesome sea life. Well done guys.

Fantastic experience, very well organised and enjoyable. Would recommend this to families, I did this tour 28 years ago with my children and this time with my grandkids

Davejohn63

This was best tour by far. Well organised with friendly crew. Low Isles was amazing to swim and snorkelling. Great lunch and all inclusive

NanetteStephen

We found the bus trip informative as we were given a heads up on what to expect and we’re able to plan our day. The sky was clear with moderate winds so the glass bottom boat tour was fascinating. Lunch on board was superb. We spent the afternoon snorkeling off the Atol. The coral was beautiful, so colorful. We saw so many different fish. On the shuttle we viewed several turtles as well. It was a lovely ride home sipping sparkling on the foredeck listening to a crew member who entertained us with songs as he played his guitar. Truly a memorable day. Thank you Wave Dancer crew you are the best.

Snorkelling lunch sailing and singing was brilliant - wonderful day out to the low isles on Windancer

amyhJ6608BM

What an unforgettable experience! Pickup from Palm Cove direct to the boat along the coastline, a beautiful 1 hour sail to the island. Snorkelling instructions and information provided was fantastic. Very friendly staff and service. Would recommend taking the glass bottom boat out and eating lunch before the snorkelling experience / walk around the island so that you don’t waste time on the shuttle to and from the island. Grey (crew member) sang us back to Port with a complimentary glass of bubbles. Was highly enjoyable and would definitely recommend!
