Ocean Free: Small Group Great Barrier Reef & Green Island Tour
Worth it!
Snorkeling and diving. Great crew. Was fun to be on a sailboat. Chose that over the boat and it was the right choice - felt more connected to the sea and had that sort of charm being on a sailboat gives. If you dive you'll see much cooler parts of the reef. The island part was fine and nice to have done. Very cool experience.

Sunlover Reef Cruises Cairns Great Barrier Reef Experience
Wonderful day on the reef
The crossing was choppy but staff attentive all the way, and once there it was all worth it. Beautiful blue waters, a great selection of fish and a couple of turtles spotted as well. There were lots of additional activities, mainly free, and the kids particularly enjoyed the water slide and the glass bottom boat. In addition, we had a guided snorkelling tour and the guide (Ted) was excellent. Extremely knowledgable after 32 years working on the reef and we saw all sorts of things we otherwise wouldn’t have. A great lunch, friendly staff and a quieter trip back made it a wonderful experience.
