The crew were great. Food was mainly cold dishes but the selection was adequate. Snorkeling was tough for young kids but the island walkabout was interesting.

Great experience, although we failed at snorkeling 🥹. The whole day was so well organised with friendly, helpful crew. Lovely, fresh lunch - prawns, chicken, salads & pasta. Glass of bubbly on our way home. The company kept us up to date via email prior to joining the boat.

Wonderful day out to the inner reef. Chose this option with my family as having been to the outer reef a few times previously wanted to ensure an easy enjoyable trip. Good points- Less distance to travel (do take the sea sickness tablets as soon as boarding, none of us were sick) & an island to stand on in case anyone was unwell & needed time to recover. Boat was clean & comfortable, staff very helpful. We went at Easter & thought would be busy but was an actually only about a third full so lots of opportunity to move around the boat. Stinger suits provided & snorkel gear. Would be helpful if they’d advised to put on suit when travelling across to the island save then trying to put on on the sand. Good snorkelling on the reef, we were lucky the tide was in so able to access the reef, good snorkelling saw lots of fish, clams. Coral & a distant turtle. Would have liked to have done the guided snorkel tour however it moves off very quickly after first transfer to the island & didn’t allow enough time for us to get our suits on & snorkels (trying to sort out the children). Which was a real shame as my eldest son (12yrs) particularly wanted to do it. Food was lovely, lots of choice & plenty of it.
