WOW, magical, memorable experience !! - What a memorable experience !! We had our lovely tour guide Reece who waited for us despite us being late 😅! Scenic kayak over to wave break island where we hopped out of the kayaks to go spend an hour snorkelling with a variety of fish, an octopus and a falcon hunting for fish! We then had breakfast (provided by them) Then a lovely kayak back past the pelicans to the shore 😁

Fun and easy to do - This tour was good even for non swimmers.. After some simple but helpful instructions we paddled out to the island. It was windy and our arms were tired. We beached the kayaks, walked across the island to the snorkeling spot and Pete told us how these sand islands formed - he was full of interesting information about snakes, stone fish and the history of the area. There were hundreds of fish to see while snorkeling. It was quite surprising since we were so close to the city. Whereas sone tours get too bogged down in useless safety procedures and how to’s, this one had just what we would need and no more.. it was well worth the 2 hrs.

Let’s do more kayaking - There was not a lot of kayaking in the two hours as we were able to quickly arrive at a determined midpoint location after kayaking for about 15 minutes only. We were then led through a maze of parked house boats on the shoreline for about 20 minutes one way until we arrived at the location where we were given equipment to snorkel. The snorkeling site did show quite a number of small fish for viewing but don’t expect Great Barrier Reef views. Another 20 minutes of walking back to where we left the kayaks and after a further 15 minutes of paddling it was over. There was certainly a lot of walking and a minimal amount of kayaking and snorkelling. Would suggest more kayaking around the shoreline should be the priority as this is what travellers paid for the experience not shoreline walks. Overall, an average experience. The crew were very helpful though so points there.

Didn't keep up with expectations. - I wouldn't personally recommend this tour. It says snorkeling tour, but it's really not even close to that. We were taken to a beach and asked to go swim at a point about 10 ft from the shore. No dolphins, and only basic kayaking instruction. Kayaking was as described that's why the 2stars atleast. There was not a dolphin any where close by for miles, nor was there an attempt to clarify that. We kayaked to Wavebreak island, hiked to the other side, swam for a bit, were given cookies to feed fish so that they could come closer to us, and then left. Disappointing.

Company left before we arrived. - Company left before we even arrived to the snorkelling sight. Ridiculous. We arrived 15 minutes early as well. Unprofessional. Got a refund which is good. Only reason I gave it one star.
