Wonderful experience - We started off the day by discovering neither myszlf nor my friend could scuba due to medical conditions (asthma for her, diabetes for me) which was a real bummer at first. However the snorkeling was so fantastic I didnt even miss it. The staff said to let viator know so they could refund that portion, but they refunded it to me the next day without me even having to ask! The helicopter ride was amazing as well and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful.

100% recommend - Snorkelling was amazing, seeing all the beautiful coral and the occasional turtle. I appreciated that stinger suits were provided free of charge during jellyfish season as well as floating devices. The heli ride was beyond words and an unforgettable experience. Thank you to the crew, you were all entirely wonderful!

Highly Recommend. Was an amazing day on the reef - Highly recommend this day trip. It was very professionally run. Taken to 2 x beautiful reefs as part of the day. Lunch was great. Also included morning and afternoon tea. We did the helicopter ride inclusion which was 10 mins but for the price it was worth it. I think that a 40 min helicopter ride would be too long. All equipment was included and the boat was super comfortable and lots of facilities on board. Family owned business that you can really show they are all passionate about providing tourists with lasting memories from the reef
