Magic Time - What a top experience! Bry picked us up from Cairns and away we went on the bus to Mission Beach. He gave us a comprehensive commentary about the lay of the land. Very professional and chilled operation. Lovely fruit platter and light lunch. Out on the reef... wow! Dunk Island was a beautiful bonus. Thanks to crew member Sergio for keeping an eye on my less experienced partner. Massive day out full of the good stuff!

Great family day out - After several days of rain we were lucky to have glorious sunshine for our reef experience. The staff were friendly, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the reef. Highlight was seeing a turtle. Dunk Island was beautiful. A great day out for a family.

Amazing experience small group reef trip hidden gem - Amazing crew + guided tour of the reef + freedom to explore with a paired buddy. Guide wore lifeguard shirt so was easy to flag him down for help when needed Guide helped out those who were poor swimmers with life vest + floating device and pulled them along the whole time so kind! Was a small group so was excellent Lunch + nibbles fruit and snacks hit the spot :) Cannot fault the experience other than the sea sickness THANKYOU 10/10

Fantastic day on beautiful islands with a great crew - We had a perfect day with Bryan and Leo, the crew. Both are very nice and accommodating. We were on Dunk Island with a hike to Mount Kootaloo and Muggy Muggy Beach. A very beautiful and dreamy island. We were actually supposed to go on to Beaver Reef, but since the weather and visibility were not suitable, we decided to visit another unknown island together, which was also beautiful and picturesque. There were lots of drinks on board, and we had booked lunch. As a vegetarian, I was given a super delicious wrap. I highly recommend this tour, it was an unforgettable day.
