Great day trip - Everyone was very accommodating and helpful. Lots of maps and signage. Snorkeling was good and glass bottom boat trip was very educational.

A must to experience. - The boat went further offshore than we could swim so we had a good opportunity to see numerous different kinds and colors of fish along with various sea grass. When we went to the beach to snorkel we saw some of the kinds of fish as we saw on the boat. It was amazing. The Island is beautiful, as are the beaches. Well worth a visit.

Unique view of the sea underworld without getting into water! - You get to see the corals from up close, some of them are really massive! No wonder it is called one of the 'Wonders of the World"!

Excellent reef visit. - Glass bottom boat. Clear vision of reef and fish. Lovely. Very friendly staff. Nice to see vegan food choices when so many cafes on mainland offer very little or nothing. Well done.

Ok experience - Not the glass bottom bit we were expecting. Did not get time to experience the underground viewing platform as it was closed by lunchtime. The pool on the island, toilet and change room facilities were good. Food not so good. Beaches beautiful
