Highly recommended from a first-time-snorkeller - Had so much fun, the guides were so good, knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. All seemed so experienced, hard to believe this company’s only been going for a few months! As a first time snorkeller I’m glad i picked a half day rather than a full day as it’s quite tiring work after a while. Highly recommend these guys, great value!

Fun in the sun AND a sing along! - My husband and I signed up as we were short on time and thought a half day would do us for snorkelling. We meet the crew near the pier and were fitted out in our stinger outfits and headed to the ‘Mad Max’. Trip out was good, instructions clear and the equipment all clean and in good nick. The reef was amazing and loved losing myself for an hour or 2. My husband unfortunately was quite seasick and the crew looked after him well. The singalong on the way back was great fun and shake it off a highlight. Drinks and snack on way back were a nice touch. Thank you for a great afternoon. Nic and Jim

Amazing crew ❤️ - The team Ken, Lachie and Cass were all ultimate professionals and bought fun and kindness to this tour. I’m hoping I got the names right we all went out as a group in the afternoon, they were super kind and calm, with new people and then those that were nervous … nothing was too much trouble they were experts when dealing with a couple of the gang who didn’t quite get their sea legs in time … full of knowledge about the wildlife .. taking our pictures just a dream I cannot highly recommend this tour enough, you see as much as you want to see in an afternoon and then get the rest of the day for other things. The operator is a new set up so the equipment is in great condition however the crew seem like they have been doing it a lifetime. Thank you again ❤️

Unforgettable snorkelling experience - This was such an unforgettable experience. I loved going out on to the Reef and snorkelling. The Reef Adventures crew was incredibly helpful and so friendly, making my first time snorkelling a very comfortable and good memory. The only negative thing I can think of is the fact that they lost the pictures of the tour and I only discovered after sending them a message to ask for them. But I understand that's not their fault and it's something that can happen.

Fantastic Snorkeling Tour and for all levels of snorkeling skills! - Excellent tour company and boat! I was glad to see safety was a priority as we had a few guests who were not very good swimmers but the tour guides made sure to stay with them and enjoy their snorkeling time at the barrier reef (I was very impressed by this and kudos to the crew for their patience and dedication!). The reef area they took us to was magnificent and I dive all over the world. I highly recommend this Tour company!
