Great day on the water - Small enough boat to provide a personal experience but with plenty of room to sort out snorkel and swim gear. Informative guide with great stories about the islands history. Snorkelling on Florence Bay was amazing with so much marine life. Really nice to get into the 5 bays for a picnic lunch and a swim too. Kids loved the paddleboards and raft. Thank you for a great day on the water.

Highly recommended we had a great time. - My husband and I had a great time on this trip which surpassed our expectations.Mark,Jan and Adam,the staff,were both professional,very safety conscious ,and friendly. Mark really knows his island history and made the trip memorable with his interesting and entertaining commentary.We also enjoyed the snorkelling,as very much the senior members of the party we never felt patronised but were very aware safety and fun were the aim.We were particularly surprised at how what we were expecting as tea & a snack turned our to be an extensive and varied fruit platter plus cake,biscuits and mini chocolate bars. Highly recommended.

Unforgettable Experience - Adam and the team left us with a wonderful appreciation and knowledge of Maggie. The weather was sub par but a few minor deviations from the usual activities, supplemented with new ones, made this one of the best value tours we've been on. Thanks Adam and Jack.

Great day going around Maggie Island and will be doing it again. - Great trip around Magnetic Island with the boys hosting us. Had great knowledge of the surroundings and history. Morning tea was delicious which tropical fruits, cakes and tea/coffee. Weather really turned on for us except for a bit choppy at Florence Bay, couldn’t snorkel on the previous days winds stirred up the water quality.

Exploring Maggie - My husband and I spent a wonderful 4.5 hours on this wonderful island experience. The boat trip was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. We snorkelled, swam at a variety of different beaches and had morning tea on a secluded beach. I would highly recommend this trip as a great way to explore more of Magnetic Island.

Rough water but overall enjoyable to get a taste of the island - It was very windy, so the water was rough and didn't get to snorkel but the guides made the best of it. Despite not being able to hear the guides enroute at times, they were happy to answer questions in person when stopped, and were very knowledgeable. I was just happy they did not cancel, as our visit to the island was short. The stops in the bays were good, as were the snacks.
