Go on this tour - Calvin and Jack were fantastic. From Jack spotting some very cool birds just after we left the marina to Calvin's great knowledge of the Island and the wrecks around it. We stopped for a really good snorkel with a huge variety fish and even some baby reef sharks! We had a fantastic time and I would recommend this tour for everyone

Amazing day out - Yeah I would have to say it was bloody awesome. Lots of communication in the days leading up to it given the weather. Snorkelling was a little restricted but this was communicated prior too, but it was still amazing! Lots of history about the Island. If there was one thing I might want to see added, that would be some info about the Forts. But the crew were great, easy going and great listeners as my young fella had a thousand random questions 😂. Thanks again for an amazing day out.

Brilliant day - Brilliant morning circumnavigating and learning about the island and its history. Great spot THAT CAN NOT BE ACCESSED BY LAND, to snorkell, swim and stand up paddle board. Unfortunately, the unpredictable weather and 20 knot winds made water visibility poor, but was still a fun day. Calvin, Jack and Toby looked after everyone with care. Highly recommend this to everyone.

Thank you Aquascene for a truly memorable experience - This was a truly amazing experience. The staff were super helpful and friendly. The scenery was beautiful and it was wonderful to be able to see the other side of the Island that is virtually uninhabited and inaccessible. Then there was the snorkeling! Plenty of opportunities to get into the water and see coral and various species of fish. I was also able to master paddle boarding; standing up for my first time. It was a day i will never forget.

An awesome day out - A fabulous day being very well looked after by Adam and Jack. I’m a local and I still learned fascinating facts and swum/snorkelled places I have never done before. I would be very happy to recommend this trip and Aquascene

Best day on Maggie Island - Loved the tour, guides were so lovely and helpful. Very informative, we enjoyed hearing the history of Magnetic Island. The snorkelling was amazing, so many beautifully coloured fish. Having access to floatation devices, the sups and the floating pontoon was awesome for my teenage boys. Highly recommend and would go again in a heartbeat!

Amazing Time Had by All - I had an amazing time. As a Townsville local who knew all this about Magnetic Island. And the swimming and snorkelling were great fun. Thanks to our Mount Isa friends for the idea. We would not have gone otherwise. Not what to do next? didn't take many photos as we were too busy enjoying ourselves.

Wonderful snorkelling experience! - Kalvin and Jan led an incredible island and reef snorkelling experience. It was an informative and picturesque day that was well paced. We rescued a sick sea turtle which demonstrated Aquascene's ecological focus. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
