It was wonderful that the tour was tailored to the conditions and group. The staff were friendly and super helpful. The info was informative without being boring. It was a wonderful day, and the views of the Island and the Bays were unique. Thank you - we had an amazing day on our trip around Maggie!

Fun day “in & on” the water - We had such an amazing time on this boat tour around Magnetic Island. From start to finish, everything was so well organized—the crew was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area. The views were beautiful and we got to see hidden beaches and even spot some marine life up. It was relaxing, fun, and a great way to explore the island from a different perspective. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Magnetic Island!

Fantastic experience. - The AquaScene Circumnavigation Tour was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The crew were not only incredibly friendly and welcoming, but also exceptionally knowledgeable about the local area, marine life, and history of the region. Their passion really added to the experience and made the day feel special. We visited a range of stunning snorkelling spots, each unique and full of marine life. The visibility was great, and we had the chance to swim alongside a huge variety of tropical fish as well as baby black tip reef sharks—which was a real highlight! The crew made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable in the water, regardless of experience level. The boat was well-equipped and comfortable, and the day was well-paced with plenty of time to explore each location without feeling rushed. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. I’d highly recommend AquaScene to anyone looking to explore the area from the water and get up close with the amazing marine life.

Fabulous from start to finish - Was a fantastic way to see the island and hear some of the history. We saw some beautiful bird and sea life along the way. The crew were fantastic, pointing out interesting info and sights, finding the best spots for a snorkel and a swim. They kept watch over us, prepared lovely mid morning tea and provided us with all the equipment needed. A really lovely trip, highly recommend!

Simply a must do experience - Great views, informative, despite all the rain & floods we've had, somehow on the day we had no rain & the ocean was flat. Not good for Snorkelling but can't expect too much after the weather we've had. As we drifted in boat we even managed to see Dugongs up close, fantastic Thankyou to Kalvin & Adam for such a great experience.
