Quick and easy way to view the reef - We were looking for something quick and easy for the whole family to enjoy, and we weren’t disappointed. And a very good price for a family ticket !!! Today, our family learnt lots about the coral and marine life around Airlie Beach, through the friendly and entertaining hosts on today’s trip. The boat was modern, comfortable and roomy, with everything we needed and we were able to move freely to see different aspects of the water/reef. It was comfortable, easy to access for elderly and less mobile people. We’d do it again happily!

Good hour’s trip - A great trip from Shute Harbour. Several species of fish seen through the glass bottom as well as healthy looking coral. Good knowledgeable guide. Shame we didn’t see any larger fish but that’s life! Thanks very much

Live here, it's a home, reef is dying. Go north - Been a local for nearly 6 years, the place,. gorgeous, the "locals" are the scum of the earth. Avoid, if you're rich you'll get to turn your nose up at the working class,if you're a backpacker you'll stink like sun lotion and disappointment while the locals piss and moan.about Victorians buying up real estate after COVID even though they quote they've been here "30 years and it was different then!" Food is reheated from one place "it's near Woolworths on Galbreith" if you're with you're with kids and familiy the kids will have an iPad where you're from and you'll save money not.coming here, the parents of you,.you'll still get.to.tell your mates you came and double down on how awesome it.is here (it's not)
