Reviews: Cairns Reef Magic Moore Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour
Guest User2025-11-03
I'm so disappointed that the photo service is gone ㅠㅠ I saw the Napoleon fish that I wanted to see so badly, but I just passed by with my eyes 😭 People without a GoPro have no way to take a picture even if they saw it right in front of them 😭★

Reviews: Full-Day Great Barrier Reef Pontoon with Snorkeling & Activities
Guest User2024-09-18
Very fun experience to see the Great Barrier Reef with lots of options, snorkeling was so fun but also an underwater viewing area and semi submersible submarine ride where we saw a turtle among 400 year old coral. The only caveat is to check the sea conditions before as it was rough getting to the pontoon if one is susceptible to sea sickness. But the staff is quite well prepared to care for this. (And my friend recovered quickly.)★

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-14
Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour! ★

Reviews: [Limited-Time Special for Kids] Cairns Great Barrier Reef Sunlover Day Tour with Optional Helicopter Ride
Guest User2025-04-30
Great value sun lover day trip, great.
The scenery on the way out by boat is super beautiful, the buffet tastes good, there are many tricks, and the tube is full and enough. The crew service is also very thoughtful, and they are very patient to help take pictures and answer questions. The helicopter must experience it, beyond the unexpected surprise, from the sky to see the sea and coral reefs, the view is super shocking! Snorkeling also saw a lot of beautiful small fish, but also met turtles!
A day to be full and happy, highly recommended!
