Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef Fitzroy Island 1-day tour with optional snorkeling/guided snorkeling
Guest User2024-11-07
Second time Fillroy Island. When I snorkel alone last time, I saw sea turtles 𓆉. This time, when I went to the beach behind the island with my daughter, I saw Napoleon fish 〜＼ (^ o ^) ／ I was lucky.★

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.)About
