Beautiful location, not alot of wildlife though - perhaps due to the condition of the coral, or maybe just lucked out that day. Everything else was tip top.

We had a great experience during this trip! The only thing I might prefer next time is a smaller group tour as it gets pretty hectic with a larger group. But the company was great and extremely organized and the staff were great. We were able to rent wet suits as I am always cold and didn't want to worry about not enjoying snorkeling because of that. We didn't see as much as we thought we would and not sure if that is because of the areas they brought us to or because of the bleaching, but we were glad to pay extra for a guide bring us around as we were able to see a little more of the wildlife and the guide was great at taking photos for us! We even got one of a sea turtle!

Everything was great with this Cruise. The snorkeling was wonderful and the staff on the ship was fantastic. The food was very good. I would highly recommend this trip. Well worth the price of admission.

I had an amazing time on this boat! The boat is pretty big with three different decks indoor and outdoor. Upon arrival, they gave us the option to buy motion sickness pills to help prevent seasickness and not miss activities. They also gave great safety and reef care instructions. We went to two sites where you could dive or snorkel at. There is even option to take a helicopter ride at the second site. The reef was amazing! Oh and the buffet lunch was incredible!

Great day trip out to the reef. Food was excellent and Tommy the Bar/Cook/Musician put on an excellent acoustic guitar and singing performance on the way back in from the Reef. I asked people who went on the same boat the next day and it was a different crew, still great, but no Tommy to perform.

Bien planificadas y ejecutadas excursiones con mucho personal para ayudarte. Dos buenas inmersiones en dos sitios de la Barrera de Coral y excelente paseo en helicóptero.

This is an amazing trip. The sea was choppy, but it did not dampen the snorkel expierence. The second stop is way beyond our expectations. Put this one on your list.lunch was amazing, buy your own drink separately.

Disappointed, the water is not that clear and probably beacause of the weather the water is not calm.I felt dizzy and did not enjoy myself.But the crew they were so helpful.

Absolutely our best tour. The crew from Down Under Reef Tours were so professional and organized from check in, to storing our gear, to outfitting us for snorkelling. I was having trouble with my mask and they tried me with three different kinds in order to me to enjoy my day. Best part was taking the guided tour with Marine Biologist, Alistair who took us out beyond the barriers to show us amazing coral, exotic fish, and even a giant clam shell. We probably could have seen these on our own, but it was so great to have him share names, their habits, and most of all the amazing aquatic environment. Breaks were provided between the two reefs visited and they kept us well hydrated and fed. Fantastic experience and we would recommend it to anyone.

El barco y la tripulación fueron excelentes. Siempre muy atentos especialmente cuando los pasajeros estabamos en el agua. Es una muy linda experiencia pese a que no pudimos ver grandes peces o tortugas. La comida es buena pero lo único que cambiaria es que incluiria _br/_ tambien algunas bebidas como agua o gaseosas. Es increible que ofrezcan el almuerzo y haya que comprar hasta una simple botella de agua.

Fantastic crew that went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well fed, and having a great time at GBR.

This was very well organized. I am not a snorkeler, but I enjoyed the idea of at my age snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. I was somewhat disappointed in the lack of color of the reef at this point. I did not choose to do the second snorkeling opportunity but rather did the submersible which was very good except that the children were making so much noise that you could not hear the biologist's explanation of what you were seeing. It was frustrating for her and those who wanted to hear. I don't know if better equipment would have solved the problem. The food was very good. The employees were very friendly and helpful. They might want to consider a tip jar. Had there been an opportunity I would have certainly tipped them.

Great time. Maybe the food could have been a little better selection, but still was good enough to hold you over for the day.

Ran out of vegetarian meals. Staff is a mixed bag. Some are great, others not-so-much.
