I was very impressed with this tour as we were blessed to have some marine biologists with us. The group size was perfect to allow for a more relaxed atmosphere and better quality service. Would most definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to go explore the Great Barrier Reef.

Our family mom, dad and four teenage kids thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The ship has a limited number of guests, which made a big difference when snorkeling. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a safe, relaxed atomsphere. We didn't feel rushed when we were snorkeling. The food was excellent. And sailing back it is a sail boat was a bonus. We'd do it again.

Couldnt have asked for anything better. Great day!

Excellent but know that it is the inner reef. Saw and swam alongside a turtle which was my highlight. The food provided during the day was amazing and plentiful.

We had a great time, the crew was amazing. The food was outstanding. A bit disappointed with the snorkel area. I've done a tour before with another company and saw more vibrant fish and turtles, baby sharks. Overall it was great.

We had a great time on this tour, all the tour's we did where as small as possible. The mates where very good and fun! Very organized and went over the safety procedures with us._br/_ Enjoyed the snorkeling although the water was not to clear this particular day. Overall, a lot of fun! Good fins and snorkel's, nice skin's to wear. Good Day! _br/_ Debbi

Both of us Octogenarian. Felt a little overwhelm by the young experienced divers in our group. Yet we tried and it was quite an experience or reach the Great Barrier Reef on the small Isle where we arrived to stage our snorkeling experience. The waves were very strong with the small boat we left from Port Douglas. No matter how much ginger tablets, which didn't worked for sea sickness, I took the anti-sea sickness pills, Meclizine as soon as we were on the boat. It did helped the nausea._br/_ The small group of 21 passengers compared to the cruise ship over 100 was a relief to get the attention of the staff. Two ladies served us with great snacks and lunch. We were divided into two groups for the snorkeling experience, beginner and advance , where we were kept close to the shore and snorkeling around. The first time to snorkel wearing the flippers was very strenuous and breathing through the mouth is another challenge. Had experience diving with out the equipments and saw beautiful coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean while growing up in the Philippines. Comparing the reefs was a little disappointed to see much bleaching of the corals.We accomplished what we went for this cruise experience to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia but also tell us to be aware of the global warming, which Australia is doing a great job of doing their share of environmental protection.

Boat was beautiful and the staff very professional. Food and refreshments were very good. The Low Isles is a very busy spot and the reef not brightly coloured but we did see turtles and a white tipped shark. The staff were helpful as one of our party was a nervous novice and even he managed to snorkel on both occasions . The equipment was good quality and they made sure everyone had a chance to fit it before arriving at the snorkel sight.

We booked the Sailing and Snorkelling Tour to Low Isles. This was our first adventure when in Port Douglas and certainly one I would recommend._br/_ The crew were very customer focussed and couldn't have taken better care of everyone. They were very knowledgeable and keen to offer everyone a fantastic experience, even spending one to one time helping those who had never snorkelled before and were a bit apprehensive._br/_ The catering was first class and they didn't skimp. We had a full buffet lunch with a great choice that would suit everyone and tea with a plentiful supply of muffins, cakes and pastries._br/_ I would highly recommend the tour.

This tour was one of the best we have been on._br/_ The crew were very helpful and knowledgable and the catamaran we sailed on was only 3 years old and in superb condition, with a capacity of only about 30 guests which is good if you like a more personal trip._br/_ Very often on trips such as this the buffet lunch is a disappointment, this was certainly not the case here, with a good selection of cold meats, salads and fruit. Undoubtedly this was probably the best buffet lunch we have experienced on the many trips we have undertaken around the world._br/_ The Low Isles are a good choice if you want to sail part way to the main barrier reef._br/_ Snorkelling was good with options for experienced snorkelling or inexperienced snorkelling._br/_ A short guided walk explains the history of the island, on which there is a lighthouse on which ospreys are nesting._br/_ All things considered this trip rates as one of the best we have undertaken.

Very professional trip with great food and facilities. Unfortunately the sea was rough so visibility at the Low Isles was not the best.

A fantastic day. Beautiful boat, excellent crew and superb snorkelling and delicious food. A winning combination. We wouldn't change a thing.
Review by: Kathryn C, September 2017
So happy we went with a smaller company! Crew was amazing, boat was beautiful and only about 18 people on charter so didn't have to deal with large crowds other tours herd on their cargo loads. Beautiful lunch on board and again can't rave about crew enough. So nice, had I had more time in Port Douglas, would have booked this for a second day. Sailed home from lower island - amazing trip!!

Small group, early in the day, the only way to go. Crew so nice! We had a perfect day to snorkel - no wind, sunny, absolutely perfect weather. Lunch was good too.

There are so many travel options to view the Great Barrier Reef, but I was concerned about being with a large group of people. This was the perfect trip. We were picked up, which was lovely, and it only went up from there. The captain was wonderful, and the biologist who lead the snorkeling were knowledgeable. My 25 year-old son had a blast riding on the front of the sail boat on the way home.
