5Great day. Was...
Great day. Was well.organised. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was lovely and plentiful. I would recommend this trip to friends and family.
5Fantastic
Loved this experience. Kudos to Lauren who helped ease my fear of the water to experience the GBR. The only thing I would fault is it would have been good to have commentary about the reef during the tour. Overall, a great trip
5Great family day out
I was trying to decide between this and the Wayfarer Low Isles trip which was a little cheaper. the Wayfarer company told me there were 390 booked on their reef trip and 95 on the islands trip! So glad we went for this instead, there were maybe about 30 people and the yacht is huge. The boat was pristine clean and all the equipment was too, including the wetsuits they offered. They had pool noodles as an option for adults or kids who can swim but may get tired after an hour or so. The snorkelling sites we visited were fantastic and we had loads of time at each one. My kids loved the marine biologist talk and I really appreciated the time Freya took with my 13 year old autistic son to take him out on a little marine life treasure hunt, she and the other lady on the trip were really kind and good with all the kids. Food was good for hungry families and great to have hot drinks as you do get cold being in the water so long. Boat ride back was bliss just stretched out in the sun on the deck. Totally recommend paying the $100 extra or whatever it is for a small group experience, loved it.

About Port Douglas
Port Douglas is a relaxed seaside town on Queensland's tropical coast, set between the Daintree rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.
Port Douglas began as a gold-rush port in the 1870s and is now an easygoing resort town on a spit of land between the Coral Sea and Dickson Inlet. Four Mile Beach curves away to the north fringed with palms, Macrossan Street holds the cafés and restaurants, and Flagstaff Hill gives a view over the beach and the mountains behind. A small white chapel, St Mary's by the Sea, stands beside the park at the water's edge.
Top-ranked sights in Port Douglas: Mossman Gorge, Daintree Rainforest, Agincourt Reefs.
