Had a great time sailing...

Had a great time sailing in rather rough weather. It was really good fun. The crew were great and full of fun. Snorkeling was excellent even though the conditions were a little rough. Lunch was amazing and I had a great time.

Excellent!!!

Skipper Mike was excellent as well as rest of the crew. Pickup point was easy to find and pickup and dropoff times were promptly stuck to. I would say this is an excellent value for money trip. Got to swim with sea turtles and see lots of other brightly coloured fish and coral, as well as spend some time on Green Island. Lunch was great and lots of snacks provided throughout the day. Nothing could've been better. Book now if you want a great day out!

Swim with sharks

Christ, Pascal and Doren are super friendly and professional. They take care of our everything and provide enough food for us. The view undersea is spectacular with fishes, sharks, tortoises, and coral in the great barrier reef. Last but not the least, all the group mates are also very friendly and we chat a lot during the whole trip. Will surely recommend it. Sally
