“A very well-planned trip. The two snorkeling lounges on the Saxon reef and the Hastings reef had fish and lots of corals to view and the guide option made it easier for the weak swimmers to see the best value. Lunch was excellent, with plenty of food and good choices. We recommend this exit. So everything is really amazing! one of the best experiences of my life! Hopefully I‚Äôll be back again to find it again! very good! Don't miss out! Highly recommended!”

“My wife and I have booked this ship under the hood because of their boats and because I am constantly suffering from seasickness. Although it is one of the largest and most stable boats, I have been sick at sea. So strong pills are recommended to fight seasickness. small boats would make my trip even worse. The boat was operating at almost a large volume (considering the limitations from Covid). So this ship is a famous ship. The staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. (5 employee stars) Boat and boat facilities themselves are good (5 star) The food was good. (3.5-4 star) We set 2 dive entries each (so I can dive with my wife) and have a guaranteed dive as I am a certified dive. Guaranteed diving was good. (approximately 50 minutes) Introduction immersion can be improved. It was only about 20-25 minutes in the first draw. The second dive was a little longer (about 30mins). Time was probably restricted due to the number of driving entro instructors had to sit. But I feel like there should be more teachers to embrace that much collapse. The weather that day was bad (it was cloudy, rainy). So I was very disappointed in what we saw underwater. It would be different on a sunny day. I would highly recommend this if you get the chance as you can be taught what to look for or different types of fish without having to make this trip. It would be nice to have brochures or a small slide show on the boat while you visit these two places about identifying various fish and corals.”

“We had a wonderful day on this trip. The staff / company had planned everything in the right way, as some commentators said it worked like an oil-filled machine. Thank you Down Under Cruise & Dive for making this day the highlight of our trip to Far North Queensland.”

“Good day outside. The staff who had Down under cruise and dive were friendly and seated. It was the first time for me to take skiing but they were always relaxed as the crew were friendly. Highly recommend this trip. They are not limited to booking and you will definitely not be hungry as morning and afternoon are served, as well as a free glass of wine!”

“We are a Brady Bunch family of 9 with happy twins who are 10 to 23 years cold and this trip has benefited us all. The staff were very friendly and honest in their dealings with everyone and certainly made the situation a pleasant one. They were happy to meet my food needs and were very friendly. Can't recommend enough.”

“First time diving on the Great barrier reef My wife and I booked the ship underwater because of their boats and because I was often sick with seasickness. Although it was one of the largest and most stable boats, I was sick at sea. Strong anti-marine drugs are therefore recommended. I was very happy with my choice as any small boats would make my trip even worse. The boat was operating at almost a large volume (considering the limitations from Covid). So this ship is a famous ship. The staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. (5 employee stars) Boat and boat facilities themselves are good (5 star) The food was good.

The weather that day was bad (it was cloudy, rainy). So I was very disappointed in what we saw underwater. It would be different on a sunny day. All in all, we are very happy with all the boating facilities (especially the crew). The only improvement I can make is in the diving work of the intro dive. I can‚Äôt comment on the selected area of the rivers as I have not made other dives on the Great Barrier reef to compare and the weather has not been clear. Thank you Down Under Cruise & Dive for making this day the highlight of our trip to Far North Queensland. It's really amazing !!!!”

“Good service from everyone and not just certain staff members. They are looking forward to having fun and the best boat ever built with their power to keep us clean all day long. All the equipment provided was in good condition and although we were disturbed by the weather, the facilities were good. The photographer does a great job of capturing everyone in his or her time. The ship's crew was so friendly and encouraging! It really is worth every penny.”

“We continued this journey in January 2021! Booking was easy, check to set the mood of the day. Greetings to Eddie a happy bucket cracking jokes the minute he enters. All employees are presented with new, professional uniforms, showing pride in their work. Aaron took us through a complete and instructive forum as he walked to the first sea. We took our own snorkel (COVID safety), but we used lycra suits and wings on board. All equipment looks well maintained and clean. Boat, OMG boat !! Now thanks to the big boats - Evolution is a great big open ship with great resources. The BBQ lunch was professionally cooked (Mike ??) with amazing options to choose from and it was plentiful. The two coral reefs were magnificent, providing plenty of marine resources and ample exploration. We saw tortoises, coral sharks and lots of fish and corals. Traveling with two children 11 & 13 we always feel completely safe with strict adherence to protocols, but not excessive. Abigail and Julia helped us by shopping on board. Excellent experience. RECOMMENDED. We took another trip with another operator and found Down Under very high in service, boat cleanliness and professionalism. Thank you. This is my fifth time making this rock trip with the boys. I can't beat them.”
