“This was an great experience. All the staff are really friendly and professional and the day runs like a well oiled machine. I especially really loved the small group snorkelling experience with Phillip the crew marine biologist. Not to mention the amazing lunch and drinks provided. I would 100% recommend everyone booking your tour of the beautiful reef with these guys!!”
“A wonderful day, and the highlight of our holiday !! Phil took our family on a Marine Biology tour that was very instructive and rewarding, presented some interesting facts and sank down to show interesting points.
This group / staff has a very good format, which makes it very comfortable and easy for their guests.
Thank you so much Amazing experience !!!”
“The aspect of climate change needs to increase. We were told that if we did not ride, we would lose our deposit. High winds, half of the passengers pouring in, selling snorker to the very poor and workers pretending to be all right. Very bad experience and would not be recommended.”
“Had my 1st Dive at the great barrier reef.
Crew was competent and really good.
But the highlight was that dive and the extremely knowledgeable and helpful dive Instructor, Dave. His introduction was also quite funny in a way.
Just a fantastic tour, food was great, team was amazing, Just do it and book it, you wont regret it.”
“A must do day trip for everyone when in Cairns. Amazing experience, so well run. The crew onboard who were really friendly and could not have been more encouraging! Definitely worth it.The boat is comfortable enough with many areas to chill out. They thoughtfully have sea sick tablets in hand for purchase. I would do this trip one more time with Down Under.”
“Delightful coral reefs! The staff were very helpful and friendly. I read the reviews before boarding. Some reviews say that the boat is not doing well in the coral reef. That is not true. Also,
This is a very managing company. I think they are doing the real thing they can do on this reef.
The only thing I wanted to draw attention to was: there was a big wind when the boat was driving. Please hold any of your personal belongings and secure them with trash. I actually grabbed an empty water bottle on the second deck. I believe that was not the person who deliberately threw it anywhere. It would be just wind. But suppose that from time to time a person experiences something that has fallen into the sea because of their careful listening.
Thank you to all the team members for your great work too !! I can‚Äôt recommend these people enough!”
“This has been a very effective and efficient staff with friendly staff. Recommend young people to use snorkel but for those with more experience you may find it very difficult. The food was good but it would recommend giving it a soft free drink too. Another suggestion would be to do more education on the rocks and how everyone can get involved in conservation efforts. They spend a lot of time trying to sell but which attracts a lot of trench and they have to work a little harder to educate about the effects of human activities on coral death. All in all a good day but I definitely felt like a cow unlike the little work I have been doing in Hawaii.”
“A great day on the reef with a really caring team who are knowledgeable , organized and focused on being safe and ensuring you're having fun. We swam with a turtle and got to see many variety of tropical fish. I recommend this day trip (arrive at the terminal by 715am to check in) and return to the wharf in Cairns by 4pm.Staff were friendly enough , funny and really helpful!!! Great cruise for locals and visitors who would like an opportunity to spy turtles, large fish and some jellies! Definitely great value for your money.”
