“Hands-down the best day I’ve had on the reef! The high-performance catamaran was smooth, the crew were full of energy, and the guided snorkel let me spot a green turtle plus a giant Māori wrasse. The fresh buffet lunch and chill-out nets on the bow were icing on the cake.”
“Had an amazing day with Passions of Paradise. The catamaran was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were knowledgeable and helpful. We visited two different reef sites, each offering unique marine life and coral formations. The guided snorkel tour was informative and fun. Only downside was that the day went by too quickly!”
“This was a highlight of our family trip! The staff were great with the kids, especially during the snorkeling lessons. Our son was a bit hesitant, but thanks to instructor Jake's patience, he ended up loving it. The reef was stunning, and we saw a variety of marine life. The boat was comfortable, and the lunch exceeded our expectations. A memorable day for the whole family!”
“Had an epic day out with Passions of Paradise! I was traveling solo and honestly a little nervous about snorkeling alone, but the crew made it super chill and welcoming. Big shoutout to Sam, our guide, who was hilarious and kept everyone feeling safe in the water. The reef stops were unreal — colorful corals, tons of fish, even spotted a turtle . Only thing is, the boat ride back was a bit rough (bring seasickness tablets just in case), but it’s totally worth it for the experience. 10/10 would recommend if you want a fun, laid-back reef trip without the big crowds!”
“The reef lived up to the hype. Snorkeling at both sites was incredible, with vibrant corals and so much marine life. The boat ride itself was super chill, and the crew made everyone feel at home. Reserving my spot was simple, and this trip left me feeling so lucky to have seen this natural wonder.”
“I’ve done a few reef tours before, but Passions of Paradise really stood out. The smaller group size made it feel personal, and the snorkeling spots were stunning—probably the best visibility I’ve ever had. Getting the booking sorted was a breeze, no back-and-forth nonsense. By the end of the day, I didn’t want to leave the water or the crew’s amazing hospitality.”
“The Passions of Paradise reef tour was amazing! Snorkeling alongside turtles and schools of fish was like stepping into another world. The reef spots they took us to were so vibrant, and the guides were super passionate about the marine life. Lunch on board was fresh and delicious—way better than I expected. I booked this with Backpacker Deals, and they made it so easy to set everything up. If you’re in Cairns, this is one adventure you don’t want to miss!”
