There was a lot of tours to choose from and we could not be happier that we chose Ocean Spirit! What an amazing experience! The trip in and out to the Cay was a delight even if rough conditions! The staff are lovely, down to earth people who really seem to know what they are doing! The catering was nice too. The best part was the sense of freedom, you are informed and guided by the staff but they aren't holding your hand and being overbearing. The most important part was the dive on the reef of course, good quality gear and instructions and just a breath-taking snorkel, something we won't forget and will definitely do again with the Ocean Spirit if back in Cairns! Keep up the amazing work!

Great day out! Really amazing place and some great snorkelling. Got to see 5 turtles! Is a bit of a long journey to and from the area, around 2 hours each way. But overall would 100% recommend this trip :)

Booked solo, left sunburnt and smiling. Reef was stunning, people were friendly, and the crew knew their stuff. No regrets

So worth it. Snorkeled with turtles and didn’t even get seasick (miracle lol). Staff were legends, lunch was solid. Do it if you’re in Cairns!

Laid-back reef day with great crew. The catamaran is super comfy and the marine life was next level. Loved the glass of bubbly on the way back

Did this for my last day in Cairns and wow—snorkeling off Michaelmas Cay is unreal. Clear water, chill crew, free wine at the end? Yes please.

If you're looking for a relaxed day on the reef, this is it. The semi-submarine tour was a cool way to see the coral without getting wet. Snorkeling was easy, even for beginners, and the staff made sure everyone felt safe. Loved lounging on the beach at Michaelmas Cay—felt like a private island. Highly recommend!
