Dreams came true and are now unforgettable memories!

Published on Nov, 2024

Absolutely fantastic trip. Everything about the journey far exceeded my expectations. Anguilla and her team were professional, courteous, and helpful with everything concerning this trip. Definitely a bucket of fun and forever memories.

What an awesome tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We booked this tour last minute as an opportunity to see the Great Barrier Reef from Townsville. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, friendly, and never took their eyes off us to make sure we were safe in the water and on board. The staffing ratios to swimmers was great - there was always a guide or lifesaver almost within arm's reach for attention when required. They catered to our specific accessibility needs, were encouraging, and helpful to talk to when looking at the reef. The food was hearty and the snorkel gear was being sanitised as we went, which was reassuring. If you didn't want to swim, that was fine too. The staff even helped look after a younger passenger to give the mum and dad and opportunity to see the reef. We were really impressed with the whole trip and would definitely recommend to anyone considering booking.

Beautiful snorkling on the reef and seeing MOUA. Friendly, fun trip

Published on Aug, 2024

Excellent day of snorkling on the Great Barrier Reef. Easy to find meeting spot, 2.5 hour trip out to the reef including stops to see whales and dolphins en route. Snacks provided at appropriate times - fresh fruit and biscuits AM & PM teas, and lunch (dyi sandwiches- provided) between the two bouts of snorkling. Loved the MOUA installations. The day was so beautiful with still calm waters and high clarity. Knowledgeable and friendly staff on board. We were very lucky to get a cancellation at the last minute as we hadn’t booked ahead. Highly recommend

Fun day

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a fun day. The reef is beautiful. The crew were great, professional, competent and friendly. Lunch, morning and afternoon tea very good. Plenty of time to snorkel. It was pretty cold on 27 July and not everyone did the second snorkel.

One of the best experiences ever!

Published on Jun, 2024

Top ten experiences of my entire life. Our family went with the amazing SeaLink crew to the reef and got to experience MOUA! The crew were exceptional, the reef was spectacular and so close! We were lucky enough to go on World Ocean day, we were in the company of legends who were so passionate and willing to share their time and knowledge. Absolute highlight of our lives!
