Fantastic trip!

Published on Feb, 2025

Great trip .. saw so many fishies, turtles and stingray.. Rian and Brandon were great hosts and knew all the great places to go.

Magical

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing experience. Walking through the mangroves, on to the beach and directly on to the boat was simply magical! The crew were fun, and the pumping tunes on the boat speeding out to the reef really revved up the excitement. We had perfect snorkelling conditions and swimming with the turtles was something we will never forget. A wonderful experience, and a great cafe for lunch after. Would highly recommend

DO IT!

Excellent snorkelling adventure

Published on Jan, 2025

My wife and I really enjoyed the whole trip. The team were really helpful and knowledgeable. It was a short and fun boat ride to the reef and we had 2 hours of memorable snorkelling. Turtles, rays, clown fish and so much more. Would absolutely recommend. Small group and great value.

Great experience, I would highly recommend it

Published on Nov, 2024

This trip was absolutely stunning. The reef was very much alive with a huge variety of coral and reef fish to see. The crew , Max and Brendon, was very knowledgable, explaining everything from coral growth to geological formations. They were helpful, friendly and easy going. They took photos which we can upload, guided us through the water and on the cay island. The booking was easy and straight forward, the staff was friendly and efficient. All up it was a great experience and I can highly recommend it Thank you team
