It was a bit expensive, but I think it was worth it! I was unlucky and didn't see the fish I wanted to see, but the coral reef itself was beautiful, so I think I was satisfied. The diving was explained in an easy-to-understand way for beginners, which was nice. It was a little scary at first, but it's an experience you should try at least once. The staff were all friendly and passionate about their work, so I was able to have an overall satisfactory tour. If you get motion sickness easily, bring two motion sickness pills. ㅋㅋㅜㅜ

A very good experience, signed up for snorkeling and helicopter, the weather was very good that day, everything was perfect! The buffet was also good, and the staff on the boat were very friendly.

Personally, I liked scuba diving the best! After the first scuba dive, you can enjoy additional scuba diving at the second point for an additional $65. The helicopter was also good for seeing the scenery, but it felt a little short. Still, it was a good memory~

It was a very valuable experience! Before boarding the helicopter, we were allowed to take a photo with the helicopter, and we could drink freely before the helicopter appeared! It was the best memory in Australia. They couldn't speak English, but they were very kind to me!

Sometimes tours are so exhausting because of the set times being less than an hour. The spreads not being great and hidden charges, this was really point blank, while allowing us to enjoy and sovereign over our down time. The only extra charge might be on the island itself for the Locker which was 9 dollars other wise everything is taken care of, would absolutely recommend this.

The snorkeling adventure with Down Under Cruise & Dive was superb! With 118 fellow travelers in tow, we set off to explore two reef locations on 5 Dec 2024. My sis and I are not a good swimmer, the trained staff provided one to one or one to two service to bring us to see the reefs and fishes. The sea was quite rough on that day, the friendly and humorous staff gave timely reminder for passengers to take the sea-sick pills and they were attentive at all times, good job! And that BBQ lunch, with salad, prawns, grilled fish and beef steaks were the perfect refuel. Enjoyed a glass of red wine with cheese and crackers when returning to the reef fleet terminal. Highly recommended tour!

Itinerary redemption is easy at the port counter, and the staff on the yacht are warm and considerate. Snorkeling and swimming among the rich coral colonies and underwater life, the trip to the Great Barrier Reef is worth it.
