Reef Magic's boat is fully equipped with tea and WiFi. The staff are very nice and provide detailed explanations. It's a great experience to go hiking on the island and step on the beach.

The staff were very polite and provided clear instructions for getting on the boat, and the rented snorkeling equipment was also very clean. The water on the island is very clear. However, January is the rainy season in Cairns, so the weather is cloudy and slightly rainy, and the water visibility is less than usual. There are basic flushing facilities and restrooms on the island. For travelers who don’t have enough time to go to Dabaojiao, this island is a good choice.

The staff were very polite and gave clear instructions on how to get on the boat. It took more than two hours to get to the Jiao Temple, but the process was quite rough, so it is recommended to take dizzy pills. There are two outdoor wedding sites for you to go snorkeling or scuba diving. There are lifeguards on duty on the boat, and there are many staff at the snorkeling sites to help you feel safe. The snorkeling and scuba diving equipment is in very good condition. And the lunch food is pretty good too.

I was impressed by the crystal clear water, the likes of which I have never seen before. I could see many different kinds of fish from the glass boat, and even turtles from the pier. It was a very valuable experience. The people at Great Adventure and their service were very good, and it was an experience I would definitely like to use again.

An amazing tour. The Evolution is huge & you can sit on top at the open air deck. The view is superb. The reefs are nice with lots of colorful fishes. Even saw a turtle. Snorkel area is big and they have a staff to look over from the tour deck in case you venture out of the area. Lunch is steak, fish n prawn. Simple but delicious.
