54321 We were a family group of five adults. We all had a great time. The food was really good and we had plenty of time in the water. I recommend lots of layers when snorkelling as the water isn’t the warmest yet this time of year. The dive was great for all of us we had rookies to experienced divers we all all enjoyed it and felt very safe. The weather was on our side too. It was a great day all round. Comfortable journey good food. Great fish and all the staff were all attentive, happy and very keen to assist us to have a nice day.

54321 An amazing day we were so looked after by Michael he was very thoughtful and as a first time diver he looked after my safety through the dive. All the staff were attentive to all the passengers particularly those that got sea sickness. I couldn’t recommend the VIP tour enough we really had the best day ever. Thanks to Michael and the team.

54321 The experience was really great. Our guide for the VIP package was very friendly and guided us on two dives and the snorcheling where we could see a lot and take our time (saw more than in the Sydney Awuarium 😉 ). We were lucky to chose that package since the main deck was full of people who could hardly swimm and we could alwas get in the water before and in a calm place. The food served was surprisingly good and also healthy! Don’t eat breakfast before you’ll get a lot of great food for free with this package. Take some pills againgt see sicknes before the trip starts (which we did) and you’ll get a great day. The second dive costs something but is worth it since you’ll be much more relaxed than on the first one if you are not experienced. Really a tour to recommend!

54321 We were going to book the Experience tour without the VIP but we’re glad we did as we got our own space to enjoy if we wanted to get away from the others on tour. As a couple this works out really well. We did the diving and loved it – it was my first time. I was scared at first but the instuctor was patient and understanding. The glass bottom boat tour was a good alternative – I found this more relaxing! Thanks everyone 🙂
