Reviews: Cairns Half Day Tour a Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling Experience
Guest User2026-01-26
I enjoyed the excursion. Everything was well organized, and the crew was attentive. It's an hour's drive to the site, 1.5-2 hours snorkeling, and an hour back. The boat is small and fast. They provide masks, fins, and a swimsuit to protect against jellyfish.★

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Full Day Tour from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-15
Wife enjoyed the snorkling on the reef .It was her first time. I've done this before ,and in New Caledonia, and Samoa. I think the company could offer a reduced cost for passanger only accompanying a diver as wife wouldn't go by herself . And as couple not both partners want to dive.
