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: Full-Day Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling from Hamilton Island
Guest User2025-09-02
Had a fantastic day ,very lucky with weather very smooth trip no wind ,you do 2 snorkel sessions of 1 hour each,the crew were very good and helpful, would definitely go again. We did the other day trip the day after this to Whitehaven beach including the snorkelling experience combined and due to the windy conditions the trip that day was cancelled to the barrier reef and the people from there then joined our excursion. So weather permitting this is a fantastic excursion.
