Outer barrier reef
Fantastic crew and a smaller tour of about 20 so no crowds and plenty of time to snorkel in peace and we weren't on top of each other. Lunch was simple but delicious. Equipment was good. Highly recommended

Not a great experience
We've upgraded the trip to add one dive. I wish we wouldn't have done it! The crew seem all nice, but when we did the day out the boat was overly full and it seemed like they did not have enough staff on board. The equipment dive equipment provided was not great. I had bubbles coming out of my BC. Would not recommend it!

Ok but I wouldn't go again
The Boat and the gear is ok. The guys working are nice. We had a lot of non swimmers on the boat so one person was with them the whole time in the water. Sometimes it is also nice if the person knowing the area can point out stuff. But that did not happen. The first snorkeling spot was nice the second one 5 min in the other direction was so not worth it.There was literally everything but no fish! Think we missed out here big time I had the feeling they downgraded the tour and where a bit unmotivated.
