Best Barrier Reef daytrip

I did another reef daytrip via bookme which was slightly cheaper but in comparison this trip with Divers Den was just better all round. The staff were great, the boat and equipment were better and the reef sites visited were amazing. Would highly recommend tbis

Great experience!!!!

Great experience!!! The crew was really nice, and the experience offered was incredible. We book the trip the day before, and we had no problem with the confirmation email. The boat offered all the stuff needed for snorkeling and also coffee and meal was offered the entire day. Good experience!
