Fabulous day
From beginning to end the trip couldn't have been better. The crew were friendly and very accommodating above and beyond. Their passion about the reef and the areas history was so clearly genuine and evident in the way they shared. Fabulous day on the island and the reef was spectacular.

Best day ever snorkelling
Great location to snorkel. Staff very helpful. Only issue we had was the food. Need more variety especially options for children. Or food to buy as extra on board. Captain very friendly and involved in the day.
