Skipper & crew were the... - Skipper & crew were the best, they had a lot of information about the reefs. Get the float vest at the start before leaving the dock. Even if your a good swimmer this makes floating around the reefs so much easier. We didn't regret paying for this experience.

Brilliant !!! - Perfect day !!!! This trip was exceptional - reef was beautiful, conditions exceptional… and staff were just brilliant - massive thanks to Reece, Micca, Jamie and Jade (?) all were so lovely. Jade - so sorry if I’ve got the wrong name - was so gracious with her time sharing cool facts and info ! I did see the sleeping giant :) and the day was one we will never forget. And enjoyed the turtles and exceptional reef.

Great experience to see the Great Barrier Reef! - Was a great experience. The crew are lovely, so friendly and looked after us really well. Because of tides we could only do one snorkel on the outer reef but went to a fringing reef near an island full of fish! Very professional and good at adapting!

Loads of snorkelling time! - Great day out, family of 4. Both girls aged 9 and 14 loved it. The crew, Reece, Jo, Jaime and Kurt were loads of fun, super experienced, helpful, safety conscious and friendly - lots of banter and laughs. Food was lovely, equipment clean and in good order. Coral was amazing, healthy and loads of life! Best we’ve seen (been snorkelling in various locations in Oz and internationally). Would highly recommend for a great day out if snorkelling is your thing! Thanks crew

High recommend, amazing tour guides, Great knowledge and full of energy! - Incredible tour with Red Cap, tour guides KP and Sav, they were so fun and made the experience worth every minute. So fun and full of energy, made the trip worth every penny. I was a solo traveller and they looked after me, had an amazing boat ride and snorkelling experience, great knowledge of the islands and sealife. Highly recommend and can only wish you have KP and Sav on your tour!

Simply The Best!!!! - Firstly, the crew were absolutely super chill, heaps of fun, very easy to engage with making the whole experience that more memorable. Thoroughly enjoyed the all-inclusive experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about doing it - actually don't think just "DO" The snorkelling at the Reef was incredible, the underwater world of the reef was STUNNING!!!! I didn't want to leave. The lunch and snacks were yummy and the music was cool too, just what you needed to get you in the mood to enjoy the ride on the Cat. Would definitely do it again when back in Mackay.

Rhys and Kurt absolute stand out hosts on our awesome day out! - We have just returned from the Outer Reef snorkel tour. We were picked up from Hayman Island on their way from Airlie Beach. The entire day was a 5 star experience from beginning to end. Rhys, Kurt, Nat and Jamie went out of their way to make sure we had the best time. Safety was their top priority and every step of the way everything was explained clearly with options for languages other than English. We did 3 snorkels and all were managed with professionalism and fun. The food as delicious with salads galore and brownies and fruit offered for morning and afternoon tea. The customer service offered by this team was exceptional. I hope their manager sees this - you have some great employees on your hand. Special mention to the highly personable and fun Rhys and Kurt. Well done guys 🙌🏻
