Absolutely perfect - Brand new boat with brand new equipment. Very knowledgeable crew takes you to a pristine reef. What could be better? OK, how about the snacks provided after snorkeling and the fun atmosphere on the ride back. I highly recommend this trip.

Bucket List Experience - Beautiful new boat; everything is immaculate; just a great staff. Snorkel with them and you will learn so much about what you are seeing on the reef 🪸. 1/2 day is plenty as you get out to reef in an hour on the speedboat.

Highly Recommended Pure Snorkelling - We did a half day tour with the amazing crew on the Pure Snorkelling boat out to Briggs reef. The crew were knowledgeable about their boat, the barrier reef, snorkelling and diving. It was our kids first time out to the reef and the crew, the weather and the reef did not disappoint. We had the most amazing and memorable day thanks to fantastic crew both on land from our booking experience to our water experience from the moment we boarded their clean and well stocked boat. Thank you, I highly recommend the amazing Pure Snorkelling Team for an experience of a lifetime on the Great Barrier Reef!

Great day on the reef - The half day snorkelling tour was amazing from start to finish. The crew took the time with each group to make sure we were prepared and answered any questions that we had. After the snorkelling they checked back in to make sure all of our questions about the reef were answered. The reef spot is amazing but it really is the crew that made the tour so amazing, thank you Michelle, Kiki, Nicole, and Byron for such an awesome day on the reef.

Stunning new Boat, exclusive reef access at Briggs reef, passionate Marine biologist staff - Absolutely stunning new boat, and they have exclusive reef access at Briggs reef - where you will see some of the best coral and reef life as well as a blue hole - all to yourself! Boat only has 50 person capacity - so you will have unparalleled personal service, as well as extremely knowledgeable and passionate Marine Biologist hosts who will take you out on an adventure you wont forget. Loved every minute of it. Cant recommend enough - thanks guys at Pure Snorkeling!

What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon! - We jetted out from Cairns to the outer reef, first snorkel tour was breath taking! Coral as far as the eye could see, so so stunning! The second tour did not disappoint… an abundance of underwater life turning it on .. just wow. Knowledgeable and caring crew, shout out to Michelle and Kiki for a fabulous day. ♥️ Yum snacks on the way home… back in time for happy hour 😁

perfect start into the reef - Ideal for making the most of your first day in Cairns right after your morning arrival, or if you're having an easy start into your day while still enjoying some exciting snorkeling alongside the marine life of the reef. Experience: Setting sail from the harbor, this tour takes you to a secluded part of the reef where you can snorkel extensively with a friendly and educated instructor. On the return journey, enjoy some snacks and enjoy the sun aboard. The ship is also brand new and has a few nice touches perfect for being a snorkeling boat (my trip was their second commercial). For me, it was a fantastic start in Cairns, with a stunning scenery of the reef and a lot of learnings.
