Unforgettable Great Barrier Reef Scuba & Daintree Rainforest Wildlife Adventure! - My wife and I had an fantastic A+++ two-day charter with Blue Dive out of Port Douglas. Day 1: Great Barrier Reef Scuba Diving From the moment we boarded the dive boat, everything was seamless and professional. The dive sites were breathtaking—crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral gardens, and an abundance of marine life. A fantastic lunch was provided and the crew took excellent care of us throughout. My wife is not yet certified so our dive instructor, Gus stayed close at all times keeping her safe and confident for an unforgettable scuba experience. Day 2: Daintree Rainforest Wildlife Tour The rainforest was an amazing contrast to the reef. Our guide, Mark, was phenomenal—knowledgeable, friendly and very skilled leading us through the day! Thanks to his keen eye, we spotted duck-billed platypuses, kangaroos, wallabies, spectacled fruit bats and even stopped to visit a koala at Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas. Mark captured everything with professional level photos which he provided no extra charge the following day. This tour was the perfect blend of adventure, nature, and relaxation. I can’t recommend Blue Dive Adventures enough.

- The menu made me select Blue Dive - Cairns but I think it was Blue Dive - Port Douglas. They were so great, from the guy I talked to on the phone who was willing to call me on WhatsApp because I don't have Australian cell service to the instructor who literally held our hands through the scuba trip (Jason). It was so much fun, and the Quicksilver boat we were on was also great.. they gave us snacks and a hot lunch!

Great barrier reef adventure Port Douglas - We had an amazing day with Jess and the crew. We did some amazing scuba diving and then some snorkel in the outer reefs. We really recommend it and we hope to go again soon!

Amazing Dive - We dove with Jess from Blue Dive on two consecutive days and it was a fantastic experience. Jess was very attentive and ensured we were well looked after. The diving was simply incredible and the best part about getting a private guided dive was staying away from the crowds and seeing some incredible hidden treasures that Jess uncovered for us. Also loved all the photos and videos she took of us.

Amazing day of diving! - Jess was awesome! We had a spectacular day doing three dives on the reef. She made us feel comfortable and ready to explore from the minute we met her. It was seamless from start to finish. Particularly enjoyed her video skills with all the photos she took for us. We would do this again!

Jess is an amazing dive guide! - Jess was an amazing dive guide, very friendly and informative, my husband and I hadn’t dove in a couple years and she made sure to review equipment and hand signals with us. She also takes great photos and videos of us and the reef life during the dive! Photos and videos are included in the private dive package no extra fees. We were able to dive in three different reef areas.

Excellent private guide dive with Jamie - My husband and I recently did our Open Water Certification, but prefer to go with a guide until we have many more dives under our belts. Jamie was the perfect diving guide. He was patient, very personable, gave us plenty of useful tips for new divers and showed us some amazing sights. Highly recommend.
