First snorkel - We had a great first time snorkeling! We took a boat ride a little over an hour. We snorkeled for an hour and switched groups. Then headed back. The staff was very professional giving the instructions and information. Great music on the boat too. If you are motion sickness, I’d take something before because it was rocky out there on the boat. When snorkeling it was fine.

Family time at the Great Barrier Reef - We had a fantastic day with Lily and Link snorkeling the reef. Their sunny personalities made the experience even more fun! The 4 hour tour was just the right length, the boat ride was fun, and the sites on the reef were spectacular. I appreciated the pictures on their Facebook page also. Thanks for a great day!

We had an incredible time... - We had an incredible time with Reef Adventures today! The crew were super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. The snorkeling was absolutely beautiful – crystal clear water, colourful coral, and so many fish. Everything was really well organised from start to finish. A must-do if you’re visiting Port Douglas!

Snorkelling Barrier Reef Cairns.. - Great experience for the price. Professional crew who managed our 8am experience today. Before we started they did all the paperwork. In the boat they did all the safety. Took about 50 minutes to get there. Great 1.5 hour reef snorkelling. Saw turtle, stingray, numerous colourful fish and coral. Would definitely recommend..

Professional Skipper and Instructors! - Very professional instructors and skipper. Such maturity for young people. Small group with expert instruction and guidance. If you only want to snorkel (no dining) then this is what your after. Well done guys.

Amazing crew - If you want family friendly fun and not to be taken on a ride, this is a place. Family own business.

Passion for the Reef and people - The Reef Adventures team brought enthusiasm and a welcoming spirit to our half day tour of the reef. The hosts are young, friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkeling gear that was provided was great. We saw some terrific things and the guides shared excellent information insights about the reef and its wildlife. A fantastic thing to do!
