Great barrier reef snorkelling trip. - A great trip. Collected from hotel by Bri, very friendly and informative tour up to the harbour in Mission Beach (1hr45 from
cairns). Went to Dunk Island (paradise), then for two well organised snorkel sessions near to the reefs. Long day (13hrs), but well organised, friendly and experienced crew.

À great way to see more of the outer reef with a knowledgable crew. - Many thanks to all for a wonderful day of snorkelling on Sunday.
We really appreciated the friendly and helpful team who all went out of their way to ensure we were not only safe but also enjoyed ourselves. The light breakfast and then the freshly prepared wraps and tropical fruit at lunch were also much appreciated.
We felt safe in the water with members of the team regularly checking on us and it helped to be guided by a marine expert so we saw the best that the Beaver Reef had to show us. We saw different parts of the reef on the second snorkel and it was wonderful to see the wall of the reef and the various layers as we were guided along the side of the wall. It was low tide so we were very close when we swam over the reef so everything was crystal clear and saw a multitude of fish including an elusive turtle.

So very happy that we selected this particular tour! - This was by far the best snorkel trip that my husband and I went on from Cairns! We went on two others. We had the most splendid day. Captain Bri was a wealth of information on the bus ride to the dock and went out of his way to show us a part of the city that were his favorite. I was impressed to see the island Captain Cook explored, as we had a chance to view them from Dunk Island. The experience was unique in that it felt like our every concern was taken into consideration. The two young shipmates were cordial and made us feel well cared for and welcome. A stingray was sighted by my husband, and we saw a lot of beautiful parrot fish, my favourite, and incredible coral. We met very nice people on this adventure, who added to our fond memories of the day.
One thing quite troubling; I would like to contact Captain Bri as we were inadvertently reimbursed for this trip and trip advisor advised me to contact him directly. I don't have his contact information, so if someone could give him my email: [email protected] I would greatly appreciate it so that I can rectify this situation.

Dunk Island Day Trip With The BEST - Visited Dunk Island with these guys today….I cannot recommend them highly enough!!! My adult daughter and I always enjoy an island visit and decided to add on the lunch deal. Bry, Amanda and Margot delivered a delicious meal above and beyond “normal” day cruises as well as delivering service, company and information. Our day was beyond perfect despite a drizzly start. Now looking into a time we can try their multiple island adventures. Support this 100% Australian owned company as they truly do a beaut job 👏
