    "Brilliant day on the reef"
    We chose this company on the recommendation of a friend who also advised us to book through VIsitor Information Bureau in the ground floor of the reef terminal. Was about $50 cheaper than elsewhere. The day started with a sail out to Michaelmas Cay and we had coffee and cake on the way. We heard an interesting presentation by a marine biologist too. Before we arrived we were provided with all the equipment and instruction we needed. On arrival at the Cay we were ferried to shore and started with a short snorkelling excursion. It was marvellous. Lots to see even from the short distance from the shore. We then went back on the ship and had lunch. Next was a trip on the semi submersible. This was fantastic. Saw loads of colourful fish and reef and even a giant turtle passed by. The staff on the sub was very informative and fun. The trip back to Cairns was relaxing and everything was catered for. First class trip.

    "An excellent cruise with snorkelling"
    What a wonderful day. We joined the cruise at Cairns quay side where there is plenty of choice of companies going to the Great Barrier Reef. We were pleased we selected this one. This cruise had about 150 people on board which, given the size of the catamaran, did not feel busy. With coffee on board as we arrived and great staff who made you felt welcome, this was a good start. We had a great experience on the two hour cruise to Michaelmas Cay and snorkelling at the Reef from a small deserted island shared with seabirds. The organisation was excellent and we had ample time to enjoy the day. Lunch was excellent consisting of choices of hot and cold food. As a bonus on our return we were escorted for a time by dolphins. This was a high quality enjoyable day out and excellent value for money,
