A beautiful day on the water on a ship. A wonderful and safe snorkelling experience.

An engaging and professional staff. They made every effort to make us feel safe, whilst being fun and making the day most enjoyable. The snorkelling experience was sensational. The staff made sure we were safe and were very accomodating for non confident swimmers. It was great to see the variety of fish, turtles and sharks. Good quality lunch included. It was wonderful to sail back into Cairns by wind power. Highly recommended.
