Amazing experience - do it! Best activity over the course of our 21-day vacation in Australia/New Zealand. They had so many ways to experience the Reef, plus they fed us lunch.

Really great tour. The conditions on the day were rough, so I recommend taking seasick tablets if you get motion sickness. However the crew were so attentive. I cannot fault the effort they put in to ensure everyone was safe and comfortable at all times. Food for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea was great and plenty of it. The only feedback I would provide is for the semi-submersible a microphone would be helpful or alternate walking around front to back as we were in the rear and unfortunately couldn't hear anything.

Tour was well-run and organized. The crew was great, particulalry Brandon, the dive guide. The ride out and back to the platform was on a high speed catamaran which had good amenities and an air conditioned cabin. The water was a little choppy on the way out and a few people got seasick. It was a bit crazy once we docked the boat and got to the platform…the first divers went right out and the people snorkeling were jostling to find stinger suits, fins and snorkels that fit and then they were piling into the water. It seemed like there were about 100 people on the platform on that day. It started to rain on the way out and the water at the platform was pretty choppy, so I opted not to snorkel and instead enjoyed the semi-submersible sub ride (very good with a marine biologist onboard to answer questions), as well as the underwater observatory. Lunch was being served onboard the boat as well during this time. My husband really enjoyed his dive and before we knew it the 3 hrs. at the platform was over and it was time to come back. My husband noted that the process in and out of the water for his dive was a bit of an assembly line, so it felt like they were trying to get through as many divers as possible. I would also say it comes across as a very commercial operation with them trying to sell drinks and expensive photos that were posed for extra fees. But overall it was a nice day and an interesting experience

This tour is way oversold for the amount of space you get a the reef. There is a very restricted area in which to snorkel and with the number of people they’ve allowed it’s very difficult to see anything. The reef was also underwhelming- probably over toured. A few days later we toured Whitehaven with a very small operator and saw healthy, beautiful coral and fish. But my biggest complaint is that these guys NEVER stop trying to sell you add-ons and options, nickel and diming your wallet and patience. Additionally your basically a taxi for people going to different places so it takes forever to get out and back. Go with a small operator
