We absolutely loved this excursion. Some of the 10 people in our group weren’t going to snorkel, but the kindness and careful attention they received from the crew made them comfortable enough to get into the water. They were so excited. I’m a T1 Diabetic who just got his dive certification this summer. Levi was a wonderful guide on both dives (which were fantastic) and made me feel like I belonged. Simon worked tirelessly with another member of our group to make sure she got the most out of the trip. One of our 10 did get seasick so make sure you take dramamine. The lunch was delicious and plentiful. I paid $25AUS for one picture at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It was a bargain. Highly recommend Passions of Paradise.

Really enjoyed my day. Staff all very friendly. Plenty of seating available. Great snorkel locations, thought it was great how there were staff in the water who were giving snorkel tours and helping those less experienced. Never felt rushed etc at each location.

The day was really well organised, the crew was amazing! Food they put on for lunch was so nice! We were running late and they waited for us, couldn’t ask for much more!

I couldn’t have completed my dream without Simon and his crew! The sea was rough, the weather was bumpy, and I was scared for life! As a non-swimmer, I still pursued my dream of seeing the Great Barrier Reef for my birthday, but when we reached there, I just couldn’t do it. It was only because of Simon my dream of experiencing the reef came true! And boy, it was the best day of my life!! He never gave up, was patient and made sure I saw what I came for 😊 Everything else was just perfect, right from food, fresh fruits, tea and snacks to the amazing presentation by their very own marine biological! Highly recommend Passion of Paradise! They are a bunch of legends 👏🏽

Went to 2 different parts of the reef. Equipment was nice quality and the boat very comfortable. All staff on board were amazing and really put in a lot of effort to ensure everyone was having a good time.
