Great holiday, lovely reef tours

The crews are really helpful and response to every request. There are prescription glasses and life jackey available for non-swimmers. And yes, I still enjoy the reef tour even if I cannot swim. Beautiful sight seeing as well

Wonderful day

Loved our snorkel trip. Staff was friendly and competent. Good communication about safety. Equipment supplied decent. Two of the 3 locations great for snorkeling but the third more for the divers. The marine biologist was very informative. Lunch and snacks well done. Would definitely recommend. My only comment is that it was supposed to be only snorkeling but I assume due to small numbers was combined with divers.

Excellent trip

We had a great day with Calypso. The staff were wonderful and we visited three great snorkelling sites. The food was fine and there was plenty of it. The boat had lots of room and there was a range of seating options. Highly recommended.
