i have been to the reef a few times now. this tour is far far more worth it than the cheaper options of going to the islands. the crew was also amazing
We had a great day! We started on time, and we were only a group of twelve. We made two stops for Snorkeling and saw a sea turtle, reef sharks, and many other nice things! We had enough time to explore the reef :) lunch and other food was great and crew was awesome! Thanks guys :)
This is the trip you need to go on. Entertaining lovely crew, fabulous snorkeling spots. Lovely fulling lunch, even wine crackers, cheese and fruit served on way back A++++ SAW REEF SHARKS, MANTA RAY, TURTLE, GIGNORMOUS CLAMS, CORAL, FISH OF ALL COLOURS
The trip was amazing. The crew was really nice and helpful. With the snorkeling we stayed with the crewmember and got to see all the goods of the reef.

Fantastic day out at Upolo Reef
My favourite trip of our holidays - very small group so great support and attention from our tour guides (skipper Mikhala was very professional and knowledgable, Julian and Sophia were excellent scuba diving and snorkeling guides and made us feel very safe whilst having fun. The reef itself was a real eye opener full of beautiful fish. To top it all of the food onboard was very tasty.
