Très belle excursion d'une journée : snorkeling et une plongée bouteille pour moi. Le bateau est confortable et les 3 membres d'équipage sont adorables et aux petits soins. Il y avait beaucoup de nourriture/boissons tout au long de la journée. Seul hic : le responsable qui accueille le matin les participants sur le bateau aussi aimable qu'une porte de prison. Il est TRES DESAGREABLE. Heureusement qu'il ne reste pas pour la journée sur le bateau car l'ambiance n'aurait pas été la même et ma note aurait été très mauvaise je pense. Nous sommes arrivées au rendez-vous à 7h10 : il était indiqué sur notre mail de confirmation d'arriver entre 7h15 et 7h45. Il nous a dit d'aller prendre un café. Ma copine est restée près du bateau quand moi je suis allée aux toilettes. A 7h45 j'ai posé le pied sur la jetée à 300m du bateau, à 7h47 j'étais sur le bateau. Ca faisait 10 minutes qu'il lui disait de m'appeler (ce qu'elle a fait et je lui ai dit que j'étais là dans les 3 minutes) et à 2 minutes près il faisait partir le bateau sans moi : hors de question de m'attendre 2 minutes. Il ne rigolait pas du tout ce qui est un comble puisque nous sommes revenus à la marina vers 15h30 alors qu'ils mettent un retour vers 16h30 approximativement.
literally the best tour I've ever been on
Really you are just of Green Island...so Spend the little extra and see the outer reef. I don't get seasick. But it's a little boat and the staff was not that attentive to the ones who were. Stinger suits don't smell too clean. Up the anti to a great reef experience not an average at best one...
Hands down the best snorkelling trip I have been on. The reef is full of life which mirrors the crew onboard. All of the staff were excellent, great humour and expert knowledge. I didn’t scuba dive, but have done once before. The safety briefing for the dive was so comprehensive I wish I had these instructors for my previous one! A particular highlight was the small group (max20) compared to larger trips (120). This made the experience much more personal, each crew member made genuine conversations with us onboard. Thanks to everyone for the brilliant day out, would recommend to anyone coming to Cairns. Slán go fóill, we will be back!

Bonne expérience !
Le Tarif raisonnable nous a convaincus d essayer. La compagnie a fait de son mieux. Équipage consciencieux, adaptable, gentil, pédagogue et patient avec nous qui étions total débutants. Nous avons apprécié la nourriture (y compris le repas special sans gluten pour mon fils) Très honnête : l'un d entre nous a dû renoncé à son baptême de plongée en dernière minute et la prestation n'a pas été facturée. C est vraiment chic ! MERCI.
