  Great viewing and wonderful commentary. So pleased we did this little cruise with our infant daughter. Be aware the Airlie beach hotel pick up is at the bus stop in front of the hotel parking area on Coconut Grove on the eastern side.

• Disappointing short cruise

  Trip was very short. Not the 70 minutes advertised, more like 50 minutes. Commentary was informative but due to murky water from recent cyclone unable to see much. Overall very disappointing.

  I recently did this cruise with my mother whilst on a Royal Caribbean cruise that stopped in Airlie Beach, and it was very disappointing. It was an overcast day, and there had been a shower or two in the morning. There had also been a cyclone cross land near Airlie Beach the week before, so I had contacted the company to ensure the tour was still going ahead. They assured me everything was fine, and the trip was going ahead. But unfortunately, the water was so cloudy from recent weather events on the day, that you could barely see any coral, let alone any fish or sea life. I appreciate that no one can control the weather, but I feel that the poor visibility should have been explained, an alternate option made available and/or a refund offered . None of these things happened, so we expected to get what we paid for - and did not! My mother had not been on a holiday for a number of years due to caring for my father who had dementia and had recently passed away, so she was so looking forward to this tour - but sadly was bitterly disappointed.

• A nice outing for all of the family

  This is a really nice outing for all of the family including young children. We found the tour very insightful, with lots of information shared by our guides. Certainly something we would recommend to anyone spending a few days in and around Airlie Beach.

• Not good on a rainy day

  We went on a rainy day on a pre booked cruise shore excursion, the water was very cloudy, we could hardly see the coral and over an hour we only saw about 15 fish, not the tour operators fault but several tours had already run that day and it would have been nice to have been given the option to cancel. The commentary was good but it was mainly about fish that we didn’t see. I paid for 5 people and it was really dissapointing.

• Beautiful as always!

  Many thanks to Craig, India, Brett and Emma (on comms) for the wonderful trip on a beautiful day! The water, even though a bit murky due to the incessant rains, was beautiful to watch along with the different kinds of fish (we even saw a turtle!). The best part was the crew allowing us to feed the fish! We would highly recommend this tour. This is more of a pet peeve: I had taken this tour back in 2021 and remember being on a smaller boat with only one glass bottom, whereas this time we had a bigger boat with 2 glass bottoms. The issue we had this time was that the glass was further away from us, and the lighting/shadows from above obscured the view into the water. Not sure if there is a way around this though.

  Great way of seeing all the coral Species and you get to see some fish. You get a tour as well and get to explore the Island too.

  From the moment we were picked up on time by our friendly driver, we had the best experience of our holiday so far. We arrived in our air conditioned van and were greeted by a great team who operated the boat. As we travelled out we saw the most amazing coral reefs with hundreds of stunning exotic fish swimming through them. Incredible colours and variety helped make this tour so special. We were told about all of the different fish and corals that we saw with real expertise from the tour guide. Huge thanks to the team from us both. Recommend this to anyone!!
