A wonderful diving experience! We enjoyed swimming with the coral and the fish. The staffs were nice and friendly. The food was not bad. However, there are not many facilities on the cruise. The toilets were small and difficult for us to get change!

Value for money in this Reef Experience and enjoy both Snorke and Scuba Diving in 2 Reef. Excellent Breakfast and buffet lunch. More Rice / added rice will be more appreciated.

Staff were professional, very patient and fun! Their encouragement and support made my scuba dive successful! My friend was sick and they were comforting and supportive.

Amazing. First try at the great barrier reef and was excited. Intro scuba lessons were easy and fun, which makes me want to pursue it further. Only wished we could have saw some more reefs, the ones we saw were very limited in species and activity. Great food and a good time all around

The crew on the boat were so friendly, they got everyone involved in the days activities making it a fun day out for my partner and myself. They explained everything that was going to happen during the day,all the safty features which made my partner feel good about getting into the water.
One the best days we have ever had out on the Great Barrier Reef!!!!
Thank you Travstar.

This is the \\\"ONLY\\\" way you should see the reef!! Compared to other boats who charge double - this is truly value for money. The staff were so helpful, especially to our 11 year old son. Thanks Reef Experience!!!!

The staff on the Reef Experience were fantastic. They went above and beyond to be helpful and friendly and really made this one of the most memorable trips yet.

The boat was great, and the private \\\"Top Deck\\\" experience was worth the extra cost. We spent the day in beautifully airconditioned comfort and were provided with fully cooked breakfast, amazing platters for lunch, and even included wine and cheese for the trip home.

I plan on making this tour part of my annual trip back to Cairns.

The reef experience was the highlight for my husband. The trip out was comfortable, the staff knowledgable and friendly. We enjoy both the journey out to the reef as just as much as the diving and snorkling.

Awesome experience! My first dive and it was at the reef with highly qualified and experienced instructors. I will certainly repeat!
