AI summary of 12 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for their knowledge, patience and friendly approach, particularly in helping nervous or inexperienced swimmers and snorkellers feel confident and safe in the water. The marine wildlife viewing stands out most frequently in the reviews, with travellers regularly spotting turtles, rays, sharks and other fish across the reef and mangrove areas, alongside beautiful scenery and well-chosen snorkelling locations. The mix of kayaking, snorkelling and time spent on beaches with refreshments is frequently highlighted as well-balanced and enjoyable. The most common caveat is that kayak back supports are limited in number, with one review noting that novices should prioritise access to this equipment.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
A great half day kayaking and snorkelling with Calton. I'm not much of a swimmer, so I really appreciated the help that let me snorkel.
A fantastic half day turtle tour with Jules, a knowledgeable guide who made us feel relaxed and safe. He picked the perfect spot for the wind on the day, the snorkelling was excellent with amazing marine life, and morning tea on a beautiful beach topped it off.
Our half day tour with Toby was the best day. He took six of us kayaking in and around the mangroves, was knowledgeable and funny, and helped me get over my fear of snorkelling in deeper water, including getting off and back on the kayaks.
A really enjoyable half day turtle tour with Colton and Lucy. We saw so many turtles, plus sharks, rays and a very active dugong, and the snorkelling was wonderful.
On the half day kayak and turtle tour we paddled out to a buoy and snorkelled for about 45 minutes at one of the best sites we've seen in Australia, with a tawny shark, octopus, turtles and rays. Then snacks on a small beach and a paddle back along the mangroves. Great guides, though there weren't enough kayak back supports to go round, so novices should grab one.
My partner and I did the half day kayak and turtle snorkel with Nick and Clayton and were really happy. Perfect weather, friendly and helpful guides, and a beautiful reef swim.
