Absolutely brilliant day with the crew today. Every single person on the staff was kind, patient and happy to answer any and all questions. Had a good chat with the engineer Warren who was super friendly and Dusty absolutely nailed it as the semi-submerged tour guide. But yeah every single crew member were absolute legends! 100% recommend! Especially if you have younger kids.

Great day out. Snorkelling was very enjoyable and the crew were vibrant and informative of the reef.
One of the big reasons I wanted to do the reef was to get a photo down there with my friends and partner and there was no option / photographer to do this.
The dive was also extremely short and we it didn’t add much more value to the experience than the snorkelling.

What a fantastic day! I just loved the snorkeling - so many beautiful fish! Definitely do the outer reef snorkel tour with a guide, it was fantastic! I really wanted to do the introductory scuba dive, however I am on medication that meant I couldn't, but what a great option! The trip out to the reef and back was great, a nice big boat with 3 levels and refreshments. The lunch was OK, nothing fancy (there are prawns) but it wasn't terrible either. The guides were excellent and very helpful. I would definitely do this again.

We had an amazing adventure out on the reef with the crew of reef magic cruises, would like to thank Benny and Aaron who were our dive guides for giving me and my partner the experience of a life time, especially swimming around with wally the humphead Maori wrasse, he's just like a puppy dog of the sea.

Amazing team, amazing instructors. Great reef choices. Plenty of time to snorkel, dive and sunbath. Food was great, the team took great care of us and was always by our side. You cannot go wrong with them!
I read some of the one star reviews. People are so entitled nowadays. Astonishing what people can complain about.

Excellent reef cruise out to the pontoon at Moore reef. Amazing fish and corals. Great helicopter rides additional extra flying over the coral reef for 10mins. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Phil the marine biologist was very patient trying to teach my daughter to snorkel. The lunch buffet was yummy. There was morning tea of some cake slices and afternoon tea of cracker, cheese, salami, dip and a bit of fruit. Loved the glass bottom boat tour included in the price and the semi submersible was good too although a bit more rocky.
My only slight negative comment was how many additional optional

What a fantastic day.
My partner & I went on the Great Barrier Reef cruise, 5 hours at the Reef.
From the start they were organised, quick boarding.
Tea & coffee served till the vessel set off so get one fast as it's an hour and a half to the Reef station.
The instruction was delivered well & the marine biologist talk was very informative on the way.
Drinks & snacks served at a reasonable price.
My partner was snorkelling & I went to sunbathe and go on the glass bottom and submersible boat. Even though I wasn't taking part in the water activity I had a good day.
The food was good and plentiful
