Memorable experience worth every penny. Don’t miss.
Beautiful island for snorkelling and spending a fun day. The timing of the cruise was perfect, there was complimentary tea/ coffee on boarding. We took the glasss bottom tour and that was really fantastic. We saw coral, beautiful fishes and reef which was amazing.

Only 4 stars as it wasn’t the best weather. Staff on board were super helpful.
The staff on board were super friendly and helpful. The weather wasn’t the best for snorkeling sadly but we still made the most of our time on the island. Good price for first timers wanting to experience snorkeling, we had 2 kids 9 and 10 and they were able to see some fish and were lucky enough to have a swim with a turtle.

Best attraction in Cairns when weather is nice sunny
We had heard mixed reviews about the island but we were pleasantly surprised. The beach and water were amazing. The resort was good too. We did one one-day tour but wished we stayed there for at least a couple of days. Already making plans to go back this year. Hopefully the weather will be good again ☀️
