Reviews: From Cairns: Great Barrier Reef Pontoon Experience
Guest User2025-08-11
Had a great day at the platform. Really enjoyed snorkeling and there was an additional option to go scuba diving. Lunch was lovely and enjoyed the submersible also. If you aren't great with boats, keep in mind that it takes two hours to reach the platform.★

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-14
Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour! ★

Reviews: Snorkelling or Glass Bottom Boat at Green Island from Cairns
Guest User2026-02-14
Beautiful island, if you don’t snorkel though there not much to do. Glass bottom boat is good. Food sold on the island is basic. Not all menu”s are written in other languages with pictures. Overall relaxing day.★

Reviews: Cairns: Ocean Spirit Great Barrier Reef Full Day Tour
Guest User2026-02-13
Although I had completed online check-in, it was a shame that there was a little time required for confirmation when I entered. The activity itself was great, as Japanese staff were also accompanying me.
