Reviews: Free turtle plush toy - Cairns Reef Magic Moore Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour
Guest User2025-11-03
I'm so disappointed that the photo service is gone ㅠㅠ I saw the Napoleon fish that I wanted to see so badly, but I just passed by with my eyes 😭 People without a GoPro have no way to take a picture even if they saw it right in front of them 😭★

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.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef Fitzroy Island 1-day tour with optional snorkeling/guided snorkeling
Guest User2024-11-07
Second time Fillroy Island. When I snorkel alone last time, I saw sea turtles 𓆉. This time, when I went to the beach behind the island with my daughter, I saw Napoleon fish 〜＼ (^ o ^) ／ I was lucky.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with Silverswift [Optional scuba diving]
Guest User2024-03-30
The outer Barrier Reef is really beautiful, and the corals are all colored. The reason why I chose sliver swift must be because of the professionalism, Yinyan is simply a gospel for diving lovers. After close contact with the coral, I will find that the original "Coral Sea" really exists!
