Worth the afternoon! - We were so lucky to see 4 sea turtles! Plus we saw lots of beautiful fish and coral, and even got to feed the fish.
We are on the road for 6 weeks travelling and another great memory to add. It will be included in our travels on instagram at Munro.Camping.Adventures. It was definitely worth the afternoon 🐢

Sunset & bubbles - Awesome cruise. Sunset was beautiful as was the coral and the hosts! Informative and entertaining! Supper was yummy and the glass of bubbly on arrival was lovely! Definitely worth the visit!

Great day - Fabulous when over the reef/s. Both driver and commentator need to s-l-o-w their speech and keep in mind that even when 'English' is the tour language chosen by visitors, it still may be their 2nd (or 3rd etc) language. There is a real art to public speaking; you need more than just information, you also need clear presentation.

OK Boat Ride - Boat was nice and crew were very friendly. Advertised as "encounter the marvels of the Great Barrier Reef without becoming wet" had hoped to see more. Maybe because of the weather, tide, or sea state but just an average viewing experience for anyone who has dived or snorkeled any reef.

Ho-Hum experience - It was a ho-hum experience, can't really see the fish and taking pictures through the glass bottom results in pictures with a lot of reflection in them. The turtle siting is just that, if a turtle happens to pop up for air and you happen to be looking in that direction, you might get a glimpse.

Underwhelming experience - Nice simple experience of being on the water and friendly staff. No more interesting than being on any other boat or ferry in the area.

Don't waste your money. - Couldn't see hardly anything. Just greyish coral. Not at all what I was expecting. Could see a few greyish fish every now and then, but I was expecting to see a coral reef with colorful fish.
