    Had the best time on this boat! Staff is super professional and ready to help. Snorkeling in the reefs was amazing and so safe! Shoutout to Kiki who was the best guide!

    Really enjoyed the experience, the boat is very well kept and organized. We got to see two reefs plus the food was great, take advantage if your visiting.

    This was a great trip! Mossman Gorge was fantastic. The trip through the Daintree Rainforest was primarily driving through it in the bus however, which was a bit disappointing for us as we thought we'd be able to get out and walk through it a bit. Clint was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the area, plants and wildlife.

    Despite the first two words of this excursion being Cape Tribulation, we never did go to Cape Tribulation. While that didn't have a big effect on the outcome of our day, I just wanted to mention it in case it was something someone was really looking forward to. We did drive through and quickly stop in Port Douglas.

    Fantastic experience with the Reef Adventures team. Excellent equipment and Ken took great care of my wife to ensure she could enjoy this amazing experience even though she is not a swimmer. Boat was really fast and thanks to the crew we had great fun on the journey. Would highly recommend this trip. Loved it.

    This day was one of the best on our 4 week vacation. Seastar is a family run/ oriented business. The crew was knowledgeable and understanding to individual and group needs. We were a family of 4 (parents/adult kids) and had a great time. All of us were signed up for snorkeling but two of the group also tried scuba diving. Certified scuba instructor were patient and accommodating. Seeing different parts of the reef was great. We recommend Seastar and would go out with them again.

    It was a very nice day. The journey to the Greta Barrier reef was a bit bumpy as the swell was very strong, but once we were there it was very relaxed. The snorkelling was already a good foretaste of the Great Barrier Reef, but the dive was simply unique. My diving instructor helped me a lot. I had a few problems with my ears at the beginning, but he did a good job and gave me the time I needed.
    In general, the crew were really helpful and everything ran very smoothly.

    Very well organized. The train up was beautiful and fun. Once at top we enjoyed the free time. The gondola down through the rainforest was exhilarating! Definitely well worth the money!
    It was super easy for us getting off the cruise ship, being picked up right there and back in a very timely manner. Would recommend it to anyone cruising!

    Was beautiful. Weather was very bad and feel that there could be more done to protect passengers when weather is not ideal..we were left standing in a storm without protection waiting to board the boat. I would like to go again and hopefully it will be nicer..

    If like me you are someone who prefers not to spend all day getting sunburnt on a boat, this half day tour is the perfect way to get in some beach and snorkel time without having to spend a full day in the sun.
    The Reef Rocket boat departed Cairns on time and we reached Green Island by 10am leaving just under 2 hours for snorkelling and sunbathing.
    There’s limited coral however plenty of fish and other marine life to see! Beaches were beautiful and facilities as expected.
    We were back at cairns marina by 1pm - in time for a nap before heading out for the evening.
    Not a Reef experience by any means but a great day out leading by a great group of people.

    This is exactly the trip you should go on if either a first- timer or someone who has snorkeled since a child. The crew is friendly and knowledgeable. Despite being 66 years old with no previous experience, I felt very secure. The scenery is spectacular and you can either swim around on your own or latch on to a life ring for your tour. Thank you so much!

    Had a very long and memorable day with James who is a super friendly, funny and knowledgeable guide. We had a multi age, international group on the trip and he attended to the interests of young and old. Felt he knew the route thoroughly and threw in a few bonus stops for great views. We learned a lot from our lunch host and our river guide. We lucked out and even saw a baby croc, a cassowary with a baby and some lovely birds.
    Thanks to all for a very special day.

    Despite the monsoon weather, Bei and his team (Louie and Matt) made the best of it and showed us a lovely day. The visibility on the reef was great and we saw tons of fish, beautiful coral and a sea turtle peaceful swimming about the reef. Matt and Louie were very attentive to everyone, knowledgeable about the reef and helpful. Our excursion to Dunk Island was short as it was pouring. Bri continued to check in and collectively we made decisions about how long to stay, etc. I’m grateful for Bri’s experience and expertise.
    Notwithstanding the above, anyone booking the tour from Cairns should know there is almost a 2 hour bus ride to and from this tour. It was not explixitly mentioned and would have been good to know. I would have still booked and recommend this tour but good to know what is involved up front. Long day but beautiful to experience the reef. Saw NO Other boats out as Bri has. License for Beaver Reef and Dunk Island. I would rather have the large commute and go to an exclusive part of the reef. Much was nice, definitely not gourmet. Lovely fruits offered as well.

    An action packed afternoon for adrenaline junkies. Jade was a brilliant guide and made the drops fun with lots of splashing of water, but kept us safe. The pick up & drop off went smoothly and it’s only a 15-20 minute drive from Cairns which is a plus.
