“ Loved everything, from the food to the boa to the excellent staff. They know what they do and they humour us. I would repeat it again. 100 /100. The weather wasn't great but still, we were able to enjoy it to the fullest... live it and love it! You won't regret it.
Tean is great, the food is good and the team is very involved with the travellers

3 months agoFantastic experience snorkelling on the reef. Well organised and wonderful professional staff.
Excellent 10/10. Well organised, professional staff, food AOK, well timed, would have liked to start 1hr later, as most things start so early and one gets tired getting up so early. If you had daylight saving getting back at 5:30 would make a difference. Loved every and would recommend to all
1 year agoGreat way to spend a day in Cairns! Absolutely worth it
Great way to spend the day. The whole team on the boat were welcoming, friendly and could answer any questions. The boat had enough space for everyone to be there. The reef locations were beautiful and we had plenty of time in each location. You had the option to explore on your own or there were guided tours available. Our favourite day of the holiday
1 year agoIt was nice experience. Lovely crew. Comfy cruise. We enjoyed it. Nice food. Weather was perfect and warm.
10/10 experience. It was a nice experience. Lovely crew. Comfy cruise. We enjoyed it. Nice food. We got to see the shark and swim with it. Weather was perfect and warm. Cruise was clean. Got to enjoy sitting outside while moving. Air-con inside. Unforgettable day.
1 year agoIs the Reef still one of the Wonders of the World?
Enjoyed our day out on the water. Crew and facilities were great. Weather was fine, a bit of a swell but not a problem for most passengers. However questioning whether it is still worth spending a day of holiday travelling all the way out to the Reef now that so much of it is dead. It was nice snorkeling around, still some beautiful fish and observing the old coral formations. But also a bit like visiting an old ruin rather than a vibrant living beauty.. On balance pleased we took this trip.
1 year agoReef trip from Cairns - two great reefs to snorkel. Choppy, rainy weather did not spoil the experience.
A well planned Great Barrier Reef trip. Super buffet and drinks provided. Awful weather on our trip meant many people were seasick and snorkelling was less enjoyable. One bucket list item ticked in our once- in-a-lifetime Australia family holiday. The reefs were remarkably varied in structure and colours. Probably better reefs than Maldives, Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Egypt.
1 year agoFantastic day, beautiful boat and helpful and professional staff. 5 star experience.
Fantastic day, beautiful boat and helpful and professional staff. 5 star experience. We managed to see 2 fantastic reefs, snorkelling was amazing, lunch was tasty and surprisingly high-end food, good size steaks, reef fish, prawns and heaps of salads and pastas. Even the vegan and veggie options were lovely.
2 years agoNice and easy half day trip—glass bottom boat was really great
Green Island Half Day Cruise. A good way to introduce you to the reef, before heading out for a full day. Would recommend this experience. The glass bottom boat was great as our skipper was really experienced and knew where to take the boat.
2 years agoFriendly staff, great food, safety was first priority and the boat was clean, spacious and comfortable.
There are so many boat companies running out of Cairns to the Great Barrier Reef for snorkelling and diving. We chose the evolution “down under cruise and dive”. From passenger check-in, boarding the boat to arriving at the reef and the return trip back to Cairns there are no complaints from me. The friendliness of staff and the atmosphere on the boat was amazing. There are plenty of comfortable seats with tables to sit at and relax and enjoy lunch. Lunch was a buffet self serve steak, fish, prawns and soft drink or alcohol which was all included. They take the safety of their passengers seriously with multiple head counts, safety demonstrations and constantly asking if you are okay or have any questions. All gear is included in price such as, mask and snorkel, stinger suit which is optional but they did say it’s recommended for the odd jellyfish or too being the tropics and floatation devices.
2 years agoStaff were attentive and supportive! Everything you need is on board.
This was my first snorkelling cruise and it was so much fun, to say the least. I went with my partner, (who is a non swimmer) and we both had an amazing time on the cruise. Staff are really informative and helpful, as someone who gets sea sick, they had motion sickness tablets available on board, which made the day even more delightful! Everything is included and additional items are available for purchase, staff supplied us with all necessary snorkelling gear and stinger suits to prevent sun burn and jellyfish stings! My partner was provided a life jacket and even had a staff member in the water provide a guided snorkel for him so he didn’t miss out. The food was sooo yummy and they encourage you to go for seconds, thirds and even fourths! No shortage on the food, you can eat as much as you please. With the tea and coffee facilities, they were able to provide non diary milk at no extra costs and had muffins ready upon arrival. This cruise was great and I would definitely recommend! They really cater for all and anyone can enjoy the experience.
