The proprietor of our hotel recommended this tour, and she was absolutely correct. From the beginning of the tour, we could see the staff was very organized and thorough. They were also all incredibly friendly and helpful. They patiently equipped us with wetsuits, snorkels, goggles. We could also sign up for scuba diving. They give an introductory lecture, and there... More

We used reef experience for our day trip to the explore the reef because our hotel recommended it and we were not disappointed. THey allow a free dive at the first reef stop and my husband was hooked! I enjoyed a snorkel tour at the second stop and would recommend this to anyone not diving. The food was also excellent...

We had a choice of going either with Marine World or Reef Experience. We're so glad we chose Reef Experience because (1) we spent more time at two difference dive sites instead of one, (2) crew kept us informed and entertained at all times, (3) great instructors, (4) great service, (5) knowledgeable and very friendly crew. We highly recommend this... More

Before arriving in Cairns i thoroughly researched all of the reef trips and this one came out on top. After our trip i can see why it is rated so highly. The boat is nice and big so it is ideal for people who get seasick. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic with a... More

This is a very good deal. The staff is well trained and re assuring and very clear on instructions. One of the instructors was a model LOL. It is the barrier reef so it is going to be good regardless. I went on a day when the sea was a little rough and it was raining but still enjoyed.Thanks to... More

When coming to Australia the thing that I was most looking forward to was The Great Barrier Reef, and I have to say it did not disappoint. I hired an underwater camera and took over 1000 photos. The weather was a little disappointing as it rained, but I was in the water most of the time so it didn't bother... More

this is currently the best value in cairns for a reef trip and introduction dive. most other boats the introduction dive is an extra cost. wet suits were also included in the price. dive instructor lucy was brilliant. I had done 3 introductory dives before and her explanations and support diving were better by a long way compared to the... More

We arrived in Cairns on Mar 17, 2013 and wanted to book for a Great Barrier Reef tour departing from Port Douglas the next day (Mar 18, 2013). We didn’t know at the time that the Port Douglas tour required at least 5 days booking in advance, which didn’t leave us much option but to look into a departure from... More
