Reviews: Cairns Magic Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with snorkeling, lunch, glass-bottom boat, and semi-submarine
Guest User2025-11-08
The so-called "Chinese-speaking tour" is actually just a confirmation email sent to your phone by the merchant after you've successfully purchased and paid for the tickets. It lists the activities included in the package. However, there's virtually no Chinese-speaking service throughout the trip; it's essentially like buying two packages and then traveling entirely independently. On the boat and on the Great Barrier Reef platform, those who speak good English can learn more about the activities and have a smoother experience, while those who don't can just go with the flow. The overall experience of this tour wasn't as great as I had imagined beforehand; this varies from person to person because everyone's past experiences and expectations are different.★

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-14
Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour! ★

Reviews: Cairns: Ocean Spirit Great Barrier Reef Full Day Tour
Guest User2026-01-15
We had a wonderful snorkeling day overall. The reef was beautiful, the boat was comfortable, and most of the crew were friendly and professional. The equipment, food, and the general organisation of the trip were very good, and we truly enjoyed being out on the water. That’s why this situation was especially disappointing — because it could have been handled so easily with a little care, flexibility, and hospitality. We missed the submarine ticket pick-up at 10am — yes, that part was our mistake. We accept that. But hospitality is not about punishing guests for small mistakes. It is about helping people enjoy the experience they paid for. With 86 passengers onboard, the number of submarine seats should already be known and managed. A simple headcount, a radio call, or a quick announcement asking which guests had not yet collected their tickets would have solved the problem in minutes. This is basic service management. Even better, tickets should simply be handed out during the main p★

The boat is very new and big, you can lie down and bask in the sun, the staff are very enthusiastic, and it is a pleasant travel experience★

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.
