An incredible experience. We were looked after from the moment we checked in at the Port. Everything was managed so well - the staff were incredible - the food was excellent and the ambiance perfect. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience.

We stayed at reef sleep on the pontoon and loved every minute. All staff were fabulous especially the manager Andy who cared so much for the patrons. The diving was easy and fun as was the snorkelling. Food fantastic and plentiful. They made you feel first class from start to finish !

We were excited to experience sleeping out on The Great Barrier Reef and it didn't disappoint. The staff were great, the meals were exceptional and sleeping in the swag on deck was unforgettable. We were particularly fortunate enough to only have 3 other couples staying, so a total of 8 people. Unfortunately, it was windy on both days which made snorkelling a little unpleasant. It was also windy overnight, but our swag was snug. They provide everything you need for snorkelling including one piece rash suits (only required when it's stinger season), flippers, goggles, snorkels and life vests. The amenities were clean. The staff are highly vigilant when people are in the water. The underwater observatory is great. They also have a semi submersible submarine. I would highly recommend this short holiday. Carolyn
