The experience was really good. Big boat with plenty of space takes you out to the pontoon. The boat first stops at either Hamilton Island or Daydream Island to let passangers off and then carries on to the pontoon. The trip is about 2.5 hours one way. You have about 4-5 hours on the pontoon. Cash bar onboard and buffet snack and lunch provided which was adequate. Once at the pontoon you are provided with a stinger suit, mask and snorkel for snorkelling. You can pay extra on the day to do diving which we opted for. It was a little bit rushed to gear up as we were the first group to dive that day but the facilities are great and their "moon pool" (a staircase onto a platform) makes it super easy to get ready and comfortable before decending. The dive masters were fantastic, knowledgeable and caring and adhered to all safety protocols and were extremely professional. Recommend you bring your own fins for snorkelling as they are not provided. Unfortunately here are no lockers.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Everything was very efficient. The scuba diving is great fun and a must even though it is an extra cost. My Scuba guide Nadia was extremely helpful. Food was of a good standard plus free tea and coffee. Only small downside was when the boat broke down in a huge thunderstorm because of a steering issue but this was fixed within 20 mins. Otherwise it was 5*

This trip is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. The staff were absolutely amazing informing us educating us on everything from the start to the end of the trip the food was great. the pontoon at the great barrier was amazing. I also decided to do a dive, which, for myself was very frightening, and with the help of a lovely young diver, I got the courage to face my fear, and was one of the best experience ever. I could not highly recommend this whole tour more. Amazing!
