    Great experience to Moore Reef. Lovely staff. Highly recommend the guided introductory snorkeling tour by Ted, who showed me around the reef and how to snorkel. All tips he taught me really helped me to begin my snorkeling journey. The scenic helicopter ride was also amazing.

    We had Reef and Fitzroy island cruise with Sunlover.The staff was amazing except Jack,who was rude and condescending when I asked him at the pontoon that I needed to buy a towel from the ship and if he can assist me.He told me that he was needed at the pontoon and wished me luck in finding assistance for that in a most lurid way.The buffet on the ship was all cold meat and under average Sri Lankan chicken coconut curry,If you happen to be a vegan or vegetarian,you are on your own. my daughter felt sick after eating the food and had stomach cramps for two days.The staff was very diligent and knew what they were doing.They were very patient with us on the guided snorkelling tours and offered every sort of assistance asked of them.

    Such a great day on Fitzroy Island. Spent most of the day in the water snorkelling. Conditions were perfect, calm and clear. Saw green sea turtles, stingrays, so many different fish and corals. Was such a beautiful experience for our family. So glad my kids (5 & 11yrs) got to see these things up close in the wild.

    It was a great experience with lots of activities water, but theday i went the underwater observatory was closed, a bit sad. Snokerling was fun, spend around 4 hours for my water activity. They took me a lot of pictures, I love them but the more pics you like the more money you spend. It was $30/pic. Lunch buffet was good, lots of choices, love tropical fruits 🥰❤️.
