    Yesterday was the perfect day for the reef. 2 knot winds and amazing visibility. 👌 Crew were helpful and attentive. Lunch was lovely. Foods that weren't too heavy also, which is good when you're swimming. Lots to do. We snorkeled, checked out the underwater observatory and went on the semi submersible. All great fun and the day flew by! Beautiful coral and fish. Didn't see any sharks, turtles or rays, sadly, but that's nature. 🐠

    Magical! Highly recommend this boat for all travellers & divers! First transfer boat was well maintained, clean toilets, air coned, all staff are professional (fabulous uniform) & friendly! Shout out to office Peter, DM Jake, Amber, Heiyan, Shaun and all staff from galley! Safety briefing was clear & all demonstration was not rushing, very considerate for having other languages provided! Love seeing international instructors at the GBR! All staff helped out every passenger who were sea sick and giving them all the care & love🤍 Second boat was spacious, not crowded even handling numbers of family! So many option to enjoy the sea view for non swimmer! The snorkelling lined area was a good size for the look out to focus and everyone was safe! Marine life at the swallow area was lovely, I can tell all the kids felt safe and happy! Mooring line & the bottom of the platform we’re well taking care of, loved the entry for intro divers, since there were ropes for them to hold of to. Saw a few instructors really spending their time to make sure intro divers were feeling safe and not panicky. I had Amber as my buddy since I am a solo diver, she was professional and experienced to look after others. First dive bottom was 45minutes and we saw so many Wally and clams! Second one was a drift dive (thank you Shaun) we entered a bit further of the Moore Reef. HeiYan & Amber were amazing and I felt loved by someone who can speak my language! Although a bit of a current but nothing can stop us from seeing sharky! Lunch had various options provided for Vegetarian & seafood lover!🦐 everything was clean & yummy! I even went for a second🙈 6 changing rooms were all clean and not much waiting time even with this capacity. All diving gear was clean and well maintained & very updated! Wetsuits were all in good condition and everyone can get their right size! Very instagramable! 💃🏻 I enjoyed this day very much, thank you to all staff, office reservation booker, buyer who bought all diving gear! I would definitely come visit again and recommend this experience for all my friends!

    Well organised and once in a lifetime experience. Can not recommend the underwater sub boat and the helicopter ride enough. Good food and drink choices. If you get seasick make sure you take tablets as reaching the pontoon is quite rough.

    Firstly, let's talk about the pontoon - it exceeded our expectations. Despite the strong wind 30km/h and less than perfect weather conditions, the pontoon provided a great platform for everyone to enjoy the reef. The highlight of the day was the snorkeling - even our non-swimmer young children were able to participate and have a great time. It's fantastic that they were able to learn how to snorkel on the day and would like to snorkeling twice. The Great Barrier Reef near the pontoon was the star of the show - full of colorful coral and fish. We even got to see Nemo! The availability of noodles and life jackets for everyone was a great touch and gave peace of mind to those who were less confident in the choppy water. It's always a good sign when the facilities are up to scratch, and the clean toilet was certainly appreciated. The crew staff also left a great impression, being friendly and helpful throughout the day. To top off the experience, the entertainment programs on the way back were a highlight. It's great to see that Reef Magic provides a full day of entertainment, both in and out of the water. Overall, Reef Magic provided an amazing day out, despite the less than perfect weather conditions. The colorful Great Barrier Reef and helpful crew make this a must-do tour for anyone visiting the area. Family also receive special family price. Highly recommended!
