★★★★★ ★★★★★ Great Barrier Reef Cruise Snorkel and Helicopter Darren 13 February 2022 Amazing from start to finish, professional friendly crew with great instruction. Snorkelling was amazing then an exceptional lunch to replenish you with very affordable drinks. Then to top it off the Helicopter ride back was sensational and just topped of the day.
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Great Barrier Reef snorkeling & Helicopter ride James 26 March 2021 We had an absolutely great day out on the reef, the boat was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. The helicopter ride into Cairns was the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend to anybody looking for an awesome day out.
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Helicopter and Boat experience Helbert Rodriguez 24 November 2020 This experience was amazing I recommend Redballon again
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Definitely do the helicopter. Judi 19 September 2019 The water was beautiful and blue and we saw some lovely fish. The staff were really friendly and Eddie was so accommodating with my non swimming sister. The boat was lovely and clean, not too overcrowded. The reef itself didn't look as colorful as i thought it would be. The coral is mostly brown. If possible DEFINITELY get the helicopter ride back to Cairns, even if it means saving for longer. Seeing the reef from above and the whole helicopter experience is truly memorable, wish i could do it again.
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Fantastic experience - treat yourself! Louise 3 August 2019 Fantastic day all round, the boat Evolution was just amazing, so clean and huge plenty of room! The company down under dive & cruise were great very well organised and staff in the water were brilliant! The helicopter ride was fantastic with amazing views although I was a little disappointed the pilot didnt talk and tell us anything about where we were flying over or any reef info. Overall a real once in a lifetime type trip, would go again
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Reef, snorkeling, helicopter back to Cairns Jo 2 March 2018 We had a fantastic day! Down Under tours and Nautilus Aviation were first class with their boat, staff and helicopter. Very professional crew, exceptionally clean boat and facilities. Happy friendly staff that were very knowledgeable about the reef, equipment and activities. The crew were like family with each other, always supporting and helping each other. There was plenty of time to snorkel, or dive, to have lunch and there was plenty of time to be ready to fly home. The reef was amazing from the air, we always felt safe. very special day
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Awesome time on the reef and in the sky Jacob 22 January 2017 Had an amazing time up with the team here in Cairns. The reef was spectacular and a magnificent way to finish the day by seeing the reef from above!
★★★★★ ★★★★★ EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE Erwin 23 November 2015 We are local to Cairns and did not know what to expect from the reef cruise,snorkel package and helicopter scenic flight when we booked,there where some negative comments when we checked on line . the weather was not the best overcast,rain and wind and we still enjoyed everything from the trip,from the booking office staff through to the staff on the boat & helicopter where great and could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed the day , thanks to all the people involved including red balloon for our excellent day on the great barrier reef
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Reef & Chopper adventure David 26 September 2015 Great day out on the reef cruise. Staff on the boat were fun,but professional, and safety was emphasised along with having a good time. Despite it being a windy day ( beyond anyone's control) snorkelling on the reef was a wonderful experience. The highlight, however, was our first time experience in the helicopter. Views of the reef that were unforgettable. A great day out.
★★★★★ ★★★★★ This is a wonderful day. Highlight of our trip! Would do it again in a heart beat Cfs88 25 August 2014 Excellent day out! Very organised. Ideal size boat. Not too big. No waiting around.
