I had an excellent experience with Sunlovers cruises. I am very glad they provided the opportunity to opt in for diving as well for those that might not have booked it. It was my first time diving and it was amazing! Got to see a sea turtle swim right by me.

Great Barrier Reef cruise with lunch and snorkelin

Sera 3 March 2024

It was a beautiful day, the staff were friendly and had great knowledge about the reef, it was an incredible experience snorkelling the reef, I was able to get up close to a turtle and so many different types of fishes. My partner was to scared to get into the ocean but we were able to do the glass boat and the submarine which was good enough to see the reef. But would 100% recommend snorkelling if you’re able to do it! Would definitely do this tour again, loved it

Annette 29 October 2023

What a great day out, we had beautiful seas the area to swim in was amazing and the snorkelling was really good over the coral. The lunch was a basic buff a that plenty of it and fresh.

Great crew .

Ricardo 26 July 2023

We were told before we even left the dock , that the weather was ordinary and to take seasick pills . I’m don’t suffer from seasickness but wow the amount of people that suffers was amazing . Crew were sensational , straight out with observation and attention skills . Nothing was a problem for them and only to happy to please passengers with funny jokes etc . The south east wind made surface conditions choppy but vision underwater was great . Glass bottom boat driver was great with all her info about the coral etc plus the threat of Crown of Thorns starfish . Well worth the effort to travel out to the reef . 👍

A great adventure and view of reef

Alycia 7 July 2023

I really enjoyed this tour and recommend for people who have not done much snorkeling or water activities. The staff were friendly and the food was plentiful. The only thing was it was pretty packed and hard to find a spot. Although it was peak season so can't complain about that too much. And I saw a turtle so that was pretty awesome 😎

Absolutely Awesome

Jason 20 June 2023

What an amazing once in a lifetime experience it was !!

Beautiful reef

Donna 2 October 2022

Snorkelling was fantastic & there was a huge area to explore. Fish were beautiful abundant. The water slide was a big hit with kids (& adults too). Lunch was fresh & tasty. Staff were very friendly and informative. The only negative was that the boat was very crowded & added activities were quite expensive.
