Reef Adventures - Mission Beach, Queensland

Louise Trail

Was an absolutely amazing trip to the Great Barrier Reef, snorkelling.
All the equipment was in perfect condition and the skipper’s were very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help and answer any and all questions. They really helped make the trip so much better. We had Courtney and Toby. Cannot recommend this trip any more! You won’t regret it!

Absolutely amazing day out!! I did the new Reef Adventures trip up in Cairns trip, we went to Upolo Cay and the reef was so healthy and colourful, really impressed!

Danny and the crew looked after me so well, made the trip very enjoyable and it was such good value!

Thanks Reef Adventures for an epic day out?

The friendliest staff! They made us feel welcomed and safe in an activity that could have been quite nerve-wracking for some! We saw the coolest animals and coral up close! This was the PERFECT way to experience the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef!

I’ve had such an amazing experience at Reef Adventure half day tour in Cairns. I don’t usually take the time to write reviews but I just had to for this one. I was so impressed with the staff and their attention to detail. I loved their energy, attentiveness and the way they were taking the time to talk to all of us. There were only 19 of us and the staff made sure we were well taken care of by offering us dry bags, jackets, snacks, song requests, always had their eyes on us when snorkelling. They created such a positive and fun atmosphere. I thought the half day was perfect, I felt like I got a good amount of time to see the reef, it didn’t tire me out (in fact, I felt more energized) and I still got to enjoy the rest of my day! The speedboat was so much fun, be prepared to get splashed once in a while but it’s all part of the fun! Felt like a rollercoaster.

Another bonus, free video and pictures!! I cannot rave about this experience enough! I’ve done a couple other reef tours and this one is by far my favourite!! So worth it if you are looking for a short, fun and cheaper trip!

Thank you to Reef Adventures for a great half day tour from Cairns. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable and made you feel right at home.
We had a very enjoyable hour trip out to our snorkelling location, listening to great tunes while taking in some magical scenery. Spotted a turtle.
Close to two hours in the water snorkelling and observing an array of fish, sea slugs, star fish and coral.A few spotted a reef shark.
The equipment was in perfect condition.
They took pictures of our experience in and out of the water which we can access to enjoy the memories for free through their FB page. Amazing ?
Next time I think we’ll try their Mission Beach tour

Fantastic experience! The boat ride there was great - no buffering, very smooth with great tunes! Lily and Toby were awesome - really friendly and knowledgeable! Overall a brilliant tour which I would recommend for anyone wanting to view colourful corals and incredible aquatic life!

We had the most amazing day with Toby and Lily, on the way to the reef we saw a whale and her calve and a group of dolphins. The reef itself is very colourful teeming with fish. The guys made it a super chilled and very informative trip that will stay long in the memories. Highly recommend reef adventures for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Thanks for creating a most memorable day. ?

Bottom line, go on a smaller boat with less people and a caring staff. This is our second time on the GBR and this was the best trip. Smaller boat so less snorkelers. Last time it took over 30 minutes just to get into the water as they were so many snorkelers. Our boat was the only boat at the two stops we made. We saw so many different fish . In fact we were snorkeling among them. The coral was amazing as the sun filtered through the water. The crew was outstanding. The seasoned captain gave us a strong sense of security. Michelle handed out stinger suites along with sage advice. She also provided lots of food options. Muffins, tea and coffee on the way out, a huge luncheon spread and fruit with coffee and tea ☕? after the second snorkel spot. You can purchase soft drinks and beer. But you can only have acholic after the last dive which is a great safety rule. You can use life vests and noodles, all included. Then, if you are feeling a bit timid being in the water, Jimmy will take you on a guided tour of the reef by pulling you around as you hold on to a flotation ring. A truly amazing time.
