This was truly a bucket-list experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Snorkeling the outer Great Barrier Reef was absolutely breathtaking—the coral was vibrant, the marine life was incredible, and every stop offered something new to take in. The crew on the Calypso was outstanding. They were highly professional, organized, and clearly prioritized safety at every step, which made it easy to relax and fully enjoy the experience. Whether you’re an experienced snorkeler or trying it for the first time, you feel well taken care of. The day was very well run from start to finish. The snorkeling sites were excellent, the equipment was top-notch, and the included lunch, along with morning and afternoon tea, was a great touch and much appreciated after time in the water. One important note for future travelers: the ride out to the reef (about 1.5 hours) can be quite rough depending on conditions. Our day was very wavy, and several people experienced significant seasickness that lasted most of the day. I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication well before departure—it will make a big difference in your overall experience. Overall, this tour delivers exactly what it promises—an incredible day on the reef with a top-tier crew. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Port Douglas.

Amazing experience!! High recommended. An experience not to be missed. Breathe taking views of the rainforest and Barron Falls from both the Skyrail and Kuranda train. Travelled to Kuranda via Skyrail. Stunning views of the rainforest and Barron Falls. We were able to stop and get off at Barron Falls to take photos and explore surroundings, before heading back onto the Skyrail to make our way to Kuranda. Return trip via Kuranda Gold Class train. A beautiful experience with drinks and food served. IC was a lovely and funny host. Train trip was very informative with commentary on how the train line was built. The train stopped to allow passengers to get off and view the Barron Falls. The only downside to booking this tour were the transfers from Kuranda train. We were required to get off at Freshwater rather than continue to head to Cairns City aboard the train. Transfers were a little pricey.

Was one of the first people on the modified itinerary (ferry had been destroyed in the storm). Overall, it was a great tour! Patrick, the driver/guide had terrific energy and passion for the region (including a deep passion for birding). We got to explore the amazing rainforest, swim in the gorge, check out a lot of spiders, and then spend some time at Port Douglas and the beach.
