This experience was fantastic. It was very well organised and we both felt supported and safe in the water. The team are friendly, welcoming. When diving down, ask them to teach you how to equalise your ears - the crew were diving very deep and I was jealous. We both gave it a good attempt. Advice: go one size up on the flippers. We both selected a cosy/firm/tight fit flipper that, when on land, felt sturdy and comfortable. However, we both came away from the water with deep cuts and scratches to the tops of our toes. By the third dive, it had become very uncomfortable but we didn’t want to miss the action. Amazing, wonderful time. Even better than a Great Barrier Reef dive. We will definitely book again. We purchased the photos to remember the day - 70 dollars extra to the freelance photographer. We saw huge manta rays and turtles, plus a sting ray and baby sharks.

Crew cared for us so well. Great snorkeling, stunning scenery . I saw loads of fish, clams, octopus and great coral formations. A good picnic lunch on board and just being out in the sea was wonderful.

We had a Fantastic day. Calm sea and almost no wind. An 8 manta ray mating chain that we swam with 3 times was unbelievable. But as always with nature, you never know what you will get until you are there. We also only had 12 in our group that made the whole experience so much better than if there was a larger group in the boat.
The crew were awesome and did everything they could to make our day enjoyable. I was worried about getting out of the water and onto the platform - requires a manoeuvre I couldn’t manage but I was able to get up using the ladder - would have slowed things down if there was a larger group but I don’t think it impacted on anyone the day I was there.

Great Tour, we have seen several Manta Rays very close. Friendly and motivated crew. A must do, highly recommended!

Unfortunately the winds were very high and this made it incredibly cold particularly when out of the water and the wet suits seemed to make this worse. Definitely take warm vest and Windcheater with you. Unfortunately we did not see any mantarays…. Our sole purpose of the tour which was sad. The photographer Laura was lovely.

The staff are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Safety is a priority. The wildlife encounter was amazing with manta rays, turtles and an abundance of fish and coral.

Excellent, friendly and informative staff and crew. Great snorkelling on the reef and marine wildlife encounters. Good buffet lunch, drinks and snacks. Well worth the money.

Very well organised tour with safety briefings a priority. Staff ensured that all have the opportunity to view marine life but to get the most out of the tour you would need to be a confident swimmer.

Great crew, great experience. The crew went out of their way to make sure everyone was looked after. We really enjoyed this tour.

What an incredible experience! A must do and definitely worth making the trip up to coral bay just for this experience. We got incredibly lucky and saw between 10-15 manta rays, 5 turtles, loads of reef sharks, a porcupine ray and a blue spotted ray. Based on what the team were saying - you see more manta rays around a full moon so definitely worth noting and planning around if you can!
The team were incredible - a massive shout out to Bodie, Tash, Dan, Kai and Laura. Not only we’re they very knowledgeable about the manta rays but you could tell how passionate they are about caring and respecting the reef.

The crew on the boat were outstanding in managing a group of 20 people with widely varied swim ability to make sure the experience was the best for the whole group and each individual. Lou lead the group in the water and she was stellar I felt safe to be there. The marine life is spectacular. This tour company makes sure the welfare of the marine life is foremost and educates tour participants on best practice then makes sure they follow best practice. Really awesome adventure with an awesome team.

An amazing day. We swam with mantarays, turtles and reef sharks. The coral and other fish were incredible. The only problem was the day went too fast!
Jennifer_D, Jul 2022
The trip was amazing. Swimming multiple times with the manta ray was so fantastic. Swimming with sharks, turtle And do many beautiful fish as well. Loved seeing a tiger shark and whales from the boat. Photographer was great. But take your own wetsuit. It was cold at the start of a winters morning.

We had a great day on the water, the crew were fantastic and very friendly as well as knowledgeable. The Manta Rays put on a stunning show they are amazing animals. We were lucky to see turtles, dugongs, tiger shark, and so many beautiful fish and corals. Our final highlight was seeing the humpbacks on the other side of the reef moving north in groups. Thanks for a fun day.

The staff were happy, friendly and only too happy too accommodate each and every travelers needs. Our best possible eco experience was their top priority. They communicate with other your operators to give everyone an opportunity to see the best Coral Bay had to offer.
Great memories from this trip.
Would absolutely recommend!
