I enjoyed the cruise, even though a bit bumpy, it was fun. We saw lots of fish, sea cucumbers, a couple of class, a turtle from the pier, Commentary explained what we saw, with scientific information. I had expected to see a lot of colour in the corals. Best of all for me was walking on the island, so peaceful. The beach was lovely, and there were people swimming between the flags of the patrolled beach, and of course, snorkelling.

Very enjoyable, staff wonderful. Glass bottom boat tour was fascinating. Would have liked a little more time on Green Island so we could see the crocodile show.

Was a great day out, lots of sea turtles and reef sharks! The boats were a bit confusing as they arrived late and there was some confusion over where we store our bags. But overall it was awesome.

The crew of the boat were very informative and professional and we thoroughly enjoyed Green island even though we’re required to wear stinger suits

The submersible vessel was the best part, and great commentary from the guide
