Breathtaking
Never slept on a boat before and that was very relaxing. The night dive was by far the best dive of the trip. Saw a bunch of sharks and a sea turtle as well.

Unforgettable scuba diving at a great price
It was a great collection of people, a very small group of folks that made for a very pleasant diving experience. I was the only diver on board, the rest were snorkeling, so I had the three divemasters to myself!

Great Sailing Adventure on the Great Barrier Reef.
We were only able to moor at Michaelsminn reef due to weather conditions, but the captain made sure we all saw our share of turtles, sharks, clown fish, and the beautiful colorful coral. I would also add that the trip back to the marina was a true sailing experience. We had winds at 25 knots and waves at 2 meters. The perfect conditions to experience real sailing.
- Recommended for
- 1. The crew were very experienced and knowledgeable on sailing and diving. 2. The captain (Christian) was very entertaining in providing the guests with the history and his knowledge of the reefs history, as well as efforts to continue the life of the reef. 3. The ship is older and in need of some TLC in the living quarters, but make no mistake this sailboat is in great sailing shape. The older woodwork in the cabin gave it an added ambience and nostalgia.

Beautiful and unique experience + family feeling
- the night dive - the small group on board, which made it more familiar- the sunrises and sunsets on the ship- that every dive level / snorkel level is welcome- the cleanliness on the ship and food from a human point of view and food
