The friendly and knowledgeable crew, the delicious and plentiful food and the amazing location made this a trip we'll never forget.
Snorkelling with manta rays, the shark cleaning station, sailing and wildlife spotting, the wonderful crew, getting so much time in the water.

- The crew were genuinely friendly and nothing was too much for them. The snorkeling was amazing, full of wonder and delight. The food was so delicious, freshly baked bread on board a boat blew my expectations out of the water.

Awesome three days in Coral Bay!
The variety of coral is breathtaking. So great to see a reef that is still thriving. Lots of big fish like sharks, rays, and groupers, but the wobegongs, cuttlefish, and octopus were my favorites. Several spots had interesting pass-throughs and giant coral configurations. On board everything was well set-up and the staff were excellent all round. Food was wonderful, including fresh baked bread!
