“Tout était bien organisé, l’équipage savait ce qu’il faisait et était super sympa en plus. ”
Points forts
Le S.V. Rum Runner Australie offre des croisières à petit budget fantastiques sur la Grande Barrière de Corail. Deux itinéraires sont offerts : 2 jours/1 nuit loin des foules sur le récif externe de la barrière, ou une expédition plus longue de 3 nuits pour plonger avec des requins au récif de Holmes encore plus reculé. Le circuit classique d'une nuit est idéal pour les plongeurs, les snorkeleurs et ceux qui aimeraient s'essayer à la plongée dans cette région incroyable. Le circuit comprend 6 plongées, y compris une plongée de nuit, ce qui optimise vraiment ce break de 2 jours sur la Grande Barrière de Corail. Les plongeurs plus aventureux ne manqueront pas l'excursion de plongée requin en mer de Corail de 3 jours. Le récif Holmes se trouve à 150 km au large de la barrière, et en raison de son isolation est fréquenté par de nombreux requins et grands poissons pélagiques. La visibilité est épatante, jusqu'à 50m.
À la surface, le S/V Rum Runner peut héberger 16 passagers dans des cabines lits jumeaux ou à 4 lits superposés. Les cabines ne sont pas très spacieuses ou privées - plutôt comme une auberge flottante, mais idéales pour se reposer après une journée de plongée ou de snorkeling. Les espaces communs incluent un salon et une coquerie ouverts, ainsi qu'un pont solarium partiellement couvert. Des prises servent à brancher vos appareils photo et téléphones, et les salles de bain partagées sont séparées entre hommes et femmes, avec eau chaude. Tous les repas sont inclus mais le bateau opère sur base d'amener votre propre alcool - pas de bouteilles en verre autorisées.
Organisant des courts safaris de plongée sur la Grande Barrière de Corail depuis 2005, le Rum Runner est idéal pour le plongeur aventureux souhaitant explorer les récifs plus reculés d'Australie. Réservez votre cabine sans plus attendre en ligne.

The trip was fun with lots or amazing memories
The experience was well organized and tons of fun. The highlights were for sure the horseshoe dive, the night dive, and the sunset on the water.

The most authentic way to see the Great Barrier Reef
I booked this trip looking for a more authentic and communal experience on the Great Barrier Reef and the Rum Runner exceeded my expectations, would 100% recommend to anyone. Because of the size, the passengers and crew quickly became like family. You get to go to a few different dive spots without seeing crowds of other boats or tourists, and seeing the stars at night is so worth the overnight experience. The crew is absolutely fantastic - they make you feel right at home with added benefits of full cooked meals, education and entertainment. They even made each dive feel catered to your skillset. Keep in mind you probably won't sleep very much since the bunks aren't air conditioned (they are comfortable though) and the rules are 3 second showers so be prepared to be a little salty and sweaty, all part of the experience though! Perfect mix of snorkeling and diving which is great for any skill level, and solo or group travelers. This will be one of my favorite experiences in Australia.

- Amazing crew, opportunity to bond with other passengers, secluded days on the reef!

Wonderful intimate experience with the GBR
Absolutely the best bang for your buck. This is my second trip to the GBR and I would prefer this experience over the more fancy boats anytime. You loose the Disneyland factor and gain an authentic experience with real people, great instructors and a great adventure. At the end of the day it’s about the diving, and I can’t tell you it was absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to come back and dive with the sharks. I’ll be back!

If you are a good & independent diver, this would work for you ...
I booked the cheapest available liveaboard. So what do you expect? Obviously it was not a brand new boat - which is finde. Despite being old and run-down, you can still keep things in order. Ropes flying everywhere, things not properly stowed etc. can develop to serious risk, especially during windy and wavy conditions as we had. The crew were friendly and helpful, when asked for help. They did not see problems arising themselves, so were not neccessarily accomodating. The main reason I only gacve 4/5 stars for crew service. However, the boats captain started drinking whiskey/coke mixers from the time, we departed from the harbour (starting ~9 am in the morning). He kept drinking the entire day. He did not seem to be super drunk, yet I witnessed him opening at least 6 drinks (i.e., a can of whiskey/cola); possibly there were even more. On our journey to the reef, we got a some-what ok-ish breefing for how you dive and where equipment was. No repetition of standard hand-signals ("ok", "trouble", "out of air", "form a buddy team" etc.) - only to show how much air is left. At the dive sites, there was literally no briefing. "We anchored here, there is a reef. Enjoy!". In the water, it was even more chaotic. The dive guide did not watch the guests. Individual people went missing and he kept on his dive. Individual people went on solo-dives and no one was concerned or worried. To be fair, I (dive instructor >500 logged dives) did seperate from the group with my buddy, too. However, I think this is unprofessional to not worry about individuals missing at all ... Next, during dives when guests had issues, the dive guide would seldom react or help. For example, one guest had too much air in their BCD and could decend anymore. Standard situation, which is solveable very easily. You can show from a distance how to properly empty the BCD ... The dive guide did not spare a second to worry. The guest kept snorkeling and following us from the durface for >15 min. Last, there was zero service or supervision when entering or leaving the water. We would jump from the 1 - 1.5 m high wall of the ship into the water. No one checked, whether everything went ok. Entering the boat via a ladder was partly challenging (due to weather conditions). No one spared a hand to quickly grab the fins and/or support the guests. Overall experience: If you are an experienced diver and know what you are doing, enjoy the freedom you get. You get to do whatever dive you want. If you are less experienced (I am talking less than 50 or better 100 dives probably), I would not recommend this liveaboard at all !!

An experience I won't soon forget
We saw multiple sharks, rays and turtles. Despite not seeing much sealife during the night dive it was a great experience. The evening talk on the fish we will find on the reef was both entertaining and interesting
- Recommandé pour
- The locations of the dives were perfect and offered a wide variety of sealife. The crew was friendly, funny and helpful in answering any questions I had. The boat was well equipped for it's size and I think the small number of people helped the trip feel more unique.
