I recently booked a 3 day/2 night trip on Reef Encounter. What an amazing experience! Not only is the diving awesome but the boat is clean and comfortable and the crew are GREAT. I was travelling alone, but was easily able to meet fellow passengers and friendly crew members. I ended up staying on for some extra days on the... more

I would recommend this tour 100%. Working on a tour desk daily, I sell this tour more than any other reef trip and have never had a bad review come back to me from it. We've sent certified divers out with these guys, and we've sent nervous first timers and they've all had an absolute ball! Great service, great price,... more

My mother and I went with reef-experience twice as part of the top-deck experience. As part of this we were assigned our own reef guide Rachel. Rachel was helpful and friendly and took the time to take my mother, who was nervous in the water, out onto the reef. This meant that both my mother and I enjoyed on the... more

Took this trip out to the reef on the recommendation of our hotel who described it as the best value day tour...and we weren't disappointed! For less than most of the other operators were charging just for the day trip, you also had either an introductory dive or guided snorkel included in the price (which were costing anything from an... more

Here is the deal. Yes the price sounds fair if you want to do the included dive. I am looking for value though. The boat is showing it's age. The included BBQ breakfast literally consisted of a big bun with one egg and some ham/bacon. That's it. Oh and did I mention the limit one sign? Lunch was one chicken... more

October 2009: This has to be the best day I've had so far in Australia. Was my first time snorkeling and diving. I'm not a confident swimmer at all and have a little phobia of water but not after today. The staff were amazing-so helpful and kind. The instructor took me on a one to one basis and was so... more

My partner and I are both from Florida, so we know about snorkeling and were looking for a company without all the fancy glitter they add to the packages to drive up the price. If you want a boat and crew that are going to take you to Great reefs and let you snorkel/dive to your heart's content...this is your... more

The crew were great. They all obviously love their jobs and were very happy, helpful and fun. It was my first time snorkeling and I found the experience awesome. I was well prepared by the staff and felt very safe the entire time. I recommend this trip to everyone. more
