We were hesitating between Aristocat, Quicksilver and Poseidon for our diving in the Great Barrier Reef. We finally chose Aristocat as we were told by the tour agency that their boat was faster, more confortable and had some extras (expresso coffee machine and lockers). We were very much disappointed by the whole experience. The staff was not especially helpful and... more

We had been out on Wavelength, which was terrific, but wanted to go to a different reef. We chose Aristocat because the person who answered the phone was the best of the 3 we called. Unfortunately, the crew on the actual boat were not friendly. Not once did I see one of them smile or be friendly to the passengers.... more

We had great time on Aristocat - wonderful snorkeling sites, friendly and helpful crew, comfortable boat. Would definitely recommend. more

We did a reef trip on Aristocat after getting a good deal for a combination of tours at a tour shop in town. The boat is new and very smooth through the water. However, I had been on Wavelength on my last visit (which only caters for snorkellers) and I regret not choosing it this time. While the Aristocat staff... more

Being avid surfers and divers, we have done many of these sort of trips, but would still like to say that without doubt we thoroughly enjoyed this day out with this company. Attentive staff, great sites and an uncrowded boat. It may take 100 or more, but there would have been no more than 40 on board, so you could... more

I can only echo previous reviews, but feel it's still worthwhile contributing as we were a group of 4: 2 adults, a 15yo & 12 yo. We were all quite delighted with what was on offer. We never felt cramped because they don't book to full capacity. There was plenty of food for hungry boys and the crew were all... more

My daughter and I recently took a snorkelling trip with Aristocat from Port Douglas. The previous two days' trips had been cancelled, due to stormy weather, so the sea was quite choppy. This didn't stop us having the most wonderful day. The boat took us to three sites and we could snorkel or dive for about an hour to one... more

My wife and I took the Aristocat to the Agincourt reef. She snorkeled and I dove and we both had a great day. Aristocat is one of the smaller boats that go to the outer reef so we didn't feel like it was too crowded at the dive/snorkel sites. The diving was pretty basic and shallow but about what I... more

My partner and I took this full day outer reef tour on a recent trip to Port Douglas. We couldn't fault the tour - from staff to snorkel/dive sites/ to lunch/ to the boat and equipment, everything exceeded our expectations. The boat isn't as big as some of the others (e.g.Quicksilver) and that is a good thing as it means... more
