This trip was exceptional. All staff went above and beyond. After the first snorkel, I was given a wet suit and different mask. I didn’t ask for either item but the staff are so attentive, they know exactly what each person needs (I tend to get cold easily so having the wet suit over the stinger suit gave loads of extra warmth). Additionally, the lunch, coffee, and snacks were delicious. There was a photographer on board who took a photo of everyone underwater and you could purchase these photos. The reef presentation given during the return ride was well-researched and executed. Well worth the listen. This cruise line is locally owned and operated and they donate to reef conservation efforts. In my opinion, if you’re going to explore the reef, there is no better company than this! Thank you all for going above and beyond! :)

It was an amazing day snorkelling even though I’m not a strong swimmer I could still enjoy the day and see the reef. Renee is lovely, pointed out fish and checked on us. The food was so good (fruit, biscuits, tea, coffee, pasta). Would recommend to anyone!

I was so impressed with everything today. The crew were phenomenal and couldn’t do enough to make our day great, shout out to Hannah who sat with my girls for half an hour telling stories about the fish and coral we had seen that day. They were unfailingly kind and generous with their time and we had a brilliant day despite really big swell!

My friends and I had the best day. The Passion staff were just so accommodating. I had a group of 8 people, they reserved a table for us and gave us a team member to assist. Our team leaders was Renee and Hannah, they were great. Fabulous day had by all. Thanks

Even though the weather did not cooperate, the crew did a fabulous job and we got to view the GBR. The crew was attentive and supportive to guests with a wide range of capabilities. The lunch was delicious and there was plenty of seating for our group of about 90 guests . I can’t name all the crew, butSimon was particularly helpful to us, Vinnie shared details about the boat and others answered all our questions . Highly recommend taking preventative measures for motion sickness!

The weather was too bad. The boat ride was not enjoyable due to the weather. Vision at the reef was not oke.
I'm sorry we did not cancel. It was way too much money for what we got to see. They should have canceled the trip.

Despite the adverse conditions the crew worked very hard to enable a great trip and experience. The boat is great and the smaller more intimate size of the party allows a better experience. The crew also make sure every one is catered for including less advanced swimmers and snorkelers and people with medical conditions get closer supervision.
