Customer Reviews
- Tracey· May 13th, 2023This tour was excellent. The skipper and crew worked seamlessly through some rough weather to ensure we had the best opportunity to view the reef with comfortable, clean, and safe accomodations onboard. Exceeded all of my expectations, particularly the chance to discover dive with Christine and the delicious food prepared by Zoe and Joost, who also kept us entertained with his fantastic music selection between dives. Good vibes from everyone working with us really made the trip special!Show more

Rhonda
Asked on May 4th, 2025where is the nearest airport? I also am wondering if there will be opportunity to snorkel in the great barrier reef?
ContikiOperator•Written May 2025The preferred arrival airport for this tour in Airlie Beach is Whitsunday Coast Airport/Proserpine (PPP). On Day 8, there is an Optional Experience 'Great Barrier Reef Cruise' where you can go snorkeling. This can be booked through the Travel Director on the commencement of the tour and is subject to availability.
