The guides were brilliant, explained to us exactly what we were going to be doing and at what times and were very friendly.

The only drawbacks were that the lunch was awful - like really bad. I would have also appreciated a little more education about the reef itself. But overall, this company was great and made for an amazing experience.”

“Great tour, amazing views and sights! Simon H was an excellent guide, friendly, good storyteller and safe driver. It’s a long day but doesn’t feel too long with the frequent stops. The timing was a bit off at the end of the tour (the stop at Loch Ard and for supper afterwards were a bit rushed) but otherwise a well planned day. I give 4 stars rather than 5 because of the lack of leg room space on the bus, quite uncomfortable for someone 6’4” like me. Great tour otherwise.”
