The best option among all. Great experience. Highly recommended.

Such a great experience and something that can't be missed. The corals are so beautiful. Nice for family. Semi-submarine and glass boat for young kids. Had experience with other similar trips to Moore Reef but this is the best one ever. Amazing presentation with cultural and reef. Smooth arrangements, well organised. Ticket and SMS are sent through prior, you don't need to spare time to confirm or line up for tickets. Friendly staff with happy faces. Food is awesome.

Friendly staff who made sure you were comfortable and had the best experience.

Had such a great time, the staff were friendly and helpful and always available and approachable. The food was good on board the Platoon. Snorkeling was breathtaking. So much to see and such a huge variety of fish to see. Can not fault the experience and would definitely do it again.

Dive into a world of wonder at the Great Barrier Reef - an unforgettable snorkeling experience.

I recently had the pleasure of snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef with Reef Magic and it was an incredible experience. The location we visited was easily accessible and the water was crystal clear. The marine life was abundant and diverse, with colorful fish, coral, and even sea turtles swimming alongside us. The equipment provided was of high quality and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. Safety was clearly a priority, with a thorough briefing provided before the activity and experienced guides in the water with us at all times. It was reassuring to know that we were in good hands. One standout moment was encountering a school of vibrant clownfish darting in and out of their anemone homes. It was like being in our own private Finding Nemo scene. The underwater scenery was breathtaking and I couldn't help but be in awe of the natural beauty that surrounded us. Aside from snorkeling, there were also other amenities such as food and beverages available, as well as underwater photography services. It was a well-rounded and unforgettable experience. Overall, I highly recommend Reef Magic to anyone who has the opportunity. It's a must-do activity that allows you to witness the stunning biodiversity of this world-renowned natural wonder.
