Great experience with both the Reef Dive & Helicopter Ride.
It was from Down under the Cruise & Dive company. Had been to 3 snorkelling & 1 Scuba Dive. Cruise crew were great & explaining the details. Cruise was spacious & helicopter ride was excellent to having the magnificant view of Great Barrier Reef. Vegetarian food option can be improved.

Ok day but bad weather and cancellation of helicopter
It was not the best day for the weather but could not be helped. The second stop was the best coral experience and fish varieties. Unfortunately, we also booked the helicopter tour but was cancelled due to the visibility. Would have been nice to be asked if wanted to pay extra and get flown back instead of the rough trip back but he just left. The food was awesome though and all the crew were fantastic. Never trust Cairns weather lol, as booked the night before as it was meant to be fine but was the total opposite. Would definitely recommend it on a clear day.
