What people are saying about Queensland

Fantastic trip. Absolutely no regrets. Worth every cent. By the way you only need to worry about the scuba certification if you're diving. Ignore the prompts if you're snorkeling only. They let you try diving on the day. Do it. So worth it.

A really good way to see a lot of things in a day. Stew was our guide. A really funny guy, putting his heart in his work and knowing a lot of things about the places we visit and the things we saw. Thank you very much!

The tour was awesome! Loved the rooftop deck. Had enough time to explore under the sea. Just the seats were a lil bit narrow and there was no sofa couch like the pics.

Excellent time out on the boat, lots to see lots to learn Thanks guys

The tour was well organized and our guide Andrew was great.
