Amazing experience - a bit pricey when considering add one to a prepaid price
I loved basically every part of the whole experience. You get greeted by the amazing team of people, who take care of you during the whole day trip. It was my first time diving as well - they assured me everything is going to be alright, helped me with everything. You have all the food included, many options of it, the return drink, some snacks, equipment for snorkeling and diving. However, it's a pricey experience, even not considering the price you pay for just the experience. I mean that you have to pay for everything extra. Want a wetsuit if you are just snorkeling - $10, want your photos - up to $110, want to take photos with your phone, buy a waterproof pouch for $60 (it's around $10 in other places). Doesn't feel like much, but when you know that it's basically extra to what you already paid, it adds up to a lot. If not that, 5/5 stars experience and amazing team of people!

Nice and funny in the barrier reef cruise with Evolution
The ride was a bit bumpy but the crew member helped my friend to recover from seasick and all went so good. We did 2 stops with plenty of time to snorkel. Food was good although there wasn't much variety of choices, but still the hole experience is 100% recommended.

Very friendly crew and with superb good food!!!!!!
Food is amazing, with steaks, fish, salads, prawn and various choices of seafood… Even just for the boat trip and food and worth the price. There are many water activities with extra price can chose from. I take the helicopter. Nice deal at $199 for 10min...
