    A brilliant tour absolutely packed with amazing experiences and bucket list activities. So well organised and making instant friends whilst travelling was just the best. I can’t fault it, and our leader Elliot went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having the best time- he was amazing!

    I have just finished my 5 week east cost tour and it was just like a movie. I was able to see so many beautiful places and got to know so many lovely people who I already miss. First and foremost Jenn. She was not only a wonderful tour guide but has also become a really good friend. Thanks for everything Jenn you were amazing!!

    "For the price and the time we had, this tour was hands down the best choice! The group was fun and very welcoming, but I want to shout-out Lauren, our guide. She wasn’t just incredibly knowledgeable and organized; she felt more like a close friend who made every moment special. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tour!

Best time to visit Great Barrier Reef

  • Winter 2024 / 2025
    Winter is ideal for diving; the water is clear and cool. You can also go whale watching without the crowds, making for a great vacation.
  • Spring 2025
    Spring brings vivid coral spawning and milder water temperatures. It's a bustling season, ideal for snorkeling along colorful fish and photography.
  • Summer 2025
    Summer sees warmer waters and some rain, perfect for long, relaxed drives. It's the best time for underwater clarity but be ready for jellyfish.
  • Fall / Autumn 2025
    Autumn offers comfortable temperatures and fewer tourists, ideal for a relaxing vacation. Enjoy excellent diving conditions and catch the tail end of coral spawning.
