Best snorkellling & diving experience ever in great barrier reef by locally owned business! Must Try

5.00Best snorkelling and diving experience. Great Barrier Reef is better than we thought 1. Crew was amazing, extreme care was taken to make every activity feel safe and they are one of the few locally owned businesses in the area. 2. Scuba diving instructor was great. We managed to see a turtle. As first time divers we felt very safe and prepared 3. We even had a snorkelling instructor to show us around pretty corals. We also saw a reef shark and some pretty fish 4. Food was tasty too, lot of vegan options 5. There was a presentation by marine biologist to educate us about what we saw. Very informative
Stunning Reef, Stellar Crew

5.00The crew was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. The snorkeling sites at Hastings Reef had stunning coral and an amazing variety of fish. They also gave an interesting talk on the Great Barrier Reef that covered a variety of topics including its overall health. And the lunch was very good with a great selection of fresh salads and two hot options. Such a wonderful day out!
Highly recommended experience.

5.00An awesome experience. Despite us being inexperienced, we were put at ease. Every detail was carefully planned. We a genui had a relaxed day and enjoyed snorkeling safely. Our first time ever. Lea helped us identify the fish and educated us about the corals and reef. Thank you for a fantastic experience. Food was brilliant too. We'll catered for vegetarians.
Passionate crew + amazing experience!

5.00The trip was amazing - everything was so well run and felt like you were safe at all times. We managed to see sharks, turtles, rays, and lots of beautiful fish! The crew are so obviously passionate about what they do and the environment they care for, loved the educational presentation at the end too! Would highly recommend to support one of the few locally run family businesses that do these tours. Big shout out to Simon who kept us company whilst one of the party was violently sick, Julia who gave us some great tips for our holiday, and Phoebe who was an all round weapon and found us our missing glasses!!
It was quite windy which...

5.00It was quite windy which caused choppy seas. Weather conditions can be unpredictable. The crew was wonderful and very accommodating.
Great trip

5.00We had a great time on this snorkeling trip. There was plenty of room on the boat. The places where we snorkeled were well picked and we saw lots of fish and corals. We were the only boat there, so it was not too crowded. The crew was very thorough in making sure everyone was on board before leaving a site. Lunch was tasty and there was plenty to eat and drink. We even had a marine biologist and n board who provided eco snorkeling tours and gave a presentation about the reef. The boat is one of the few privately owned boats left in the area and puts great emphasis on sustainabiliy. A cause well worth to support. Overall I would very much recommend this trip. One word of caution: in Australia the sun is 3-4 times stronger than anywhere else and, while being in the cool water, its effect can be easily underestimated which can lead to heat exhaustion (vomiting and dizziness).
A great day on Hastings Reef

5.00We had a great day on the Great Barrier Reef with Passions of Paradise. Check-in was quick and easy. Once on the boat they provided coffee or tea, fruit, and cookies. They have you fill out a form and due to taking meds we were put in a group with a guide. At first I didn’t like that they were restricting me, but it turned out to be to our advantage. Simon (our guide) worked hard to show our small group everything he could find on the reef, from a crab that hides in a ‘cauliflower’ coral and disguises itself so well it’s nearly impossible to see, parrot fish, angels, a shark, and lots of other fish and corals. He pointed out the hard to see items and answered our questions about what fish we were seeing. He helped us really get the best out of the trip. The crew was very attentive to everyone’s needs and the lunch included both hot and cold options. Simon noticed that my wife’s mask was leaking and made sure she had a different mask that corrected this for the second session.. This personal care was greatly appreciated. Due to weather we stayed at just one location but a different path allowed us to see different and in some cases more fish. This ship usually moves to a different area on the reef. On the way back the marine biologist gave a talk about the reef and conservation efforts. I’d go with this tour group again, they really worked to make sure that everyone had a good time. If you have health issues, they work to make it as safe as can be and having a guide with years of experience was a plus. Highly recommend using this company for your visit to the reef from Cairns.
Fabulous

5.00Extremely excellent. The crew is fabulous. Well informed. Proactive about making sure the trip is great without being intrusive. Safety conscious. Knowledgeable. I had a reservation issue that was not their fault and they dealt with it quickly and generously
Great day's diving in Cairns

5.00Two guided scuba dives led by Corinda. She was the consummate professional - knew her stuff and the reef, but most importantly, made the dives easy and fun regardless of the skill level of the divers in her group. Great diving and a great day out :-) I have dived with the Passions time a few times and they have always been smooth, professional, fun and easy to be with.
I would give this 6 stars if I could, would definitely recommend.

5.00Could not recommend this boat tour enough. One of the last local family owned tours in Cairns and it was an amazing experience. Everything was excellent, from the boat itself to the food and to the scuba instructors. There is a marine biologist on the boat as well that gives a presentation about the reef and fish for anyone interested and I found it really interesting. You could just tell how much the team loves the ocean and cares about reef conservation and protecting the environment. I would give this 6 stars if I could, definitely recommend
