    This tour has been amazing full of so many crazy moments and bucket list memories! If you are wanting to make the most of the trip you will need to budget more than you think to do the optional extras and enjoy the meals out. You will make friends for life on this tour. Elliot and Paula were amazing and it wouldn’t have been the same without them!

    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!!

    "This was my first time ever solo traveling l, I honestly can say it couldn’t have gone any better! From the minute I booked the tour, my amazing guide Elliot was there for any questions I had and he made me feel so at ease! Every aspect of the tour was better than I could have ever imagined, and that was all down to Elliot being the fun and silly guide that he is!

    "Justin was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable regarding aspects of Australia and even if he didn't know the answer, he made his answer convincing. LOL. The fellow group of travels were very diverse but got a long so well that it made so pleasurable. Would I do it again.....?? Highly recommend this trip Lynn

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.
