What immediately stood out on this particular tour, is that the boat was, actually, really well kept, neat, and tidy. Because let’s be frank, a fresh and tidy boat really does set a good vibe for the day! Getting space on board wasn’t a problem at all; I noticed that, there was a lot of room to walk around and just enjoy those views. So, talking about the crew, they really seemed into ensuring that everyone had, really, an amazing experience. With safety demonstrations and that kind of thing, they were clear and covered things properly, yet it didn’t get boring, like the kind you forget the second it’s done. Actually, the crew was quite good at, sort of, bringing a nice atmosphere to the whole boat too.

I’m of the opinion that friendly staff actually do really make quite a bit of difference in how much fun everyone ends up having. It’s as though the friendly vibes from them spread to all the passengers!

Snorkeling in Paradise: The Underwater World

For what this tour offered, the main draw surely has to be, that, getting a chance to go snorkeling right in the Keppel Islands. The snorkeling spot the boat took us to seemed, actually, spot on – the water looked amazing and there were lots of those colorful corals that people dream of when thinking of the Great Barrier Reef. Snorkeling gear was all ready for us when we got there, too, and it looked clean and easy to manage. Actually, even for the snorkeling newbies (like myself!), the crew offered tips, so it’s almost everything that you need. When I went in the water, I was blown away at the things I saw. I mean there were so many different types of fish! Colorful fish all around, some in groups and some doing their own thing, they were so pretty! The corals were really something to look at too; every color you can that you can think of, which is pretty wonderful. What made it even better was that the crew pointed out interesting stuff about the reef, so that you would be really get to know your underwater stuff. It was more or less that the snorkeling part alone would’ve already been good enough for a good recommendation!

This boat tour came with, basically, lunch included, which made everything far simpler. When it comes to the type of food available, well it really went past the basic food options, to be honest! There were things to eat that lots of people could enjoy, salads and fruits which, frankly, made things seem extra fresh. Also, they really did a great job making it certain that they had food choices for those that, often, have to stick to certain food restrictions, and this shows they care, right? The location to eat the food at made lunch all the better. Doing lunch whilst taking in all that clear blue water around Keppel Islands, well it might just add something more. Overall, I believe the lunch was all done very well, really topping off what was already an amazing trip.
