    We went on the 27th December'19. The entire trip was amazing. I wanted to especially thank my Scuba instructor Rhys. It was my first Scuba and I was scared and thought I won't do it after I went in the water but Rhys was so calm, encouraging and was very patient with me. Thanks to his confidence in me I did the second dive as well . Thanks Rhys I will come.again and dive with u

    We enjoyed a great day on the water and snorkelling the Barrier Reef with Compass. Most other companies were more than twice the price. The boat is a little older and a little slower than its competitors. However the staff were excellent and I particularly enjoyed their friendly banter. They were knowledgeable on what they offered and did their best to assist patrons to have a great experience. The lunch provided was gourmet and went down extremely well.

As a tentative swimmer, I really appreciated the attention given. Food was great. Snorkeling terrific! And an affordable price too! Might not be the newest boat in the fleet, but you don't need 5 star surroundings to have a 5 star experience. Highly recommended and I already have one friend lined up to book soon!

    Very supportive, professional, approachable crew and great attitude. I felt safe and comfortable the entire day. The reef was sensational. The lunch was amazing and wine and cheese on the way home was great.

    Great option if you’re looking to have an awesome day in the reef for a good price! Staff was so much fun, food was delicious and I felt like we had a perfect amount of time at each spot we snorkeled at. Highly recommend!

    We had a fantastic time on the reef. The crew was friendly and passionate towards their jobs. Captain Morgan did a great job in rough seas. Food was very good. Great day out and excellent value for money

    We went to the outer reef on 25th May Wow, what a great experience we had, staff were excellent in every aspect to make everyone’s day to be awesome, the snorkeling was out off this world, so amazing & even borrowing a glass bottom boat from another company so the group could see the beauty off the reef that couldn’t snorkel. The lunch was well prepared, with yummy salads & even wine, cheese & bickys on the way back & even a group photo at the end of the day. Thank you Compass Cruises for a wonderful experience. Great day

    Incredible experience. The crew was super kind, funny, and helpful, and the food was delicious! It was also so nice to have coffee, tea, and water always on hand. The snorkeling was super cool, BUT I highly recommend paying the extra money to scuba dive! So fascinating and worth the money!!

    I did the Great Barrier Reef Tour with Conpass Cruises two days ago. Weather forecast was not good, weather indeed was rainy and windy. Many people got seasick. But the crew was so awesome!!! They really took such good care of everyone. Even when a girl passed out they were really competent and stayed calm in the situation. Everyone felt so safe! The weather got better, they were so friendly, took their time for everyone. The food on board was perfect, too! They did really tasty salad and BBQ, there were fresh fruit, coffee, and later on even wine! The snorkeling at the two spots was unbelievable!!! One of the greatest experiences of my life! Even the sun came out, we saw so many beautiful fish! I just loved it! Everyone who travels Australia should see the Great Barrier Reef! And I totally recommend compass cruises!!!
