Terrific
The Staff were great, willing to talk and interact. We’re very professional in their approach to safety and passenger numbers at all times. We’re informative and knowledgeable. The catamaran was clean, spacious and had nice clean amenities. The times given to snorkel and explore each site was more then sufficient. Food was great with a variety of cold meats and salads supplied in a mini buffet. All up it was a terrific experience. I highly recommend using Calypso for your Barrier Reef experience.

Calypso snorkel trip
Great trip with a fantastic crew. Highlights were the safari snorkel and the many insights of knowledge that was shared with us by the Marine Biologist, Kate. The crew kept good care of us all and we felt safe at all times.

Snorkelling on the reef
Snorkelling on the reef was beyond my dreams. The coral was absolutely beautiful and we saw an amazing variety of colourful fish—far more than I ever expected. We were even lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins The staff made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. I also joined a guided snorkelling tour, and our guide pointed out so many fascinating things underwater that we would never have noticed on our own. It made the experience even more special.I can’t recommend this trip highly enough. It was truly one of the highlights of our holiday!

Super Ausflug…
Es war ein wunderschöner Ausflug, tolle reef Tauchgänge mit unendlich vielen Fischen, eine sehr hilfsbereite Crew und prima Equipment. Es geht direkt vom Boot ins Wasser, an 3 tollen Spots. Die Gruppe war nicht groß- an Board ausreichend Platz, Kaffee & Snaks & Lunch taten sehr gut! Wir würden es jederzeit wieder buchen. Es lohnt sich.
