54321 Amazing!! From the time we were picked up and returned to our hotel was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Marty (hoping I’ve got that right) was so knowledgeable, helpful and easy to talk to, he made our day even better. The snorkelling was so so amazing, amongst all the wonderful coloured fish we spotted turtles and even a black tipped fin shark! We will treasure the memories from Lady Elliott Island forever.

54321 I brought my 10 year old son here who had visited all the theme parks in the Gold Coast days before but this trip to him was hands down the best out of them all and I have to agree! Uji our guide was incredible and my son and I both walked away from this very special experience all the more richer in memories and knowledge. The price is absolutely worth it and the trip itself is perfect if you are on a tight schedule. Thanks again to Uji and the team at Lady Elliot!

54321 We had a wonderful day tour and would highly recommend it to others who might have time constraints and are unable to stay overnight on the reef. Uji was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful!

54321 Our day trip to Lady Elliott Island was amazing thanks to our friendly and accommodating guide Yuji. He did outstanding job trying to make our trip as best as possible beginning from morning time pick up at the hotel; following very interesting flight, on the island he was very hospitable and knowledgeable. We had great time and we can recommend this trip to anyone who want to have memorable experience.

54321 Absolutely amazing day trip – got to swim with turtles a number of times around the island. An unforgettable experience!

54321 Ugi was our tour guide for the whole day. He picked us up on time, was friendly and knowledgeable. The plane ride provided beautiful scenery and the island was beautiful. The tour included all the equipment so you didn’t really need to bring anything except your bathing suit. We wish we had more time to explore the island. We understood the need to adhere to a timeline, but maybe leaving a little later from the island would allow the participants to feel more relaxed. Overall a great experience and one that we will do again!
