Down Under Cruise & Dive

Amazing tour. Sadly the helicopter ride has been cancelled due to the bad weather.

Amazing tour

We did everything this deal has to offer. And when I say everything I mean everything! It was amazing! I'm a certified diver so I opted for the dive, snorkling and get high package. Once on the boat I got an option to book a second ($30) and even third dive ($20). So basically my day was a bit like this : dive 1, snorkel, lunch, helicopterflight, dive 2, trip back with a glass of wine and some cheese and crackers. 

The views from the helicopter are to die for, my partner even spotted 3 seaturtles on his flight. He was also lucky enough to spot 1 seaturtle while snorkling. 

Most definitely would recommend this tour!

We did everything this deal

This was one of the most amazing experiences for me. Snorkeling and seeing al the beautifull fish and even a green turtle. After that we did a dive which was awesome and finished with an awesome heli ride. Note: you might not have the possibility to do a second dive if you do it all, and you have less time snorkeling so you will get in a maximum of 1,5-2 hours snorkling :)

Incredible experience

Amazing day trip, the helicopter and diving was definitely worth the money! The staff was really helpful and very nice!

Amazing!
