  What an amazing day. From the pick up from our hotel to drop off. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. Food was fantastic especially the lunch provided. Snorkeling at three different reefs for an hour each was definitely worth it. Saw soooo much sealife. Would highly recommend.

  Yesterday we took our 2 young boys - 5 and 10 on the full day reef tour - Wow!! The crew were so wonderfully accommodating and patient, both boys...and mum and dad had an awesome day! The reef is just spectacular and the crew so knowledgeable. We'd have no hesitation in recommending this tour - special thanks to Seb, Kelsi and the captain..Cameron!

  Beautifull experience! Me and my friends enjoyed the full experience! Some of us did the snorkeling, other two diving and another one the introductory dive! We were able to combine different activities according to each of us! Special shout out to Pamela, she was amazing! Always caring about the diving and about us! Always in a good mood and cheerful! The divinigs were really fun and we were able to see interesting stuff! Thank you so much!

  My family and I took the Outer Great Barrier Reef Cruise on the Calypso Blue in November 2021. It was a fantastic trip from beginning to end. We stopped at three reefs for snorkelling. The reefs were full of stunning coral and beautiful fish. We spent about an hour at each reef. The crew are friendly and very knowledgeable about the reef and all things diving. The boat is a large catamaran with a seated area inside and space at the front. The boat was spotless and very well maintained. All the diving gear was all new and clean ready to use There was food and drinks included throughout the trip. Very happy we took the trip, thoroughly recommended.

  Had the pleasure to spend a day aboard Calypso Ten yesterday. From the start of boarding, thru until we disembarked late in the afternoon, I had a great time. Once everyone was on board, Seb..."Cruise Director" for the day... gave everyone a rundown on how the boat ran, a few rules and regs, and a full safety briefing. He kept it light and amusing, but got all the important information across. And he could probably do it all again in french, if he needed to! All the crew were friendly, and enthusiastic. Best part was that they all happily interacted with their guests, which added a lot to the casual, and fun feeling across the boat. Too often on dive boats the crew just get on with their jobs, and avoid contact with those onboard; not on Calypso Ten. They managed every situation beautifully, and showed lots of care and interest for everyone on board. I was diving, and have to give a big shout out to Bronte, our divemaster. With the skipper, they selected 3 wonderful dive sites, and all the divers returned from each just amazed at what they had seen. Sharks, turtles, lobsters, myriad tropical fish, and plenty of healthy coral. She really knows her trade. Food was good, seas were smooth and I doubt anyone could have reason to say they hadn't had a great experience, whether they were snorkeler, Discovery divers, or certified divers. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to let divers do a giant stride entry off the dive deck, rather than having to get down on the swim platform; it's hard work for us old guys!

  Amazing day out with the Calypso crew. After a really terrible year for our family this trip made it end on a high note that we really needed, so thank you! We have done several reef trips over the years and this one definitely rates at the top of the list. I was a little nervous from not having dived for 23 years but by the end of the intro chat, I knew I was in good hands and had nothing to worry about. My son had his first dives and loved it. We capped off the day with a snorkel at the last stop which was also enjoyable, swimming with a turtle. The boat is well set up for divers and snorkelling so great if your group has a variety of needs. Thanks to Kevin, Bronte, Seb, Rob and team.

  We booked Calypso for some diving whilst visiting Port Douglas, despite the bookings being quite, they still ran the boats to cater for customers that they had. Now the service and expertise is the staff is nothing short of exceptional, Skipper Cam knows his way around, boat host Seb is from Quebec and is hilarious, and makes the safety briefing fun. Now the diving, we dove with Pamela, Brontë, Kevin and Rob, all I can say is wow. Thorough knowledge of the six sites we dived over two days, and made us feel noting but comfortable from myself as an experienced diver to my partner who did 6 introduction dives, she loved it and is getting certified as soon as we get home! Thanks so much to the whole team at Calypso, even the booking staff were nothing but warm and helpful. 6 stars ⭐️ Mark and Ally

  We have just got back from an amazing day snorkelling and diving on the reef with Calypso! The crew - Lisa, Seb, Kevin, Ludi and Pamela - were all fantastic; knowledgeable, fun and professional. The 3 snorkels/dives were beautiful. Pamela was a fantastic guide for the dives and Ludi was also fantastic for the snorkels. Couldn’t recommend these guys more highly. Thanks for a memorable experience. Liz and JJ
