    Kiera and Isaac were great. Made awkward swimmers feel very comfortable and supported. Great that wetsuits were available

    My partner was injured walking to boat at marina and we could not go. Tried to go the next day but the operator said not possible due to nature of booking. No refund either. Very poor service. Would not recommend to anyone.

    We had to cancel due to possible covid 19. We did not recurved a refund from the operator and Viator are saying they will not issue a refund or credit. This is disgraceful.

    Awesome trip and fantastic crew especially looking after everyone with the bumpy ride back. Beautiful spot to snorkel and see amazing sea life including a massive turtle! 🐠🐢

  7. Jill_B

    The introductory talk by the crew about the sea life was excellent. Not too complicated but informative. It meant that swimming with a snorkel was a much richer experience. It is a privilege to see the beauty and diversity of the Mackay Coral Cay.

  8. Clayton_C

    An absolute sensational day!! Ticked all the boxes. Magical scenery, out of this world snorkelling and fantastic staff. Will be highly recommending this trip. Can’t thank you all enough for making our day!! Thank you. 🙌

    The crew was fantastic. Super knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent day trip to the reef. In winter months, make sure you pack some warm clothes.

    A great day from start to finish. Our guide Isaac was brilliant – really enthusiastic & pointed out things I’d never have seen. The highlight for us was watching a hammerhead hunting an eagle ray just off the cay – the hammerhead missed its lunch on that occasion. Humpbacks breaching, a very chilled green turtle and a breathtaking array of reef fish – marine heaven. Crew were all fabulous.
    It can get a bit bumpy so take tablets.
    I can not recommend this tour enough.
    All my pics are on an SD card which I’ll try & add at a later date.

    Great staff, nice boat, love that it has a limited number of people on board and amazing parts of the reef that you get to see.

  12. Odisseas_N

    Explanation of different species on board. Seeing turtles. Great staff on. Hotel pickup and drop off. Exploring the sand island.

  13. Roland_W

    Great crew, great snorkelling, not to large a group and a fantastic day overall. Would highly recommend.

    If you want a personal, professional and wonderful experience then Sailaway is the only choice. Very small groups go out on a spacious and comfortable boat with professional and highly experienced crew members. They take the time to find out about your snorkeling experience and any medical issues you may have. They really take care of you and make you feel at ease if at all anxious. I cannot recommend this family run business enough and they are worlds apart from some of the giant boats with 400+ passengers. Brook our ‘leader’ and marine biologist was so informative and really took the time to ensure everyone was happy. So impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to book again when back in Port Douglas

    Amazing trip, the food was great, the marine biologist talk was super interesting and gave us a good idea of what we were looking at. The weather was incredible (obviously not by design but it definitely helped!) and we saw so much life and colour on the reef.

  16. Jennifer_P

    It was a beautiful boat with comfortable seating and the staff was friendly and attentive. The reef was spectacular! I also appreciated having a marine biologist on board to share information about the sea life and the special eco system the reef supports.

  17. Kim_T

    The whole experience was perfect and 100% better than the last time I went out on Quicksilver many years ago that was a terrible experience! It’s definitely worth the extra as the boat takes only 40 people. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There are 2 snorkel sites on stunning cays and you are not restricted to one small netted area like on Quicksilver! You won’t be disappointed this is the second time we’ve used Sailaway and would highly recommend 😊

    Wonderfull day very lucky with the weather. Knowledgeable and helpful staff.
    Not too green orientated although the origin of coral (CaCo2) could be explained to provide some balance.

  19. Chantel_C

    Absolutely incredible experience! Snorkeling was amazing 🐠 🪸 The crew were professional, educated, really good people! 🥰 See you next year Sailaway ❤️

  20. Anne_G

    Best snorkelling trip ever! Steve and his crew, especially Isaac, Erin, Alex went above and beyond to make this a fabulous day with a feel of personal attention.
    The weather was perfect, the boat was beautiful, snorkelling and visibility were outstanding. A truly magical experience and with a great lunch as well!
    I cannot rate this trip highly enough.

  21. Lisa_B

    Nice boat and crew! The GBR was incredible, my family saw giant clams, turtles, reef sharks, and beautiful blue/purple coral. The glass bottom boat was fun and being dropped off at the sand cay in the middle of the ocean was an amazing experience! Alex was so sweet to help me as I was a first time snorkeler and needed extra help as I have a bad knee. He gave 5 star service! Highly recommend.
