My partner really enjoyed the day with Calypso; I was disappointed. He wanted to get out to the Great Barrier Reef and go snorkeling. The boat was fast and well-equipped for that purpose, and he was happy. I thought that the crew went through the checklist of promised amenities in a perfunctory way. They seemed numbed by having hosted hundreds... more

Great cruise - everyone must see the reef - you must jump in the water and at least snorkel - a highlight of our aussie trip .This cruise is one of many you can take - we loved the cruise .Make sure you choose a sunny day ,as the fish and coral don't llok as nice under clouy skies. This... more

Just back from a fabulous week's holiday in Port Douglas where the highlight was a day snorkelling/diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Like some of the other reviewers, we were recommended Calypso by our hotel and were very impressed by the whole outfit. The boat has a capacity of about 120 but I think only carried about 70. There is... more

Wow, we thoroughly enjoyed our day out with Calypso. We are a family of 4 with two teens, and had varied advice from others as to whether to go with a big or small company, our resort recommended Calypso and we agree with their advice - huge boat, heaps of room to spread out, great friendly staff who take an... more

We had researched the options to visit the reef and determined we didnt' want to be on a huge boat with hundereds of other people.

This is our second trip to Port Douglas and a must do is go out to the reef. This time we went out with Calypso. We had a really great day. My husband and I both chose to dive but when I got in the water with all the gear on I did not feel comfortable. There was no pressure... more

We went diving and snorkelling with Calypso this week in Port Douglas and loved it. It is my 3rd trip with them over the past 5 years and they have consistently delivered great service, personal attention, a relaxed and low-key approach. Their new boat is fantastic and very stable. They have a policy to not fill their boats to max... more

A personally tailored, not overcrowded, diving trip on the Great Barrier Reef. Superb instruction and friendly staff dealing with variety of experience from novice snorkellers to qualified divers. Excellent lunch provided. Beautiful boat, spotlessly clean in all departments. Can highly recommend this outfit. more

Had a great time out on the Opal Reef with Calypso. Nice spacious boat with 2 level seating. Free wetsuits and the best customer service. I cannot swim and have a back injury that prevented me from getting around the reef. I went because the people I was with wanted me to experience the reef. Mick (one of the staff)... more
