Reviews
Our highlight was definitely going out on the reef with Ezzy the marine biologist. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made everyone feel at ease! Thanks so much!
Took my kids and grandchildren ages 6mths through to 32. They catered for everyone and we had a fantastic day
A great experience!
Second time for our family of 7 to the reef with Sunlover Cruises and will be back again.
Staff are amazing and food is great, first trip food was individual lunch packs this time it was buffet and was a great selection to choose from.
