There was no shortage of help or food on this tour, all staff were happy , smiling, and cheerful. Did the island tour, glass bottom tour, and some snorkeling. There was plenty of marine life like turtle, fish , and spotted a school of squid there too

Such a great day. Visit to Lady Musgrave Island and snorkeling on the great barrier reef. The crew was amazing. Food good and a lovely relaxing day. 2 hours to the Island and flexible options to tour the island or just snorkel to your heart's content. Very good for beginners
