Amazing tour! We went to 2 incredibly beautiful outer reef sites. The catamaran is brand new and very spacious especially outside where they have plenty of decks to relax on. Crew members were great and very informative.
Great lunch buffet and afternoon cheese platter. Very competitive prices.
This is a "must do" for anyone visiting Cairns.response / report this review -

Great tour to do while in Cairns! I really enjoyed the day at the Great Barrier Reef and passions made sure everyone was having a fun day! I do recommend taking a sea sickness tablet if you are more prone to being sick, like me. I didn’t take it and I was sick for the first part of the boat ride but the ride home was completely smooth. The reef was so beautiful and I definitely enjoyed my day!

We had a great experience on our Snorkelling tour with Passions of Paradise. 9 hours fly by when you're having an amazing time on the nice catamaran and snorkelling the barrier reef. The crew were fun, very friendly and accommodating. The food was nice and the overall experience of the tour is the best I have been on for the price we paid. It was great that we went during 'winter' season in September since only 60 out of 120 people were on the catamaran. I would definitely take this tour again next time I visit Cairns.

Fantastic tour! The staff were exceptional and very knowledgeable about the reef ecosystem. I felt very safe and we were well looked after. We saw and got photos of 3 turtles and more tropical fish than we ever hoped. Will definitely go again

The Great Barrier Reef was amazing and there is no doubt that seeing it was worth the money. However, if I could do it all again I would probably choose a different cruise line. The crew was very rude and slightly abrasive, which really put a damper on the overall vibe of the trip.

We had a great time on the reef with passions of paradise despite some awful seasickness in the morning! Many people on the boat were sick and the crew were very helpful in taking care of them.
I'd really like to thank Reuben - the chef on board. I am coeliac and Reuben prepared separate dishes for me and understood the difference between gluten intolerance, lifestyle choices and Coeliac. If you're concerned about dietary requirements I'd highly recommend passions of paradise.
The reef sites were amazing. Missing it already!response / report this review -

Friendly, happy, instructors make this a great choice amongst the crowds of reef cruises available. The catamaran is brand new, the reef stops well chosen, and the lunch is cooked fresh on board.
Geared for inexperienced/total newbie divers, they have intro "try before you buy" dives, as well as snorkeling. Discounts may be available if pre-purchased; in any case, the price was the best we found, and the service top-notch.

This is the best team of people to go out to the reef with. They are very professional in what they do. What I like best is the crew makes an effort to know you and your name. I watched the crew moving around on the boat learning people names and asking for confirmation if they got it right!. Also they are very friendly bunch of people and took really good care of you and make you feel very welcome. Everyone works on the boat give me an impression that they wanted to be there and not treating us like"just another tourist". I will definitely come back again with my family and friends. Well done Passion of the Reef. But one think I want to mention is regarding to your phone enquiry is not very good at all. I called trying to change my trip because I got 5 more friends that want to come with me but the lady on the phone said I cannot do that and I mentioned I got 5 more friends that want to come but to her she couldnt careless. This is on opportunity lost for Passion of Paradise. If it was me I would have try to work options to accommodate and increase sales. But sounds to me the lady on the phone dont work for Passion of Paradise.

Thanks so much! I did not only had a great day on the Katamaran but also did I had a great day with the team of passions. They really make you feel comfortable and even host special diets. The Food is amazing!!! I never snorkled before but there are so many people helping and explaining. The snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef was awesome in both locations. and big thanks to Jeff the skipper who let me play pirate :) Simon gave a great information talk about the Great Barrier Reef and we could ask anything. It was great to learn what we can do to protect the Reef! I am really happy that he covered that topic as well :)
Thanks for the amazing day! I highly recommend you guys to everyone.
Cheers

Great experience. My only complaint is this boat is very slow compared to others which means lots of wait time traveling to/from the reef and less time in the water. Crew was very polite and helpful. Food was delicious.
