Awesome day out & good service :)
I was thinking about it among many tour companies, but I used it because it was cheap and easy to make a reservation, and I was satisfied. To write down some helpful information, seasickness medicine is sold on the ship for $10 for 10 tablet, and I recommend you to take seasick medicine. I felt a little dizzy even if I took it. Maybe it's best to sleep while you're going. I went to two spots and I felt that the first spot was much more fishy and easier to see. It seems like we go to different points depending on the weather and situation, so this might change. When snorkeling, they attract fish and take a commemorative photo with the fish, but you can buy it for $20 later on. I don't usually do things like this, but the pictures came out well and I bought it to commemorate it. You can choose several tickets and buy them at around $80. Lunch was more delicious than I thought and it was enough. Coffee, muffins, shrimp, steak for lunch, etc. They give crackers, cheese, and wine on the way, so you don't have to worry about being hungry. I made a reservation including skin scuba diving, but I couldn't participate because the local company didn't recommend diving due to personal health problems, and they even handled the partial refund perfectly. I was moved by your kindness and prompt handling of the process. I didn't regret going on tour through iGoTravel and Down Under! I'm very satisfied! +) To recommend, I think it would be better to go on weekdays than weekends.

Delicious food, great snorkeling.
Cost-effectiveness level 100! I went well at a cheap price I got muffins and coffee when we first left, and after snorkeling, I really enjoyed the steak and fish salad. On the way back, I had wine, ate cookies & cheese, and had a free diving experience. I highly recommend it But if you're seasick, be careful.

Awesome day
Thanks to you, I made a reservation and had fun^^ A blogger said that Down Under is a good tour for people in their 20s and 30s to have fun. I think that's right Haha. I enjoyed Cairns' Great Barrier Reef to the fullest~! The lunch buffet was delicious, too!

It was an exciting and fun trip.
Go to the terminal by 7:45 and board for coffee, tea, and snacks on board. You leave after 8 o'clock, run for more than an hour, and go into the water at the first point! Swim hard and have a delicious lunch. Steak, shrimp, salad, etc Move to the 2nd point and go into the water again. The coral stretches endlessly in a variety of ways. There's a simple cookie and cheese after. If you buy drinks, drink, suntan, and doze off at the canteen, you will arrive at 4:30. The staff were so kind and it was an unforgettable trip.

It was an unforgettable and fun trip❤️
We had fun at the first point, had a delicious lunch of steak, shrimp, fish, and salad, went to the second point, snorkeling, and both places were so pretty that we lost track of time and played in the water. The ship staff were so kind that I had a great time!! Especially ⭐️ The employees of igotravel are so kind

Amazing Trip!
It was a really fun and active trip. A huge number of fish and coral reefs were really beautiful, and the lunch served was really nice. There is plenty of time for snorkeling and all the equipment is provided. If you want to drink, you'd better bring cash or a card, and you'll get snacks, cheese and free wine on the way back. It was a great and fun tour.
