Calypso Reef Cruises Reviews

Professional, knowledgeable and fun crew. Smart, clean and comfortable boat and gear. We were well looked after and had a great day. Definitely recommend.

Our day trip with Calypso Tours around the Great Barrier Reef was next to none. All staff members are extremely professional, make you feel very welcome and safe and everybody had such a great time. The refs were stunning, the lunch and mourning tea were delicious. A huge and special thanks to Pam who guided us through our introductory dive and although we were very nervous she made us feel calm, safe and relaxed. We throughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend this tour! We will be back for sure. Thank you again

Well oiled machine. Helpful and patient staff. Good package. Good experience in the water. Relaxed vibe. Decent lunch. Job well done. Do recommend for snorkelling or diving on reef.

We went out for the full day reef tour with Calypso today, and while the weather wasn't ideal, it was still a lovely experience. We had two young children with us, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves too. The staff were friendly, professional and catered well to everyone on board. Would definitely recommend this company for families interested in a day out exploring the reef. Thank you for a great day :)

On my East Coast trip, we did a few different reef tours, both from Port Douglas, the Whitsunday's and 1770. Calypso was by far and away the best snorkelling tour we did, couldn't fault it in any way. The Calypso Blue boat is wonderful - it feels modern, clean and stable with lots and lots of space for sitting in, or out of, the sun. The snorkelling gear worked perfectly (this may sound like a small detail but poor gear can actually ruin a snorkelling experience). The 3 sites we were taken too were absolutely beautiful - an unforgettable experience. The whole day was planned excellently, it felt like there was no wasted time at all. Lastly, the crew were really friendly, and the food was very nice!

Friendly staff and great boat
I don't recommend the discovery scuba diving option, four people per instructor, we went just 8 Meters deep, we spent all the time learning basic instructions and no special views in the reef. Snorkeling option is 300% better

Had an awesome day out on the reef with Calypso, the staff and crew were fantastic and so accommodating, informative and outgoing which really topped off the day!
Great value day with almost everything included.
Would highly recommend Calypso if you want a great day out on the reef!

Had an amazing day out on the reef yesterday. The whole crew made you feel very welcome and were super friendly. Big shout out to Pam and Chris who made our day with our first ever scuba dive. Both made us feel super calm and relaxed and would 100% recommend them for anyone trying scuba for the first time.

My partner and I had a really great day with Calypso Reef Cruise. We did the snorkel tour and had absolutely no complaints. Great day with very knowledgeable staff and fabulous snorkelling spots where we were very clearly able to see the reef and wildlife. We even saw a reef shark! Lunch was fresh and yummy. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone thinking of exploring the Great Barrier Reef. Thanks Cam and the guys at Calypso Reef Cruises :-)

Amazing trip to Ribbon reefs. The team went above and beyond. We saw more/better oceanlife over one day with this operator than on an overnight trip with a different operator in Cairns. Huge thanks especially to Captain Pete! What a legend!
