Het was echt een ervaring om nooit te vergeten. Iedere groep had een andere volgorde van het programma zodat je de informatie volop mee kon krijgen. De wandeling over het eiland was echt de moeite waard. De informatie die de marine bioloog Bella vertelde was inhoudelijk heel interessant en educatief. Tijdens de gehele Tour wordt er steeds informatie gegeven hoe wij zelf bij kunnen dragen aan het behoud van great barrier reef. De boottocht met de glasbodem boot was ook leuk zeker ook voor kinderen. En het snorkelen was de kers op de taart! Wat ongelofelijk mooi. Zelf ben ik een goede zwemmer maar om vooral te kunnen genieten hebben wij een surfplank gehuurd en een reddingsvest zodat je gemakkelijk blijft drijven. Echt een aanrader. Het personeel is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ik was aangenaam verrast door de lunch. Heel gezond met heel veel groenten naast de keuze aan vlees. OnAustralisch gezond ha ha. Echt een aanrader ook met kinderen.

We had a wonderful day out on the Lady Musgrave Experience. The tour was very well organised so everyone had maximum time in the water to snorkel. We had a perfect day, great visibility in the water and saw turtles and a vast array of other marine life and to top it off got some whale action close by on our ride back to mainland. Thanks so much!

Worth every cent! Experienced, knowledgeable and friendly staff onboard. Amazing place to snorkel, very kid friendly, excellent buffet lunch and the marine life we got to see will stay long in the memory bank. A full day out and worth coming on a trip to Bundaberg just for this experience!

The boats is glass windows everywhere possible. Windows are well kept for best of views. The glass bottom boat and lower level observation deck of primary boat are clear well kept glass also. I felt safe snorkeling. The food was just right for being on a boat, not to heavy yet filling with plenty of protein, veges & fruit. Nice meals. All the free coffee, tea and hot chocalate to keep you warm. Great crew, very friendly & accomodating. Bathrooms were roomy and clean. Nice memory !

We had a fantastic couple of days visiting Lady Musgrave Island and then whale watching. We enjoyed it all, but the highlight was snorkelling on the reef. Thanks so much to Lea for helping us out when we were looking nervous, and making sure we had a fantastic experience.
