We believe that stinger suits should be included in the pricing at this time of the year. Boat was very crowded and had trouble getting a seat to eat lunch etc. Great staff and had a fun day.

Really great trip, all the crew were enthusiastic and helpful. Had reservations when weather was so ordinary but the crew ensured we had a great day and reef was beautiful and onboard entertainment from \\\"Elvis\\\" on way back capped off the day. Would like to do again sometime.

The staffs are very friendly and helpful. A bit disappointed that the semi-submarine tour was cancelled due to the windy condition. This is a tour more suitable for young people without seasickness problems.

Very fast to get your response about all my queries, if not within one hour, it would be the first email the next day (in terms of the time difference) where I booked the tour in another country. . Thanks, Emma Lodge, the friendly consultant.

What can I say...my trip on the Osprey v was absolutely fantastic!!!!
I cant say enough about how wonderful my first trip out to the Barrier Reef was!
Ther are so many different boats going out to the reef it is a little overwhelming, not knowing which service to pick etc.I choose the Osprey V from the tourism website as it seemed like the the best value for money and offered reasonable facilities.I could not have choosen a better boat trip!!!
The whole reason for this trip was so I could take my ill father (who was once a dive instructor) out to see the reef as he had never had the chance to dive it.
All the staff were unbelievably attentive, and fantastic at there jobs!!!
My father can no longer dive so we snorkled on a guided tour were one of the staff led us around. It was just fantastic!!! The dive spots were amazing!!!
Every need was taken care of...even lunch was awesome!!!The boat was huge and an absolute plus for me was the fact that you could sit up on top of the boat, out in the open air!Not trapped inside for 2 hours... ( I am prone to seasickness so this was great!!!)
I can not express my gratitude enough to the staff who were so wonderful and helpful with my father, helping make this trip a memorable one.
I highly reccomend this trip as a fantastic day out on the Great Barrier Reef. This trip is less expensive than some but Im sure offers a whole lot more!!!

The Staff were fabulous. They made everyone feel very comfortable and even the non-swimmers were given a tour of the reef. We will definately return.

Had great fun, young crowd of people (mostly backpackers), boat was clean and comfortable(no seasickness as we had a calm day), staff were friendly and helpful, reef was simply amazing, introductory dives were fantastic. Will do it again, and would highly recommend it. The boat is not \"flashy\" but is practical and comfortable and the trip is a great way to see the reef - good value for $.
