This was the perfect reef trip for a family that has swimmers and non-swimmers. The swimmers snorkeled and did intro scub dive, saw many great fish and coral. I enjoyed many trips on the semi-submersible boat seeing all the fish and coral without getting wet. The staff, food, observatory were all great. It was well worth the money. Thanks for a trip we will remember a lifetime.

My trip to Fitzroy-Island was just awesome. People from travstar organised it very well. I just went to the check-in counter and got my boarding pass. So I really recommend it to book at travstar!

A good day out and as neither of us are swimmers we still did not feel excluded from taking advantage of the views.

The reef was amazing and the cruise was great. Unfortunately due to the rough weather i was very sick on the way there and back but still had a great time when we were up there.

Took the Family on thier first snorkling experience and found Sunlovers to be very informative and friendly. The reef was fantastic and got to swim with \\\"Emily\\\" the Turtle. What a honour. We had great weather and the kids at all times felt very safe and enjoyed thier day so much they didnt want to leave. Thankyou for a great experience and value for money.

Sunlover was an amazing day. The crew were very friendly and helpful. The snorkeling was something that you have to see to believe. It was like looking at a television screen. This day is something we will never forget. My daughter said \"It is a life changing experience.\" Thanks so much, we would recommend this cruise without a doubt.

I just wanted to drop you guys a line to say thanks for a great day on the reef last Thursday. I was delighted to join you on board and snorkel on the reef. Special thanks to Tina for her enthusiastic presenting style when instructing on scuba diving and the rules and regulations for the trip and also to the lovely Kate (the model from Vogue from memory) for her demos and friendly chat. Cheers guys, great day and well worth every cent!

Hi Charlie
Just wanted to drop a quick line to say a HUGE thank you to the Sunlover team (family!) in what was the high-light of our trip.
The boat, pontoon, lunch, sea life, etc, as well as all of the staff
were exceptional - no words can really describe it. Wally and the
turtles, just added to our perfect day and we have all come away with some fantastic photo's to let the day remain in focus!
Take care
Cheers

All the staff were friendly & helpful. We had a 4 yr old child with us & she was well catered for. She was able to go snorkelling & had a great time. We found nothing to complain about during our day on the reef.

I have to tell you our family loved Sun Lovers Tour at Moore Reef. The trip was exactly what we were looking for. We had plenty of time to snorkel on the GREAT BARRIER REEF!!!!!!!!! The Colors were vibrant and the marine life was plentiful. We had the chance to meet Wally (Biggest Fish ever) and the local regular turtles that hang around the reef. The crew showed sincere enthusiasm! Vance, Eddie, Samantha (? Not sure if that is her name but she worked behind the bar) and the Photographer (I hate that I can't remember his name) were the most enjoyable. The equipment we rented was in great shape and we had plenty of food to eat. YUM YUM! The location of the reef was perfect. The Fish were of all colors and sizes and there were creatures I've never seen.
There were families, singles and people of all ages. Something for everyone!!!!! The Boat may have not been new but it was clean!!!! The trip out to the reef was a bit rocky due to the wind but it was a quick ride. I have to say we were worn out by spending so much time on the Reef! We never felt rushed. It was truly a magical experience and a time of our life. Our trip exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend Sun Lovers to anyone.
Jo, I thank you for your time and effort in helping me with our vacation. Your patience and professionalism is greatly appreciated. Your honesty with what tours would be best for our family was right on. I am thankful that regardless of cost, your ultimate goal was to help and guide us to guarantee us with a dream vacation. Always remember that your job is very important because you have a hand in creating some of the most memorable times in people's lives.
GOOD ON YOU!!!!!
Cheers! Carolyn

Hi from the UK !
We have returned to the UK after a wonderful holiday in Australia. One of the highlights was seeing the Great Barrier Reef from one of your Sunlover Cruises. I would like to say a very big thank you to David, as without him I would not have overcome my fear of water or seen the wonders of the reef. He took me into the waters and reassured me that no harm would come to me. I have a fear of water and am a poor swimmer. No one has managed to get me into the water like David did. I just felt he was someone I could trust and I know that was down to his manner entirely.
On the whole, we (my husband and Mother in law) all had the most wonderful day with and it was certainly one we'll remember. Thanks to all of you and particularly David - he is a great asset to you. I hope he can be recognised for this.
Regards and best wishes from Anna Elviri-Knight
