My family and I were extremely impressed by our trip on the Ocean Spirit. Due to operational changes, we received an upgrade to the Michaelmas Cay tour and we had a brilliant day.. The service was impeccable and the staff were so genuine. The crew really wanted to make sure that every person on board had the best time possible. We had an amazing day and send a big thank you to the Ocean Spirit crew. A big thank you also to Natasha of Travstar for her wonderful organisation of our tour. The day was perfect from beginning to end.

Bad weather was a problem, such that snorkling was uncomfortable, but reasonably enjoyable. Lunch was lovely and delicious. Would not have missed the whole trip, in spite of the weather. We were not sea-sick though. Would recommend.

We were upgraded at the last minute to the all-day Michaelmas Cay excursion because of bad weather. It was a very memorable experience despite the inclemency. Onboard staff and facilities were excellent!

once again we were very well looked after on this trip the weather was a bit of a disapointment but everything else was great, the lunch was good and the snorkling was enjoyable.
with these two tours and the help your office gave us it made a weekend away perfect as we only needed to get to were you required us to be and everything else was taken care of.

Great staff on the boat, lovely food and the snorkelling was just what the doctor ordered.
Especially loved the Singing First Mate... the Aussie songs were fab !

We were upgraded to another ship by the dive company and dive site, Michaelmas Cay, which was wonderful. I would offer this upgrade to those booking a tour package because apparently it is a better place to dive.

We were upgraded to Michaelmas Cay on the Ocean Spirit. We had a great day. The staff were wonderful especially Kelly one of the dive instructors. She taught me to scuba dive. I am not a strong swimmer and have a slight fear of the water. She was very encouraging and I completed my first dive and enjoyed every minute of it.

Given an upgrade by the company, excellent day, though a little spoilt by the weather conditions. Once at the reef and snorkling awsome.

Comfortable, totally clean cruise ship and a lot of time given to snorkel or just lay back and get a tan! Comfortable number of people on the cruise that enables everyone to relax either outdoors or in the saloon. Amazing.

We were lucky enough to receive an upgrade to the Michaelmas Cay day trip. Even though the weather was a little unsettled going out we had the most amazing snorkeling experience which was the highlight of our trip. I would recommend Ocean Spirit to anyone they were just so professional and competent and certainly looked after their customers. We are still raving about this adventure to friends and family.

Make sure you book your upgrade from snorkelling to scuba before the day of your cruise. As we were charged the rate for the second dive for the introductory dive.

We received a free upgrade to Ocean Spirit 1 as we were more interested in snorkelling than scuba diving, which was very pleasing. Excellent craft, excellent service. Had a wonderful day.

very good only 9 to 1 crew, saw other boats packed. worth mentioning in winter you do need a wetsuit. might like to offer a boat that goes to an island, and you can swim off to view fish, or the pontoon. I have to say you were very looked after on this tour. on trying to find boat, people at quay directing you to the booking centre, only to be told there was no need. so please state for others, no need to go to this, but find the boat.

Excellent oportunity to do snorkling in two different places. Able to see different things. I would have prefered to stop in a small island/sand to enjoy even further.

This was an enjoyable trip with good support from the staff. My introductory dive ended up being a one-on-one custom trip down to the bottom where my guide pointed out sea anemones, clown fish, and other remarkable things. The lunch served on board was delicious. We very much enjoyed this trip.

The staff were amazing and helpful, the onboard service and facilities were excellent as were the prices of their drinks, all needs seemd to be catered for and we loved the fact that they offered a free introductory scuba, we tried it, loved it and then got to do a second dive for only $45.00 which by comparison of other companies I had researched was a great deal. Would recommend to everyone!!!!!
