An excellent trip all round
Monday, August 23, 2010

An excellent trip all round. The crew were all very knowledgable,luch was great and most of all the snorkelling was well organised with plenty to see.

The day was perfect from beginning to end.
Sunday, August 22, 2010

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.

Would recommend
Tuesday, August 03, 2010

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.

It was a very memorable experience
Tuesday, June 22, 2010

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!

we were very well looked after
Monday, June 21, 2010

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.

Very good deal and beautiful place!

We had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was lovely. The food was good, and the reef was amazing. We even got to scuba dive...how cool! Great day!

just what the doctor ordered
Friday, May 21, 2010

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 !
thanks - you made a 50th birthday just that extra bit special!!!

fantastic day
Tuesday, May 18, 2010

fantastic day , great lunch excellent customer service from crew. The glass bottom boat was broken but they managed to get it fix and gave some guests a chance to see the reef.

We were upgraded
Sunday, May 16, 2010

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 had a great day
Saturday, May 15, 2010

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.

extremely efficient booking
Wednesday, May 05, 2010

extremely efficient booking service, easy to use, would definitely use travstar again

A very pleasant day
Sunday, April 18, 2010

A very pleasant day full of great snorkling surprises. A great day on the reef with very pleasant & helpful crew.
Ocean Spirit I would do again. Thanks

Thursday, March 25, 2010

Even though the seas were rough the crew did the utmost to make us feel comfortable, great day!

excellent day
Saturday, March 20, 2010

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

Amazing.
Tuesday, February 16, 2010

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.

still raving about this adventure
Wednesday, December 23, 2009

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.

Very professional staff
Monday, December 21, 2009

I can not speak highly enough about the Ocean Spirit people and their vessels. Very professional staff who looked after your every need. Fantastic

very good friendly trip
Tuesday, December 01, 2009

A great relaxing day out
Monday, November 23, 2009

A great relaxing day out. The wind was up a bit the day we were out which made the water a little murky however overall we had a great time. The crew on the Ocean Spirit were excellent

Crews and food are excellent.
Friday, October 23, 2009

Crews and food are excellent.

Make sure you book your upgrade
Wednesday, September 09, 2009

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.

Fantastic day on the reef
Monday, September 07, 2009

Fantastic day on the reef. Great view and fantastic first dive experience.

Another fantastic trip
Tuesday, September 01, 2009

Our third trip on Ocean Spirit andjust as good as before. Crew were very helpful with snorkelling and scuba, food excellent. Another fantastic trip to the reef.

Had a wonderful day.
Monday, August 24, 2009

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.

Good!!
Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Good!! I really wanted to go to the Graet barrier reef~~,so I was very satisfied with this travel. However there was not so many fishes I had expected like photos.

were very looked after
Friday, July 24, 2009

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
Thursday, July 16, 2009

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
Sunday, March 01, 2009

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.

good fun
Friday, February 27, 2009

good fun

Would recommend to everyone!!!!!
Tuesday, February 24, 2009

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!!!!!

Very nice and would do it again.
Monday, February 02, 2009

Needed more time to take it all in and really enjoy the surroundings.Very nice and would do it again.

Thank you for a memorable trip
