As usual, I read the TA reviews and found it hard to decide: would I miss out on some fun activities if I didn't go with a larger operator with a pontoon and all the rest? Well, maybe I did, but I'm not sorry. The deciding factor was the small numbers, max. 35. I figured if anything happened to me,... More

My friend and I had a fantastic day and we have no hesitation in recommending this tour. - The staff are both friendly and professional, - Small number of guests i think max 35 means you get to make new friends and get to know the staff. - The reef was pristine and we enjoyed both locations. - The food...

We are a family with three kids (10, 14, 16) and this was perfect for us. We didn't want to be with a massive group and were looking for something that would be a bit more personal, and Seastar delivered.

The crew is FANTASTIC! Loved the... More

No trip to Cairns is complete without visiting the Great Barrier Reef. While there are numerous companies offering snorkeling and scuba diving excursions, it was important to find a quality outfit focused on service. Seastar Cruises Reef Day Trips was the perfect fit. Although they are priced a bit higher then other companies, they have a wonderful boat, great staff... More
