Boat ride was great and crew kept us entertained. Once we got to the site we were in quickly and had an amazing dive saw some cool stuff. Had a few gear issues that I should have noted in gear check as they got annoying later on but crew were supportive. Lunch was simple but good surface interval flew by. Second dive was even better so much aquatic life. Overall highly recommend even for new divers

We were disappointed. The crew was not sufficient for the number of passengers and were preoccupied with the number of people who changed their mind and wanted to scuba dive rather than snorkel so neither those using snorkels or those diving received sufficient attention or time. The tea and coffee were not readily available although the cordial and water were. The crew that needed to get the lunch organized were also helping with scuba and snorkelling which meant lunch was a bit chaotic. The boat is supposed to go to two different sites but on this trip we stayed moored by the MOUA. The mooring site for the MOUA is out in the middle of the ocean. I would not recommend this for nervous swimmers. The boat is well supplied with different face masks, snorkels and wetsuit. My first wetsuit did not fit well and the crew were able to find the same size but in a different brand which worked better. A few things, out of control of the crew, made this less enjoyable than expected. We were there just after a full moon so the water level was very high, and there was a current pushing the snorkellers away from the boat. The staff put a buoy by the reef with a line from the boat which was helpful. The particular day we went was windy so the water was very choppy. It was also cloudy so the visibility snorkelling was not great. The boat ride out and back is over 2 hours and was quite choppy. Anti nausea medication meant I was not one of the passengers throwing up in the supplied buckets. Having your own water bottle is a good idea as moving about the boat was not easy given the waves. We were fortunate to see some whales in the distance since our trip was during whale migration.

This excursion was different than the one we took out of Cairns. The boat was small and the staff seemed to focus quite a bit more on guests who were scuba diving than those who were snorkeling. The lunch "buffet" was basically some bread, cold cuts, cheese and a jar of peanut butter (and some condiments) set out on the small table. Only drink provided was water from a thermos cooler. Snacks were great!! Cookies and fruit passed around in a bowl. "Captain" was knowledgeable about the Reef and made a good talk during lunch. Very limited seating on top deck, except for floor. Seeing a few of the Underwater Art exhibits was interesting.

The trip was really good, the reef was Amazing, the staff was friendly, the food was very good, the equipment was very well.

I had specifically booked and paid for two dives at the Great Barrier Reef, with no interest in diving at the MOUA site. However, the experience did not align with what was promised. During the first dive, we were informed that we would merely pass through the MOUA site to reach the reef. Instead, the dive was predominantly at the MOUA site, where visibility and conditions were not as expected. To elaborate: The dive began with 190 bar and ended with 90 bar, but we spent a significant portion of the dive at the MOUA site before even reaching the reef. The dive was 58 minutes long, but the majority of that time was spent at the MOUA site due to an issue with one diver who needed excessive attention from the dive master. We only spent a brief period at the Great Barrier Reef before having to return because one of the divers ran low on air. For the second dive, we did have the opportunity to dive at the Great Barrier Reef with two dive masters present, which was appreciated. However, this did not make up for the disappointment of the first dive. When I addressed these concerns with the captain, I received the following responses: The claim that there was a reef at the MOUA site was inaccurate as the site had minimal coral. I was advised to have communicated my preference against diving at MOUA; however, the Great Barrier Reef was clearly indicated on my booking paperwork. The staffing issue preventing the presence of two dive masters was acknowledged, but this should have been managed better to ensure a satisfactory experience for all divers. Given that I traveled over 30 hours from the USA specifically for this diving experience and only had one day to dive, I feel that the service provided did not meet the expectations set by your promotional material and booking terms. I kindly requested a refund for the one dive to address the discrepancy between what was promised and what was delivered. I contacted the captain and wrote a letter to the Adrenaline office, but have had no response. This is not a reputable operation.

We saw a couple of mother humpback whales with their calves today. The crew were wonderful, the weather was beautiful and a nice share platter was provided for morning tea. Thank you for a great day out :)

We did our PADI Open Water dives with Adrenalin, having done the confined water dives in the U.K. We were a family of 4, one snorkelled, three dived. We took two trips with Adrenalin and did 4 dives. The first day the conditions were amazing and the sea was a mill-pond. The second trip was windy with rough seas. Luckily we had all taken sea-sickness pills (Kwells) and even though two of our party have had seasickness in the past, they were OK. The dives themselves went very well. We had John as our instructor on the first day, and he was patient with my daughter (10) who was very nervous, and got her through all the skills for her Junior Scuba Diver certification. Before the trip she wasn’t sure if she would dive on day 2 or snorkel, but she enjoyed it so much she decided to dive again. The second day we had Billy to get my son and I through our Open Water Diver certifications, who was great even though he was unwell on the way out himself. My daughter dived with Cassie, who held her hand and she had a great day! On both trips we saw whales on the way out. On the reef, between us, our party saw reef shark, grouper, barracudas, sea cucumbers, giant clams, a porcupine fish, a parrot fish and many more fish and coral. The MOUA was interesting as well and we enjoyed swimming through the sunken greenhouse. Thank you Adrenalin Dive!

The crew, the boat, equipment, light lunch and the instruction were all excellent. However, be aware if you go on a bad weather day this trip will be torment - 2 hours forty minutes each way through rough seas on aluminum benches with people being sick. The snorkelling site will be barely suitable due to wind and strong water current. Not sure what the solution is - I guess pre book only a couple days out when you can check the forecast and be assured of good weather, otherwise it’s an expensive way to be miserable for a day.

Friendly and VERY knowledgeable staff! From the moment we hit the deck (6:45am) we were greeted with an energetic, confident and helpful crew… each one patient and delightful! We snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef while some of the other travelers were there to scuba… the adrenaline team met each of us exactly where we were with tips and support while at the same time letting us have our own experience out on the reef. The snacks were awesome… cheese, crackers, fresh fruit and peanut butter sandwiches delivered periodically throughout the day! The lunch was fresh and healthy … a little buffet with meats, slaws, cut veggies and hummus:) very NICE! They provided wetsuits for every size and shape and the mask and snorkel was in perfect condition:) highly recommend … a MUST do when you are in Townsville! Oh and be sure to get a seat on the top deck… the views are out of this world … humpback whales and dolphins … offering us entertainment along the 2 hour trip to the reef … WOW 🤩

Reef was incredible. Whales, dolphins, and more fish than we can count. Awesome folks, great w/ safety measures- and great snacks! Will come back!

Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef doesn’t really get any better. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Wetsuits available for ALL sizes.

Enjoyed a perfect day out on the reef. Paul and crew run a top notch operation! Both the snorkeling and diving were excellent (we went to Keeper reef), with good food to replenish your energy after being out on the water.

Our group had an awesome time at Adrenalin Snorkel and Dive. The boat ride wasn’t too long, and snacks were served along the way which helped with seasickness. Once we were there, everything went smoothly and we spent the perfect time in the water. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the reef. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to see the reef out of Townsville, and I will definitely be booking again!

Was a lovely day couple drinks , nibbles while we cruise around magnetic island and other area was great , also spotted one whale.

Fantastic morning Whale watching. Saw a good number of whales at a respectable distance. Fun and factual information about the area and the wildlife. Hot and cold beverages available throughout trip and mixed platter with cheeses, hummus, veggies, crackers and fruit served about mid morning. Really enjoyable trip. We would 100% recommend booking!!
