The pontoon was smaller than expected and the viewing gallery is very small. Food provided was good and enjoyed the informative talks provided and also good instructor for the snorkelling introduction class. Could not see much of the reef unless you snorkel.

Service is good but they limit a small area for snorkeling at the reef which is too small for experienced snorkeler.
