Overall rating

(319 reviews)

Or tour guide was very friendly, funny and helpful. She also transported the love for the ocean and for sharks very well. Even I was a beginner I always felt safe and have seen a lot of beautiful fish. The only negative point is the price which is in my opinion a bit to high if you just want to go snorkeling and don’t need the information at the walk. All in all I can highly recommend this activity for beginners.

The tour was really brought to life by having Angelina Thomson join our bus journey to the filming bench locations and she was very engaging. Angelina also recorded a video for a friend back home who has had an operation which brought her to tears. Thank you for running this tour!

The tour was great, would have been perfect if it included the studio as well. We had Tristan (Dr Levi) as our guide and he was fabulous. Photos, selfies, autographs, even a cheeky cuddle. Nothing was too much.

It was very informative and well organised.Got to see a lot of filming being done and a few pics with some stars.

Was clean & quick. Staff were very friendly and helpful
