Out of this world experience! - From the moment we stepped on board, the Aquascene team made us feel like superstars! As we were on a business trip for the day, our visit couldn't be rescheduled for better weather - so the team communicated with us as soon as possible that conditions for snorkelling weren't ideal and we were provided with options of tours we could do, and ended up spending the most beautiful afternoon nestled in Five Beach Bay paddle boarding, swimming, having afternoon tea and learning about the rich history and geology of the island. Our team are already looking at rebooking for a Christmas Party or EOFY cruise we had a blast! Thank you so much!

Great Family Day - Our family group of 12 - aged from 8 to 76 - had a fantastic day circumnavigating Magnetic Island. Kalvin and Jann were perfect hosts and their knowledge and safety precautions were spot on. The morning tea was delicious too. Highly recommended!

Great trip for families - Loved this trip. The people who run this business are wonderful and the crew on the boat are very engaged and informative about the Island. Our kids absolutely loved the stand up paddleboarding and snorkelling. Beautiful morning tea also.

Fantastic Maggie Experience - A fantastic day out. The tour guides made the trip really fun and enjoyable. The weather wasn't the best but they were even more determined to make sure we had a great day. Learnt alot about the islands history. The locations were beautiful.

A must do on a sunny day but if there is no sun do it any way. - What did we see. The wreck of the HMS Adelaide barque steamer that came from Scotland and learnt its amazing history with photos. Learnt about history and settlers of the island and how it was named. Swam in stinger suits and had morning tea at a secluded beach with as it happened a waterfall. Saw a brown kite fly in to the boat and take a fish out of the hand of a boat member. Snorkelled at two different sites to view coral and marine life. Some of the cod were huge that came to feed by the boat. The two crew were lively, entertaining and had good knowledge. I would rate it a must do on the island particularly when the sun comes out.

Great way to start ur Magnetic Island adventure. - Friendly & helpful approach to service approach, allowed us to meet their early start, by storing our bags (prior to air BnB check in). Relaxed, timely start to tour from Nelly Bay, mixed aged group of 20 took to a calm ocean, cloudy skies. Easy, interesting & humorous dialogue at the many points of interest. Genuine acknowledgment of Traditional Owners with explanation of their connection with all the island chain as far as Cape tribulation. Great mix of fresh fruit & cake available for morning tea, held on calm Granite beach bay. Chance for the kids & better balanced tour members to show off their paddle boarding skills. More stunning geological landscapes & variations on lush tropical vegetation. Chance to snorkel for an hour in Arthur Bay. Crew calmly fitted out all participants in stinger proof fashion, together with flippers, goggles etc., then entered calm 28C waters to swim with Amazing Bat fish, large Cod, lots of schools of smaller fish, some coral colour, but unfortunately visibility was down to 3-400mm, due to recent rain/ storms & cloud cover. Easy commute back to Nelly Bay in time for 1:30 pm ferry. Thanks Kelvin & Yaun for a beautiful introduction to magnetic island.
