This is an out of this world activity! The helicopter ride is absolutely worth it and a must-do! Very well organized tour with friendly staff and an awesome boat!

Amazing day, Down Under Cruise and Dive and the crew of the Evolution were fantastic, very professional. Snorkelling, heli and semi-sub were awesome.

The highlight was the incredible picture souvenir. Do not pass up the opportunity to pose for the photographer. The pics were phenomenal. The day was well organized. Felt like we got everything we wanted and then a little more.

Everything was well executed. Instructors were friendly and approachable. Only down was the lunch as it was quite poor quality meat and fish. The scenic heli ride choice of seat are random and you must rush for the better ones upon reaching the helipad for better view. the one facing backwards do not have big windows and views. The diving was mediocre as the path they guide you are also viewable/ doable if you snorkel (free). Their photographer will bait a turtle to you to take photos which they charge alot for. Overall pleasant experience but will try other operator next time.
