We did a private tour with Aquascene just before Christmas and the crew did not disappoint! The whole tour was full of amazing memories, informative stories about Magnetic Islands history and great adventures. I cannot recommend the crew at Aquascene enough- we will definately be back to do the shipwreck tour. Thanks for an amazing, family friendly, adventure filled day!

Wonderful day with a great crew. Lots of sightings of brahminy kites, seagulls and terns. The snorkelling was great with clear water and healthy reef. Lots of fish and coral. Morning tea on the beach was an experience not to forget with everything being carried over by the crew while chest deep in water and nothing dropped. Great day.

Great experience and the circumnavigation snorkelling tour was a great opportunity to see areas of the island I hadn’t seen before. I was fortunate to see and interact with some amazing marine life. Best snorkelling experience! Professional and friendly staff with a wealth of knowledge and expertise and of course a beautiful freshly made and prepared morning tea. Thank you 🙏
