    Honestly I don't understand some of your complaints. Whenever you get on a boat there is a chance of getting sea sickness, that’s why there is medication for it in case you need it. High winds and big waves … sorry but that's just nature. Look up the weather forecast before you go there. And even then it's the ocean, weather can change quickly. Sorry that nature doesn’t care about your scheduled trip. It's the same when people go whale or dolphin watching and then complain when they don’t see many whales or dolphins. The animals aren't there to entertain you 🤷🏻‍♀️ there is always a chance that they won't show up. It's not an enivorment controled by and tailored to humans.

      @@myeyesburn641 appreciate your comment but a lot more happened than what's mentioned in this video, the blog link explains more. They are a long, expensive trip and just want to let people know things that can affect your enjoyment, so not to waste your money. I have taken this trip a few times and this was the only one that was bad for us, otherwise it can be a nice option. Although the deterioration out there is more than other pontoons. I booked this trip in advance, so when it came to finding out the bad weather, I couldn't cancel without losing $600 for Matt and I. I took medication the night before and in the day, but still with 200 people throwing up in the same contained area and a baby throwing up over itself right in front of me, it's enough to make me unwell even with medication. I tried to escape outside, but manager told me it was too dangerous with the waves and had to sit back inside with the vile smell. Once there, the snorkelling area was reduced to maintain safety and control and Most novice swimmers only spent 10 minutes in the water because of the waves and swell. Yes, this is all apart of nature and something the tour company can't control but Overall, I thought the company should have cancelled the trip. Especially since it was too dangerous to sit outside the boat and reducing the snorkelling area.

    With these winds and currents, they should have cancelled it. I fully understand your point of view. We also had strong winds, but not as strong as this. I liked my day very much, although the 4 hours were a bit short. If you want to spend more time on the reef, you have to start in cairns instead of Airlie Beach (6 hours vs 4 hours on the reef).

    Thanks for showing a less than ideal day out there. I would do it just because I had an amazing day out there this month. It was more than what I hoped for after watching you video. Plan according to the schedule and you have time to enjoy all the included activities. 1 to 1.5hours in the water is fine with me, by that you time have seen most sea creatures. Most visitors on my boat trip did not bother to venture out and see more anyway so the pontoon operator did not even need to restrict the swimming area. Mind you that was a 34C day with no swell or wind.
