"...The Captain Cook Reef Endeavour Cruise was excellent for a small cruise experience. The crew and the service were exceptional, the food plentiful and good, the day tours and activities to the islands and the drop offs into the reef were unforgettable. The Reef is something one has to see to believe. The feeling of snorkeling in the middle of the ocean and the beauty of the reef is indescribable...." Nick and Jane M., Athens, Greece
