What people are saying about Gold Coast

Participated in snorkeling. I put it in as soon as I learned how to use it, so I was in the sea longer than I thought. I had plenty of time, so I went back to the ship and took a rest. There was a Japanese staff, so it was okay even if I couldn't speak English! Very kind. Next time I would like to participate in diving. Thank you very much. Also, it is better to go to the toilet before entering the sea!

Friendly instructors, all gear supplied, caters for all levels of swimmers; novice to experts, nice, relaxed and enjoyable playing with schools of fishes, even saw a dolphin which came quite near the boat.
