Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from a happy guest!

"Loved this tour, great way to hit all the ticket items when visiting the Whitsundays. Dan and the crew were great hosts and made the day so enjoyable! Wish I could do this every day! Will be recommending to anyone I hear is visiting Airlie."

Holy moly this is funny! Trying to bend ChatGPT to my will and create a little Nico action figure for Viper, and it's doing it's usual AI mischief, making each one a little bit better but also a bit more odd!! Which is your favourite??

🌧🌊 DID YOU KNOW...

Rainfall, clouds and thunderstorms in summer are actually beneficial to the Great Barrier Reef?

While we may grumble about the "bad" weather, in our hot summer months, this activity cools down the sea surface temperature which actually helps to prevent coral bleaching.

Coral bleaching isn't as big a factor here in the Whitsundays as it is further north, but it's still something we need to monitor and mitigate.

So next time the clouds roll in and the rain starts to fall, spare a thought for our coral reefs, who will relish in the cooler conditions!

🦜🐠 This pretty parrotfish is a common sight along the Great Barrier Reef. And boy are they quirky creatures!!

Scientific name: Chlorurus sordidus
Commonly known as the daisy parrotfish or bullethead parrotfish.

Why are they called parrotfish? Their hard beaks look like that of a parrot, and their bright colours.

They reach around 40cm in length, and some females are gender fluid, turning into males when they reach a large enough size! It’s a process known as “protogynous hermaphroditism”.

When you are snorkelling on the reef, listen out for crunching sounds, that will be parrotfish munching away at the corals (don't be alarmed, this is their job), and then excreting the sandy remnants! 💩 It's estimated that one parrotfish could produce up to 90kg of sand a year!!

Foxface Rabbitfish (Siganus vulpinus)

They grow to 20-25cm long, and are omnivores: they eat both algae and plankton.

They are often found in pairs around healthy branching Acropora corals.

This striking little fish can camouflage itself if ti feels threatened, its bright yellow colour turns to a mottled brown. A handy skill!

Beware though: they have venomous spines and despite their small size, they can pack white a punch! One of the many reasons we ask you not to touch the fish while snorkelling.
