Know before you go: While this is advertised as a private tour, the day spent on the reef will be on a 152-foot-long catamaran with at least 30-40 other tourists.; We have selected the best companies and operators, who are also small local family operations.; If the wind is forecast to be over 15 knots, it may be enough to make you feel slightly motion-sick on the way out to the reef and on the way back. Taking motion sickness tablets at least 2 hours before you set sail is recommended.; Seasickness tablets are available at a personal cost.
