Testimonials
“We had an awesome day with #rivertobay, great guides, totally safe with their safety procedures snorkelling around Tangalooma wrecks, lovely lunch, St Helena Island was a standout and could be a trip on its own. During the day the guides interacted with their guests, making sure everyone was ok, delicious apples, biscuits and bottled water. Would highly recommend this trip, being great value!” – Peter Corbett
“I recently went on the Tangalooma Wrecks dive tour with RivertoBay. It was pretty awesome and very well managed. Zac, Ed and John took good care of the group and are very good at what they do. I had a bout of seasickness and Zac ensured that I was looked after and did everything to boost my confidence on the sea. I really appreciate his and the rest of crews efforts in making the trip safe and enjoyable for all the people on board. After the snorkelling, the lunch was awesome as well and the Ed and Zac gave a very good tour of St.Helena island. It’s a very good tour and is kid-friendly as well, so if you want to have a quick one day getaway I’d highly recommend river to bay tours. Again a special shoutout to the crew Ed, John and especially Zac.” – Balram Dabhade
“I sent my parents and 5 year old child on this trip. They had a great day out. Dunc really went above and beyond and helped my son get the true snorkelling experience, even though he is not a strong swimmer. My son has been raving non-stop about what a fantastic day it was.” – Vicki Vilaylath
