Lizard Island is a frequent cruise boat overnight stop.

Depending on the season, several cruises a week stop there, including the cruise line Suzanne Rees was on. Most of the cruises are much shorter, 4-10 day cruises along the northeastern coast or north.

So, certainly the cruise directors would have been very familiar with the hike and it's conditions and hazards.

Moo...for that amount of money, I would want a person with first aid experience with all groups and a guide for each group. What if somebody got into trouble snorkeling. Accidents and unexpected medical events happen. These are the cruise ships clients, therefore cruise management is responsible for their clients...moo
