Had a great experience, the scuba diving was amazing and got to see the life in the barrier reef. The food was great and the crew was very friendly. Highly recommended for everyone and there's no need to be able to swim very well too.

We had an amazing day on Ocean Free yesterday. The staff were outstanding, making sure everyone was taken care of, especially non strong swimmers when snorkelling. This was a once of a lifetime experience for our family (2 adults 50+ and 2 teens). A good balance of snorkelling, Green Island, and sailing. Highly recommend for those looking for a more personal trip to the reef.

A boat excursion to Green Island worthy of a 10 out of 10. Every aspect was perfect. The friendliness of the crew, the amazing experiences (snorkeling and seeing lots of fish, a turtle, and a baby shark), the stunning locations, and even plenty of delicious food. My wife and I were on our honeymoon, and they even prepared a congratulatory certificate and a special aperitif for us. I highly recommend this experience, it was truly fabulous. In the end, we deemed it the best excursion of our entire honeymoon.Thank you Crew, from ItalyGabriele e Irene

Fantastic crew! Great food! Plenty of snorkel time!! My friend and I did the full day tour, spending the day enjoying the reef. Our glass bottom boat tour guide (from Oct.4,2024) was fantastic; knowledgeable and made the experience exciting. Please update the photo of your boat though; the only exposed seating area is the very top which is closed when traveling to and from the reef. It was choppy weather conditions and the only seating available was inside which was not ideal for my friend who was sea sick.

Trip of a lifetime! We did the Ocean Free. Exceeded our expectations beyond belief. Only thing I can think that would top this trip is a space flight to the stars, seriously. The GBR is beautiful—scuba and snorkeled and saw turtle, sharks, and all the blazing beautiful fishes, too. Thanks to our crew the skipper Michael and our dive team Amber, Alexa, and Mike for making the trip so fun, hospitable, and energized!

Wonderful day out—the crew *made* the experience. Reef itself was less vibrant than I expected, probably due to coral bleaching. There were loads of beautiful, colourful fish and we even saw a turtle and a cuttlefish! The crew very sociable, knowledgeable and helpful. I even got to help hoist the sail!

Amazing day & experience! The crew was so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Also the food was above my expectations- they always made sure you had what you needed. It does without saying the GBR was breathtaking- and they would answer any questions and help you identify anything you saw. Highly recommend!!

had an absolutely fabulous time with the crew on Ocean Free. they were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. our trip out to the Great Barrier Reef and Green Island was absolutely magical. we didn’t scuba dive but the snorkeling experience was amazing. we saw many types of marine life and were educated by the crew every step of the way. it felt like an intimate experience with less than 20 people on the boat. would recommend to anyone who wants to explore the Great Barrier Reef.

Amazing! Have done the cheaper ones before where you’re packed on and everything is rushed and you have 80 people swimming in this tiny space. Ocean Free was so much better. The staff were amazing, great food, relaxing boat, awesome location on the reef with plenty of options to cater for everyone. My two kids boy/8 and girl/15 both said it was the best day they’ve ever had on one of our regular trips up to Cairns. Thank you to the Ocean Free crew!

Ocean Free was the highlight of our trip, the staff were incredible and made it super fun. T was an amazing Dive Guide and since I was the only one who signed up we got to explore a lot. Saw so many turtles and sharks and the reef was just thriving. Went to the island and wanted to immediately go back in the boat to jump off, snorkel and float with some bevies- Thanks for keeping the wine and ginger beer flowing. Pascal and the girls did a great job skippering (I’m making that a word), hosting the day, and the food offerings were above and beyond. Thanks guys for an incredible experience -The Canadians
