We had a group of 9, including a 13, 10, 5 and 2 yr old. 3 of us did a dive and the rest of us snorkeled on the reef. The team was amazing, helpful and kept us entertained and informed when we had questions. We chose the Sailboat tour so the kids could enjoy the beach and sand, we weren't disappointed. Sailing part of the way home was so cool also. Top marks for the team.

the ocean freedom cruise is one of the best tours i’ve done! saw lots of cool fish and they give you plenty of time and guidance during the snorkel. it was also my first time scuba diving and it took me a bit of time to get comfortable, but the guide was super patient with me and i’m so glad that he helped me accomplish it even when i wasn’t sure if i would! all the staff were great and the lunch was super yummy as well :)

Highly highly recommend them for your Great Barrier Reef excursions. Mike, Sara & Matt were with us for our tour. They are absolute legends. One of the best experiences of my life. Can’t stress enough how amazing it was and how awesome were the dive instructors. Thanks for making it so worthwhile.

Overall, a really great experience.We booked the Ocean Freedom for snorkeling but there were people who were also scuba diving.The boat, if I remember correctly, had a max capacity of roughly 150. Our day was about half full with 65 people.The whole process seemed very organized. It ran on-time, they provided wet suits, snorkel gear and everything you could imagine.They provided safety tips and rules to make everyone feel comfortable. There was never a time where I thought “what am I supposed to be doing right now?”The staff is incredible and they make the whole trip. There to help and guide you but also protect you. I don’t love being in the open ocean but I never felt concerned with the crew.This doesn’t even reflect on the reef itself with is incredible and home to many types of sea life. We saw a sea turtle which was the highlight of the trip.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone. The boat and equipment is super well maintained, we were feed delicious food from the moment we stepped aboard to the moment we got off and best of all (apart from the two beautiful locations we snorkelled) were the staff. They were all so friendly, well organised, accommodating and knowledgeable, they really made the day. A+++

I have no words to express an unforgettable day.For me this was my second time snorkeling it was just overwhelming. It is hard to describe how it feels to see what is happening under water – it is like entering and exploring an unknown world. I enjoyed watching all the different fish, the colours, reefs and the whole marine life I got lucky to see a big turtle and a enormous stingray . I highly recommend this tour and his crew was exceptional, friendly , attentive. they made this experience even more enjoyable.

No words available other than perfection. Absolute perfect day. I'll be singing their praises for years to come.The staff are a well oiled machine. They are attentive and thoughtful, funny, friendly, and caring.The various tours included with the package including a glass bottom boat tour, guided snorkelling areas, certain starfish and sea cucumbers were safely and gently retrieved during the tour for us to see and touch.This was a once in a lifetime moment and they nailed it.11/10 easily.

A must book! So happy i booked this all day adventure. I had never dove or scuba before and couldn’t have been happier doing both my first time with this crew. The beginner dive was absolutely incredible and easy. The guide talked me through my anxiety and did most of the work, all you have to do is calmly breath and pop your ears whenever you feel pressure and they do the rest! The boat was nice, staff incredible and friendly and obviously can’t beat the reef. We had A+ conditions so that helps but all and all amazing, amazing. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our time on this tour. The staff are great...shoutouts to Tee (a Kiwi who took my wife and me on a private trip around the reef), Pascal (who arranged this private tour) and Brooke (who served food and drink and helped re-bandage my finger, which I had broken just before I went on the tour). There were competent; moreover, they were kind.We weren't sure we would go snorkeling but the staff convinced us we had it in us. They were right, and we had a blast.The catamaran is well equipped. Lunch was fantastic (how could they put such a spread on in such a short time). The snorkeling and scuba diving are well done and, moreover, safe. We had reservations about using equipment others might have used but we needn't have. Everything is kept scrupulously clean. Even Felix Unger and Adrian Monk would approve.Don't hesitate to go, You'll have a great time. It's good value, IMO.

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.
