An excellent experience! Crew was amazing and very helpful! We are a family of 3 and our sone is 5 years old who was snorkling for the first time in his life. The Crew was so helpful and friendly and attentive, i greatly appreciate them! The boat is nice, the natural aspect was as expected with fishes and reel corals. It's very cool once in a life time experience! You get to do a glass boat as well and a wild fish feeding! Great Time and truly worth the money! THANK YOU!

I absolutely loved my trip on the Ocean Free sailboat tour! It was my first time snorkeling and first trip to the great barrier reef. I feel so blessed to have been on an intimate group tour; the Ocean Free can take up to 25 people on board and we had a group of 6! The guides were amazing, they made you feel safe and included in all the activities. The food on board was so yummy and you certainly won’t go hungry (there’s breakfast, lunch, multiple snacks, fruits, sweets, and wine!). The coral that we toured was vibrant and full of life, our group saw reef sharks, sea turtles, schools of fish, giant clams, etc. The boat also stopped over at Green Island for a couple hours.. steer clear from the crocodile exhibit, it is giving the same vibes as Sea World (iykyk). I would recommend this company to anyone looking for an intimate experience, the only downside is there were no photographers on board, but you can always take a trip down to Calypso Reef Imagery and Underwater Camera Hire for a GoPro rental :)

Amazing experience with the best staff. Weather was unfortunate but we still had a fab day. I did the intro scuba dive and Rose in particular really helped me overcome my fears and convinced me to do the dive - I’m so glad she put my mind at ease as it was so fun. Best experience would highly recommend.

It's been 2 months since I was on the Ocean Free and I'm still talking about it every day. First, in a huge industry of reef tours with huge boats stuffed with passengers, the Ocean Free was the experience I was looking for -- I think there were only 12 passengers and 3 crew (shout out to Skipper Jan and amazing crew members Yaya and T). I was extraordinarily lucky that I was the only one on the boat who was diving (all others were snorkeling), so I had the absolutely BEST dives with Yaya who took such good care of me (I'm an intro diver) and we had so much fun seeing such abundant sea life around the Green Island reefs. (Seriously, Yaya -- you're AMAZING!!!!) I even got to do a little extra snorkeling in between dives which was wonderful. The quick trip over to Green Island was nice and it is pretty there, but if I had to do it again, I would have stayed in the water the whole time instead. I don't remember what we ate, but I remember it was good, and I was very thankful for the fresh fruit which was a refreshing treat after diving. On the way home, Yaya and T were playing DJ and everyone on board was having a blast, dancing and singing along with them the whole way, finishing with a very energetic rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody as we pulled into the dock. It was the absolute perfect day.

Incredible experience and service with Ocean Free. It was our first time visiting the reef and I’m glad we sailed there. Very hospitable and attentive crew. They have a special mooring off Green Island away from the crowds. It allows you to explore the beautiful reef and its marine life with plenty of time and space. I would highly recommend them versus the other bigger companies.
