Testimonials

Green Island Ocean Free tour today We went with Ben, Chris and Malcom crewing the beautiful Ocean Free. It was a brilliant day with great weather and a tour that rates amongst the best we have ever experienced. 5 stars on every aspect including food, sailing, snorkelling, crew attentiveness and value for money. Could not fault the crew, they even got a round of applause at the end of the trip. Loved it!!

Trip Advisor Review - August 2021

Worth the money Sophie and Chris did an amazing job of looking after us, the scuba-diving was awesome and the proper sailing was even better. 20 people on the boat only. Would go again!

Ben - 21st July 2021

AWESOME Returned to sail for the second time. The first time very friendly helpful staff, made you feel welcome and made our experience fantastic. This time we enjoyed our snorkel. Food was fantastic. Plenty of it and lot's of variety - Smoked salmon, prawns, marinated chicken, roast beef, ham, salami, 4 salads and 3 types of breads. Fruit platters, cake platters, mixed assorted pastries for breakfast etc. Will return. Great value.

Exceeded all our expectations This 5 star experience was amazing. Having previously visited the reef on a ‘cattle cat’ with a million other tourists we looked hard for a more enjoyable trip this time. The food was terrific. The crew were so friendly and helpful. We were in a family group that included three generations ranging from 10yrs to 70yrs and they made it fun for all of us. I have also heard this is the only yacht in the area that actually turns its engine off for a true sailing experience on the way back to Cairns.I cannot recommend this experience highly enough.

Incredible Tour with a Great Crew To snorkel in the GBR was one of the items on my bucket list, and after an incredible day, I am pleased that we chose the Ocean Free tour. My wife and I are nervous swimmers and were trying to look for a personalised experience. I read the other reviews which spoke about the small group size and excellent staff. The staff on the day - Pascale, Antonella, Mark and Mateo - were excellent from start to finish. Special thanks to Antonella made us comfortable during snorkelling and introductory diving and helped us experience the reef up close. I would highly recommend this tour!
