Amazing trip! Myself and my friends are travelling the east coast the last 3 weeks and all agreed this was our favourite tour overall.The staff were so friendly, experienced, and great at their jobs. We were well fed too throughout the day so that made us very happy.Special mention to our scuba instructor Sara. I was terrified to scuba dive and she put me at such ease throughout. So happy she was my instructor and I did it. Thanks a mill Sara.Will recommend this trip to all my friends.

The staff on Ocean Freedom were fantastic. I did the introductory scuba and they were so kind and understanding during the entire day. I was very anxious but determined and the crew helped me get comfortable. I wish I remembered everyone’s name. Paul was my diving instructor and he gently and kindly guided me through my entire Scuba experience. I watched as the crew made sure to take care of each diver and snorkeler and gave them personal attention based on their comfort level. Sarah did such a great job taking out smaller kids and guiding them through their experience.The boat is huge and has lots of space for everyone, inside or outside. All the equipment was great. Both stops were fantastic and you see tons of diverse reef and aquatic life. You get loads of time at both sites. The glass bottom boat was a fun way to get things started. Lunch was delicious and there was plenty for 2-3 rounds of food. Fruit, cheeses and desserts on the way back in. I’ve snorkelled in Hawaii, Galapagos and Thailand…but this was the best experience by far. Best crew, boat and absolutely nothing compares to the Great Barrier Reef 🪸

Stunning morning aboard Ocean free with awesome crew. Pascal was a very good skip, navigating rain weather in the smoothest fashion and also injecting bits of his own humour into our safety talks which really make them stick in my mind. Tom stood out above the others as an exemplary member of the crew, he was attentive, passionate and very professional in his manner. From when we first boarded he was smiles and jokes until we landed back in cairns, his hard work on the ship and eagerness to tend to guests really made this trip stand out for us. His knowledge of marine life on the reef and personal humour made this tour really worth the visit to Australia! Love from London! Thanks Tom!

It was a great experience to be on board of Ocean Freedom to explore the hidden treasures of the Great Reef and to complete my first ever diving session! From the very starting point of the booking procedure through boarding and finally introducing the Great Reef, everything was simply perfect. Great crew - special thanks to Sara and Pascal, you made my day, really. Wonderful buffet lunch and snacks throughout the whole adventure. Lovely snorkeling /diving spots - silent and secluded where one can feel the ocean at its best. Amazing experience overall : family like journey - everyone was taken care of with smile and full attention. Highly recommended 😊

We went out on the Ocean Free today and had the absolute best time! We can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience and the crew! The private snorkeling/diving spot off of Green Island allowed us to see fish, sharks, turtles and corals. It was amazing! We had a great time getting to know the others on the boat and would recommend this experience to everyone!

The crew on this tour is just amazing! Very helpful and kind. The snorkeling guides never said no to my family to take them out as many times as they asked for! Special thanks to Sarah, Mike and T! They knew the right spots and we even spotted Nemo and the turtles! They are simply marvelous and the skipper is just the top bloke! I highly recommend this company for their family friendly tours. Much better than the large tycoons!

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.

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+++
