We had a wonderful day snorkelling, Matt, Emma, Molly and all the team made the voyage to Green Island and the reef an exciting and relaxed experience which is highly recommended. It was totally seamless from booking to boarding and returning. The complete service from outfitting, instructions and equipment as well as food is just so professional just adds to make the experience so much more relaxing and enjoyable. Keep up the excellent work team and keep hoisting those sails.

I did the ocean free sailing cruise and had an amazing time. The two certified dives were really fun and there was a lot to see. The visibility wasn’t great but that is no fault of the company. Outstanding crew very friendly and made the experience that much better. Very eco friendly and aware. I highly recommend!!

There is no better crew than the Ocean Freedom crew. From Captain Mike to all the staff we had the absolute best time and are so glad we chose to go with their company. The weather wasn't playing ball on the day with strong winds and lots of rain, but we were always in super capable hands and still had a blast. Can't recommend highly enough.

Believe the reviews! My trip on Ocean Freedom was during some very challenging weather and the crew worked so well to help those feeling the effects of the weather as well as working out how we can still make the most of our time on the reef.The small group size helped feel a lot more comfortable and made sure everyone got the best out of their trip.

First time going to the Great Barrier Reef and so glad we went with Ocean Free, rather than one of the bigger tours! The crew really looked after us and it was a fantastic day out. I was a little nervous for my first time diving, but Tommy was such a patient and supportive guide, it helped me push out of my comfort zone and have an amazing, memorable experience. Highly recommend!
