My wife & I joined the Ocean Freedom tour in July. Both of us don't swim and had snorkeled for the first time. We had a wonderful time. The crew worked well together to deliver the best experience we could have hoped for. Special call out to Jordan for the very informative drift snorkeling and Chris for leading the team. So glad we went with you guys.

This was our first time visiting the Great Barrier Reef and we couldn’t have had a better day! The crew was so kind and willing to give more explanations or share their knowledge about the Great Barrier Reef, and the boat wasn’t too crowded. Special thanks to Jaz and Jordan who took us for our first time scuba-dive: they were very patient and reassuring! You guys made this day so special ☺️ Would 100% book here again if coming back!

Awesome day out snorkeling! Staff were extremely attentive and patient helping anyone that needed a little extra TLC, particularly my son who had never snorkeled before and is a very cautious kid. Made it a wonderful experience for him & now he loves snorkeling:) They were all very safe and informative, went over rules thoroughly to ensure everyone knew what to expect and do in case of an unexpected event. There were crew members in and out of water the entire time monitoring everyone and offering help when needed. One guest got seasick and a crew member stuck by her side offering support the entire time. Captain Perry, you were amazing & have also chosen awesome caring staff! Atlas, my son, says "whazzup".... lol. You will know what he means;)

What a fantastic day! The crew were amazing, so friendly and funny. I love that it is family owned and operated, and it was a great size with only about 60 people today (much better than the bigger boats run by large companies). The crew were knowledgeable and friendly.The snorkelling was great, and the highlight for me was seeing turtles for the first time. There was also heaps of food, so you won’t go hungry. Highly recommend Ocean Freedom!

My friends and I had the best time exploring with Ocean Free. The staff were so friendly and helpful, ensuring everyone was having a great time. The food and drinks provided were great. Our scuba instructor was knowledgeable and we felt very safe diving with her. Would definitely book through this company in the future. Thank you!

Ocean Free cruise was wonderful. Mike, Liam and Matt were amazing: knowledgeable, fun, hardworking and caring. The smaller group atmosphere was something we loved, it felt like a private cruise for a group of friends. The two hour trip each way to and from the reef was an enjoyable feature of itself, especially on the way back under sail. This is a great option for anyone who wants a relaxing cruise with a bit of everything.

Absolutely incredible experience with the best crew! Everything ran extremely smoothly and we were very impressed by how hard the crew worked throughout the journey to keep everyone safe and having a great time! The reef locations are great, and the snorkeling gear and wetsuits were perfect. Also, you will not go hungry on this trip! Food was plentiful and top quality. Worth every penny. Highly recommend!!!

Fabulous day! We had an amazing day on Ocean Freedom. Great crew, super organised and overall very smooth experience. We did two certified dives and the instructor, Marco, was great and super patient! We were taken to great spots on the reef and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun day out! Thanks again.

22:31 14 Jul 22

I absolutely loved my experience with Ocean Free and Ocean Freedom. I did my very first scuba dive, the weather was perfect, the water was perfect, the boat and crew were awesome. The two dive instructors got everything ready, they took care of everything, taught us well, and made sure we were ready for the dive. They had small dive groups, there were two instructors for 4 people, but in my group there were only 3 people. I got to dive one on one with the instructor and even though I was initially nervous, that all went away once we were in the water and I felt safe and secure the whole time. It was a lovely day and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Fantastic day out on the Barrier Reef with theses guys. The crew were absolutely awesome, friendly and very helpful, nothing was to much of a hassle for them. Led us around on the reef and showed us some pretty cool stuff (thanks Jayden). Great price with everything included.Could not recommend these guys highly enough.Thanks Ocean Freedom Ocean Free for a great experiance

We just returned from an amazing day out on the reef with this company, and after having tried other 2 local competitors I can say this is by far the best one to experience the reef.. the boat is super comfortable and well equipped, the staff is young and professional and the destinations were both nice and diverse.. I would suggest to enrich the storytelling about the underwater life and the scuba diving briefings, which I found to be less complete and clear vs. Others. And also cmon, you could offer a glass of wine in the end ;) other than this we really loved it and will reconsider in the future should we come back.. thanks

08:38 09 Jul 22

This was such a fun experience. The crew had a casual professionalism about them which made them very approachable. The day was well structured without being rushed or pressurred. All levels of ability were catered from which made the experience very inclusive. Highly recommend.

Our family of 4 had a great day today despite the dreary weather. The captain and crew are all so helpful and kind. It was crystal clear how genuinely they want you to have the best experience. I noted the captain a few times getting staff to check on specific passengers to make sure they were OK. Maximum guest numbers is 28 so not over crowded. They provided so much beautiful and fresh food and it was plentiful. I had packed extra snacks because often it can be lacking but not here. Highly recommend joining the crew when you are in Cairns.

One thing humans can't control is the weather conditions. It's was opposite to turquoise blue flat waters and sunny sky. But what an adventure to remember. The crew was fabulous. The waves and salt water exhilarating.

sarah M.

23:33 30 Jun 22

Very knowledgeable crew, had lots of options with regards to either snorkeling off on your own, or taking "tours" around the reef with the crew. All of the team was very friendly and attentive to the whole boats needs!

Gabriela H.

18:51 28 Jun 22

Great day snorkelling & exploring the reef & Green Island. Knowledgeable crew with lots insights & breakfast & lunch & even wine cheese on the way home.

Gail B.

23:00 25 Jun 22

What a great experience while visiting Cairns. The crew was extremely outgoing and knowledgeable. The first spot on the Great Barrier Reef was the better of the two due to rough conditions, but both were really nice. Even the owner (local) showed up to thank everyone upon docking at the end of the day.

23:11 23 Jun 22

Ocean Freedom books small, manageable numbers of people so the service they provide is quite personalized. The staff address you by your name instead of a number and go out of their way to make sure you feel comfortable, safe and well taken care of.I’m tall and thin and prone to getting cold, even in warm water, and one of their staff loaned me his own under suit vest (sleeveless hooded vest with a furry lining), which helped me stay just warm enough that I completed both of my guided dives without freezing.Their lunch spread was amazing and was followed by fruit trays and a dessert tray, with a member of the staff walking around the boat with the fruit and desert trays making sure everyone got some.My diving guide was patient and professional and very good at pointing out the large variety of sea life their diving site offers.I would definitely book with this company again.Bonus: My diving guide even provided my dive stats hand-written on a piece of paper for me to transcribe or just include as is in my dive book.

Saturday 11/6/22 - We went on the sailboat tour to Green Island, which also included snorkelling. The crew (under captain Michael) was very accommodating and made sure that the small group on the boat had a wonderful time.The food was good and we had a great day above and under the surface. The 2 hour stay at Green Island was pleasant and sailing back to Cairns in the afternoon was a joy.Highly recommend!

Everything was great. Staff was amazing, boat. If it was cheaper I would be there atleast three times in a week I love snorchling..We were lucky to swim with turtle.

Amazing day on the reef with ocean freedom.Fantastic crew went above and beyond to make it a really enjoyable experience.Special shout out to Amanda in bookings (so friendly, helpful and informative), Paig ( friendly and accommodating in the galley and the bar), Jordy in and underwater. All of the crew worked so hard to get everything right and help us enjoy our day.Looking forward to returning to the reef again with ocean freedom.Thanks again, well done.Great value!

I can't recommend these guys strongly enough; friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and focused on making sure guests on board had the best day possible. Go with these guys, you won't regret it. Keep up the great work!!

Mike C.

23:11 16 Jun 22

Fantastic experience with Ocean Freedom in Cairns. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, gave us a stress free and safe experience swimming at the reef. I was frightened of the water at first, but at the end of the day I was swimming amongst the coral without fear since I felt very safe. The staff were extremely helpful and delightful, they even brought over snack and treats to us while we were sitting at the bow of the boat, amazing service. I would highly recommend Ocean Freedom for your snorkelling reef tour, everything went so smoothly and pleasant memories were made that day! 😊

Tam D.

01:13 15 Jun 22

Great experience with an incredibly kind and patient staff! Couldn’t have been more pleased!!! If we ever visit Cairns again they will be the first adventure we book! I would highly recommend them if you want to experience the reef at a reasonable price!!! Shout out to the amazing crew who took such good care of us!

Awesome bunch of guys! - enjoyed my cruise heaps...plus the owner dropped in the boat to say hi too..

My partner and I had a great experience with ocean freedom! Starting with the positives, crew were friendly, energetic and made everything more fun and enjoyable! Scuba diving is a must! A big thanks to Jen for the diving instructions and for being so patient and helpful despite our lack of experience and being so nervous :) also the locations were great, the second location was shallower and was great for us first time divers to try a bit more freedom, and also the boat was really fast!a few minor suggestions or things that could have been better. plastic covering was used in the second floor to stop water splashing into the boat when it was going at high speed. We thought the plastic cover made it look a bit DIY and cheap, perhaps they could be replaced by removable glass panels? In addition to the look, plastic cover were not good at keeping the water out, plenty of water leaked in, anyone sitting in the second floor were soaked wet when returning, also because the floor was carpet it got wet too and was not really pleasant to walk on (perhaps replacing with wood decking?), but to be honest the crew, the location (Upolo reef), the diving equipments and the experience overall were so good that giving it less than 5/5 would not be fair.

Really great trip. The staff were very friendly and always put the guests first. Would definitely recommend :).

Nadya K.

23:01 09 Jun 22

More professional than other boat trips we took in the region. We liked the boat, the food, and the staff. The reef locations were remote and there weren't other tourists, though we didn't luck out in terms of wildlife -- we saw more variety in other parts. That said, this group felt more professional, with better food options and drinks -- but without feeling like a party boat.

Timothy T.

08:56 05 Jun 22

Loved this family run business. The staff were attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, funny and relaxed. I cannot speak highly enough of the crew ( THANK YOU CREW 💖) My two travel companions were extremely anxious about their first snorkel and the crew were caring, compassionate and patient. They knew exactly how to settle their anxieties. I highly recommend Ocean Freedom

Amazing trip. Boat was great, crew went above and beyond, snorkelling locations were amazing.

Tara W.

Highly recommend. My Fiancé and I went out a couple of days ago and were blown away. Staff were helpful and fun. The boat was perfect size. A great spread of food and the locations were amazing. Will definitely do again in the future.

Mathew T.

23:03 31 May 22

What attracted me to this advertised reef experience was the combination of a sailing and snorkeling trip out to the reef with a relatively small travelling party, also the option of a transfer to Green Island for a spot of sightseeing offered a pretty interesting day. What turned out to be the highlight for me was the very welcoming crew and the effort they extended to all to make the days trip and experiences something to remember.

Peter M.

12:12 31 May 22

We had an amazing day!! The reef locations were phenomenal and the crew was very friendly. Would highly recommend :)

My Family had an absolutely brilliant experience out on this boat. Great staff, special shout out to Jazz who encouraged my 13 year old son to try scuba diving. He loved it so much he went back for a second dive wants to do his open water certification. We are a family of scuba divers who had little luck in the past encouraging Will to try diving. He trusted Jazz and she looked out for him the entire time as did the instructor on the second dive.The food was great, the atmosphere was great, the staff are all very professional and engaging. We will be back. Highly recommended.

Michelle W

22:41 28 May 22

Had the most amazing day snorkelling with these guys, just brilliant. Couldn't fault them. The crew were absolutely fantastic!!!! professional, welcoming and we had a blast. Food was perfect too !I would definitely recommend going for a reef drive or snorkelling with this business. I'll be back. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience.

Awesome tour, fantastic experience, very friendly and helpful staff. Food on board was very nice too. We saw so much marine life, 10 of 10. They were the best.

ning L.

00:54 27 May 22

Hats off the hiring manager - every staff has the most pleasant and welcoming attitude. A special shoutout to Amanda, who impressed us with her customer sevice and impromptu sales pitch :)The day is filled with exploring the reefs, with lots of time in the water. The whole experience is seemless with good communication, breaks, food and hospitality.One of us had signed up for a scuba dive, but decided against it on the boat, that too after going in the water. They had no reason to reimburse the $$, but they still did. 10/10 for that.

Bharath P.

22:12 24 May 22

We were really happy with the ocean freedom tour to the GBR. The crew were amazing, they were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The tour went to two locations that were both great to see coral, fish and turtles. The food on board was better than we expected aswell. Overall we highly recommend 👌

K W.

10:16 23 May 22

We took the reef tour with these guys and it was a great experience. All the staff were so lovely and accommodating. The boat was big but not too big. The food served was delicious and the experience itself was great. It was our first time to the barrier reef. The conditions were choppy but they did everything they could to make it a great experience.

Stevie G

23:23 21 May 22

Captain Mike and his crew were amazing from the get go. They were friendly and super accomodating to anything we needed. The boat was clean and comfortable, the food was really yum and the equipment for snorkelling was in excellent condition. We had a lot of fun snorkelling and even though it was choppy we all felt safe and looked after by the crew. If you’re looking to do a Reef tour, CHOOSE THESE GUYS! You will be impressed.

Leonard C.

23:20 21 May 22

Absolute 10/10 both times I’ve been with these guys! Team is so friendly and fun and is constantly making sure you’re having the best time there! Will be back :)

07:05 16 May 22

Unfortunately the weather on our Ocean Freedom tour wasn't great and I felt unwell for most of the day. The crew were all fantastic and they made the effort to make sure I was ok. My husband is not a confident swimmer and Shannon went above and beyond by taking him around the reef on a life ring to show him the sights. There was plenty of food available throughout the day. A thank you to the crew for doing a great job in tough conditions.

Ashleigh W

11:21 14 May 22

We went on an Ocean Freedom cruise on Anzac day. The crew were so friendly. My partner did an intro to diving with 2 dives and we snorkelled at 2 reef locations. We had a snorkel guide for each location and the crew member would share information on coral and fish as we went through the reef. At the second location, we saw 4 sea turtles. We were the only boat at each reef location. 11/10 would book again!

Leah W

10:42 13 May 22

Super experience with the team, did my introductory scuba dive really great and knowledgeable staff.

Henry W.

22:45 12 May 22

Small group and great service. 2 excellent locations. Best experience.

Scott J.

22:26 09 May 22

Such a lovely day on the reef! My parent's and sister came to visit Cairns and this was their first time of the reef and they had such a nice time! Conditions were good so they didn't get too nauseated on the way which is a plus! There was morning tea when we got there, a quick briefing then we were off! There were various options for people of all swimming abilities and my parents loved the guided snorkel as they weren't confident swimmers. The scuba diving was luckily in small dive teams which is always a plus and it was a beautiful day for it! Lunch was great and it was such a wonderful experience. Would love to go again! Thanks team!

Chloe q

13:45 09 May 22

This was such an amazing experience. The boat was really nice and the crew even better. They all went above and beyond for the guests on board, even for my partner who was starting to feel unwell. Once he began to feel better, we were ready to go snorkel however the group was further than I would like to swim to on my own. Sharn (one of the crew members) saw how nervous I was and offered to take my partner and I out and show us the coral and beautiful fish. Would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a snorkelling tour in Cairns. You don’t have to swim in the group if you don’t want to but they send a crew member out to personally take you to certain spots worth seeing underwater water.

Koeby K.

03:44 09 May 22

Crew was great and really friendly. Reef locations were spectacular. Overall a really great and worthwhile trip.

Aquila F.

Ben and the team were incredible. Very rough seas on the day we went out but the crew went above and beyond to accommodate.

Natalie D.

02:57 26 Apr 22

This was my second time to the reef and I really appreciated Ocean Freedom’s lower guests numbers. On the ride back there were so many beautiful treats. I highly recommend this company for your trip to the reef. No gold class/others division, everyone is treated with equal respect, kindness, and hospitality! I’d choose them again!

Laura Madonna M.

10:31 24 Apr 22

Had a brilliant day out on the reef with Ocean Freedom. Knowledgeable and friendly staff along with the smaller numbers of guest made this tour thoroughly enjoyable for our family of four (youngest 10). Snorkelling sites were brilliant and the highlight was to see some turtles thanks to their guides. The provided food was great and plenty of it (much to our children's joy). Would definitely recommend this environmentally friendly and family run cruise.

Hamish W.

03:07 24 Apr 22

Great experience out on the reef with fun and knowledgeable guides. 👍

Chris C.

08:44 22 Apr 22

My husband and I had the best day as intro scuba students. The crew was full of energy, super hospitable, accommodating, and most importantly patient while in the water getting comfortable with the equipment and our breathing before leaving the boat area. Our dive guide in particular Ambrose was super encouraging when I didn’t think I was capable of completing the demo of the technique we needed to go off on our own.Highly recommend this tour!!

Lindsay H.

23:22 18 Apr 22

My boyfriend and I booked this trip to celebrate our anniversary and had a really amazing time! The crew were all very accomodating and lovely. We felt safe and looked after the whole time. We both will recommend this to our family and friends.

Gloria C.

The crew were great. They went above and beyond.

Luke K.

10:42 15 Apr 22

An absolutely wonderful day! Green island was lovely for a short visit and the place for snorkelling on the reef was spectacular! So many different types of fish, giant trevally, colourful corals, black tip reef sharks and a sea turtle were among the highlights. 🦈🐠☀️Pascal and his team on Ocean Free were AMAZING people who were super friendly, funny, helpful and knowledgeable. Despite some rough weather, Pascal was a professional sailor and we were always in very safe hands. Thanks again for a wonderful day!!!

Rachel K.

23:34 12 Apr 22

What an amazing day out! Crew friendly, helpful, funny and really looked after everyone. Diving and snorkelling were stunning. Upolo Cay was so relaxing lying on the sand and watching the little waves roll in. My daughters first intro dive (aged 14) and although nervous the staff built up the rapport and trust quickly and she dived straight in! Highly recommended, we will go back!

Danny H.

Thank u so much. Best tour ever.

Great experience. Will organised, lots of good food and great service from Pascal, Chris and Cat. Reef experience was excellent especially in the afternoon on low tide

HM T.

00:39 08 Apr 22

We had the best time on board the Ocean Freedom for our Great Barrier Reef experience. I had my first-ever intro dive experience with them and I wouldn’t have it anywhere else. Chris, my dive instructor, made is easy and comfortable for me. The crew headed by Pascal, they were all amazing - fun and made us feel safe. Food was great, too. Couldn’t wait to do this again on our next visit and would of course recommend Ocean Freedom to all my family and friends. This truly was the highlight of our Cairns vacation.

Beatriz

21:08 07 Apr 22

From the get go, the crew and captain were entertaining and approachable with anything we wanted or needed. They took us for a guided snorkel, teaching us about certain things we found along the way. Super knowledgeable with any questions we had. Cold meats and salads for lunch topped it off aswell. Couldn’t recommend more highly

Haydo S.

04:25 31 Mar 22

Very happy we've chosen to go with these guys. Very friendly and helpful team.

Amazing day trip with Ben and his crew! The staff were attentive and full of knowledge about the reef. Would highly recommend for those looking for a day out on the reef!

Except for the relatively windy and rough conditions (for which we certainly cannot blame the staff of the Ocean Freedom!) this was a sensational one-day outing. Our booking was made through the Palm Cove Tourist Information and Booking Office. The staff recommended Ocean Freedom, based on our desire to snorkel over the reef, and with a relatively small group.Booking was easy, we were picked up on time by the friendly owner of International Coaches, and delivered to the door of the Reef Fleet Terminal. We checked in with a helpful, cheerful agent at the Ocean Freedom desk, and followed her directions to our boat.We were warmly welcomed by every crew member. The boat departed promptly at 8.00 a.m., and we were given an entertaining, humorous introduction to the day (and safety procedures).An hour later, we arrived at the edge of Upolu Cay. The crew handled everything calmly, thoroughly and in a most friendly manner. We were given as much snorkelling time as one could want before, and again after lunch. Both sessions involved time on a glass bottomed boat, which we would recommend.The friendly, knowledgeable crew appropriately looked after everyone, from timid first-time snorkelers to experienced SCUBA divers; no time was wasted.We would thoroughly recommend the Ocean Freedom.

The experience on board the Ocean Freedom exceeded all of my expectations. The crew were passionate and professional to everyone and assisted kindly to people who were nervous swimmers. I swam with a turtle, saw clown fish, starfish, sea cucumbers and hundreds and hundreds of fish. The food onboard was delicious and kept coming. The cakes at the end were a real treat. If you’d like to scuba dive, call and get the bookings to run through the safety questions first. It may avoid disappointment on the day if you require a medical clearance before you can dive. Worth every dollar for the smaller more intimate experience.

Absolutely incredible experience!!! Couldn’t recommend this company more. They are locally owned and have such an amazing crew. They take us to beautiful parts of the reef- we saw turtles, reef sharks, star fish, Nemo and so much more! On our boat ride out we saw a shark and a giant sea snake! They keep you constantly supplied with good food, tea and coffee, and a selection of drinks. If you have any doubt about which company to take your reef tour with- GO WITH OCEAN FREE OCEAN FREEDOM!!!

Honestly, after COVID and living through the endless dreary weather in Melbourne the day out on the reef was the perfect cure. Everything was fantastic and the locations where amazing. Such a great experience.

07:36 05 Mar 22

Exceptional day out. Outstanding service from when we first booked to being greeted on the boat and then scuba lessons. Staff were all super friendly and helpful, food on the boat was lovely and boat itself was in great condition. Loved the smaller numbers and got to know a lot of the others we were swimming with. Lovely day out. Would highly recommend the Intro dives for anyone who hasn't dived before. I saw so much more than when I just snorkled and felt super safe the whole time. 5 stars!

Tracy S.

08:55 02 Mar 22

The most AMAZING experience I have ever had. The crew were so good especially with my sea sick newly husband. They cared for him so well especially that he isn’t the best swimmer. The food was also really good too. One of the best snorkelling experience I have ever been on. I honestly highly recommend to everyone and will be coming back next time

Amazing experience, topped off by a fantastic crew! Despite our sea-sickness, the team ensured that we had the best possible trip on the reef.Thank you once again!

Exceptionally great day out on the reef. No other boats in sight, it felt like we had the reef to our self. Small group of people made it possible to accommodate individually to the point of having crew members assisting in the water with equipment and helping less confident swimmers. The snacks and lunch provided was of high quality and delicious. To top of the day, we seen dolphins on the way home. Thank you so much for this experience we made lifetime memories.

Frances G.

22:56 10 Feb 22

Thank you so much for an amazing day out at the reef! Felt so safe doing the scuba diving with very little previous experience with Matt who made sure we were okay the entire time. The reef was absolutely magical! Highly recommend this experience...so glad we chose Ocean Freedom.

Nicole S.

23:03 09 Feb 22

Had an amazing time snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef with the Ocean Freedom team. Great food, awesome boat and even better service. The team were friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable; teaching us as much as they could about the reefs.Would definitely recommend Ocean Freedom without a doubt.

Kiani C.

04:42 09 Feb 22

I had an amazing day with the Ocean Freedom cruise to the reef. The boat was brilliant, small group size and the staff were fantastic. They were friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely made it their misson to make sure each and every person had a good time. I would encourage anyone to book with this company.

Liam M.

10:07 04 Feb 22

We loved out day out on the reef. The boat was comfortable and well equipped and the food was plentiful! We went to two different snorkelling spots and both offered safe snorkelling for as long as we wanted with plenty to see. Crew were all knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Such a good day out. A must do.

Richard & Pip S.

05:16 31 Jan 22

Highly recommend ocean freedom. Amazing crew that provided us with the greatest day and experience. The day was very well planned out and everyone was taken care of both in and out of the water. Thanks to the wonderful crew and their guidance, the cruise is a wonderful experience for anyone, no matter their diving or snorkelling abilities.

Inuri M.

04:48 31 Jan 22

We did the ocean free sailing trip- ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!Staff are super friendly and VERY knowledgeable! Food was amazing, plenty of it. Snorkeling was incredible and green island was very pretty but would’ve stayed in the water to watch the underworld for hours! We got to pull the sail up for a bit and once again was just so fun.. I highly recommend this tour for a more intimate and informative tour.Thanks for sharing you passion with us Nick, Kat and MattJax and Saras

We had a wonderful trip out to the reef with this tour. The guides were fantastic and looked after us and made sure we had the best trip possible. My wife who isn’t a strong swimmer got an almost one on one snorkeling experience with Jen who was very knowledgeable and made her feel comfortable in the water. Highly recommended.

By far the best experience. The whole day was just amazing. The crew was so friendly, took us to amazing places to swim and snorkel. Would highly recommend going with this crew.

bintu C.

04:44 11 Jan 22

Amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was well-organised and the crew could not be faulted. The snacks and lunch selections were tasty and generous. Had sea sickness as usual, and they managed to still make it an enjoyable experience.Would definitely recommend to friends and family interested in snorkelling and intro dives.

Nikki N.

12:02 05 Jan 22

They promised to pamper and they did all the pampering a diver could handle! Food was awesome, staff was out of their way nice, the reef was the reef of course <3, but they did set up the noob ropes and floaters and found some prime spots for us to see.

Agnieszka M.

07:06 05 Jan 22

What an amazing experience we had with them! At first, when we arrived we were a bit doubtful upon checking the boat size. But these guys gave us an unforgettable experience proving they’re the best at every moment. From a warm welcome by staff on entering the boat to saying a goodbye in the end. Everything in between was so so perfect. Hospitality experience better than a 5 star hotel. Super friendly and entertaining staff, proper guidance on every step, delicious and continuous surprising food and drinks. I don’t know how to swim and I was really scared of scuba and I failed my first time. But they pushed me to retry once again and sent me with Taryn who was so so patient with me and took me through the whole reef tour. I couldn’t really believe I could do it after failing the first try but again thanks to Taryn and crew who helped so much in unlocking my achievement. 😂❤️ There’s so much good about these guys you can’t really write in reviews so go and try them. I hope we all can support this local business (Instead of falling for the ones with big boats, who won’t even say hello!) and help them grow more and more so they can provide these lifetime experiences to everyone out there!These guys are definitely the best reef company ever in Cairns! Thankyou so much team Ocean Freedom. See you next time!

Our family of 4 (2 kids 6yo and 12yo) had a great day today despite the dreary weather. The captain and crew are all so helpful and kind. It was crystal clear how genuinely they want you to have the best experience. I noted the captain a few times getting staff to check on specific passengers to make sure they were OK. Maximum guest numbers is 28 so not over crowded. They provided so much beautiful and fresh food and it was plentiful. I had packed extra snacks because often it can be lacking but not here. Highly recommend joining the crew when you are in Cairns.

Jane D.

01:52 25 Jun 22

I had a lovely experience on this tour. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great. Met some lovely people on the tour from overseas and other parts of Australia. Snorkelling was amazing and I learnt a little about the Great Barrier Reef on the Glass Bottom Boat tour. Hope to do this tour again and hopefully try diving next time.

Having a smaller group setting makes it so much more personal. We were served an amazing breakfast/morning tea, delicious lunch of seafood, meats and yummy salads and 3 courses of amazing afternoon tea. The team also kindly presented us with a certificate to celebrate our honeymoon and a glass of bubbly each! Not to mention the amazing snorkelling experience. We had an amazing day and met so many lovely people 💕

Had a great experience from booking to the actual day.

Amanda and Richard from the booking side - were extremely helpful.
My initial booking with Viator.com went wrong & got charged by them after they randomly cancelled my booking. Both Amanda & Richard patiently provided advice to ensure I still have a booking directly with Oceanfree (ditch Viator!!) and Richard also provided me with all the relevant info to help me get my refund!
On the other hand, Amanda further showed her hospitality spirit and shared her personal experience around Cairns with me (I ended up booking a waterrafting tour based on her recommendation, and it turned out great!!)

On the Oceanfree that day (27th Mar 22), the crew were extremely lovely, fun, and great hospitality. Overall myself & partner loved the entire day out, made our day & trip ☺️

Thanks!!!

What an amazing day on the reef with the Ocean Freedom crew. We were inexperienced snorkelers but we loved how we could explore the reef at our own pace. Getting to see two reef locations made it a great experience. The crew put on a delicious lunch and catered for us all day with fresh fruit and other platters. The day was capped off when I went to pay for our drinks and the crew had wiped our bar tab and presented us a certificate to congratulate my wife and I on our honeymoon. We will definitely be back! 🛥 😊

Crew was so helpful in making sure snorkelling at 2 different spots was a memorable experience of the reef.We swam with turtles,saw reef shark and plenty of beautiful fishes in the reef.
Glassboat tour, Heaps of time in and on the water and food is served throughout the day.
Highly highly recommended.

Personalised Service is only one of the many wonderful experiences we had at The Great Barrier Reef. The crew members were fantastic, giving out information were serious and funny 😆; food 🥘 is delectable 🤤 and the day was perfect . This is my second visit to the Reef and my experience this time is super; smaller groups are better than bigger ones.
My grandchildren had a time of their lives snorkelling and creating friendship.
Thumbs up 👍 to your team; you have done well! To little Millie, you are more than amazing to behold 😊; you have an enviable life at sea, an inspiration to other children on board. To Gorgeous Amanda and the rest of the group; thank you for getting out of your way to make Joshua and everyone happy by making that special trip just for him to get back to the water 💦 🚿 💧
Ocean Free and Ocean Freedom is highly recommended 😍

We enjoyed every minute of our experience with you guys. The day was picture perfect & the staff were super chilled & super helpful. The food was awesome from the fruit & pastries, to a great spread for lunch right through to crackers & cheeses, fruit & even cake. We could get a nice cold beer as well.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🐟✔️💦👌🏻

We were fortunate to go on both Ocean Free & Freedom and had amazingly beautiful days snorkelling in pristine conditions. I can't speak highly enough of the crew, their priority was fun and safety. Thank you to "welsh" Liam ( I was considering a dive on Freedom if you were there), Matt (great to see you again for both days), skipper Pascal, Chris, "Pete" & skipper Ben. I highly recommend!
I need to add that the lovely Esme .... organised bubbles & celebrations for 3 guests b'days & an anniversary, thank you Esme☺️

We waited to find the right reef tour until we arrived in Cairns, the amount of tours pulled up by online searches were overwhelming, and it felt impossible to know what was a tourist trap, and what was not.

When getting to Cairns we settled on Ocean Freedom, and I’m pretty glad we did! They take a much smaller number of passengers than the other tours, and it meant a lot of one on one time with the crew, and that it was easy to get to know the other passengers if you wanted to.

The entire tour the crew are super personable, attentive, and vigilant in making sure that everyone on board is having a good time. My partner and I were both quite nervous, especially once seeing how deep the water was (it was high tide) in some areas we had to snorkel through before getting to the reef. Whilst I found myself managing pretty well after a couple of minutes, and for the rest of the day, my partner had a pretty big spook about the whole thing, and wasn’t really comfortable with getting into the water for the rest of the day.

The crew were so understanding, and handled the whole situation spectacularly. My partner has since told me that he received consolation and offers to make getting into the water more comfortable for him on multiple occasions from multiple staff. Even through all of that, my partner still wasn’t quiet prepared to get into the water again unfortunately, but that was purely his choice, and doesn’t reflect on Ocean Freedom at all. Even though he didn’t get back into the water, he still says he really enjoyed himself, getting to spot multiple turtles from the boat, and enjoying a couple of the glass bottom boat tours also offered by the crew.

Lunch was also great, my only regret was not signing up to scuba, I would have loved it.

Something for future passengers to consider, would be the tide. If you can organise it to be on a lower tide, do that! Obviously not always possible, but if you can catch the low tide, that would be awesome!

Thanks a million Ocean Freedom crew, you guys were gold, and I’ll send all my friends your way ☺️

For anyone considering a GBR tour, could not recommend these fabulous crew members enough.
I deliberated long and hard to choose the right experience, and this was spot on!! Small boat numbers gave highly personal touch and attention, felt safe and cared for - just perfect. Matt and Jen were fantastic at taking us on Scuba experience - very calm and gentle, so professional. Liam and Ben were great guys, cracking humour from Liam, both so knowledgable and educating about the reef - lovely gang.
My dream of seeing Turtles fulfilled and Matt and Liam dispelled the shark stress for our daughter - loved it ❤

We enjoyed A1 friendly service and an absolutely perfect and memorable experience. I felt completely at ease with the competent staff assisting me with every step I made both on and off the boat. Lunch was delicious and expertly organised. I appreciate the hard work that goes into preparing and executing a safe and enjoyable experience for a large quantity of diverse individuals...you all did this amazingly well. a big shout out to my wonderful support man Liam on Monday 21/6. The best belated 60th birthday present was being up close and witnessing the resident turtle feeding.

Caroline F.

11:41 28 Jun 21

having been on a pontoon trip earlier this week I was a bit sceptical about being on a boat all day...but this crew was out of this world amazing!! so easygoing yet professional, despite windy rough conditions they did their best to make sure we all had a great day and even took my 2 kids on a guided snorkel tour. smaller boat means less passengers and a more personalised experience...6 stars out of 5 if that's possible 🐙🐟🐠🏝😁😁

From start to end, i can't express my feelings in words. The crew on board did more than anyone could ask for. One thing that didn't leave these guys was a smile on their face. The crew helped through everything with a big smile on their face. My wife, my 4 year old (Rohan) and I had a blast. I lived snorkeling at the reef. The staff were very knowledgeable and very catering for everyone's needs. I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. You guys rock.

Had an amazing day out at the Great Barrier Reef today and couldn’t have asked for a better crew Sophie taught us how to scuba and was absolutely amazing and understanding she made us comfortable and took it slow with us. Scott was a great skipper and the whole team was super friendly and funny. Made the whole experience very welcoming. We were able to stop at two areas today to explore what this beautiful place has to offer and lunch on the cruise, and snacks throughout the day. The crew also taught us about the wildlife and cool facts along the way. Would highly recommend these guys!

Had an amazing day (11/1/21). I had never scuba dived before and today with your awesome staff i managed to cross that off my bucket list. It was an awesome experience that I will never forget. The snorkelling was also very good- but I love snorkelling- (anyone can do it.) Both reefs we visited had such an abundance of sea life. The staff really cared that we had a great day. We had a lovely lunch followed by more snorkelling at the second reef before we were served fruit, cheese and crackers on the trip home.
Highly recommend this day trip to anyone, of any age.......

Thank you to Perry and his team. The No. 1 A-Team for one of the most amazing experiences on the Great Barrier Reef.

Absolutely a professional team - from the welcome, to the cleanliness, the food (so much food) the friendliness and knowledge of sharing their passion of the ocean and reef with us to guiding and even looking after our family who were a party of (7) and rookies at this. We had so much fun and a lot of laughs.

I especially loved how professional they were with monitoring the safety of the guests constantly from the boat as we snorkelled, and serving us and treating us with so much respect. They really made it a fun experience.

The Reef was so beautiful. Highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed. I would love to come back and do it again.

The team at Ocean Freedom Cruise made our experience on the Great Barrier Reef such a fun a memorable one from the beginning right to the end, so knowledgeable and attentive to all onboard catering for different levels of experience.

A very clean and comfortable boat, with plenty of room to move and relax when not in the water. Delicious lunch served in addition to fruit, cheese and cake offered for afternoon tea.

We cannot fault our experience with Ocean Freedom and would book again in a heart beat !
