Was amazing, saw 3 turtles, heaps of fish, some amazing coral, massive giant clams and even a huge lobster, Kiana and Brandon were both great, very knowledgeable and friendly, more then happy to have a chat and try and figure out what fish we saw

This was an exceptional experience only made better by Brandon our skipper and Kiana our guide. They were both so passionate and informative about their work. They also made sure we had an outstanding time. My wife and I were convinced by the wonderful Sofia at the reception desk that today was the day to go; she was so right. We had the 4 hour tour. We started with getting our stinger suits and a briefing at the office, then walked over to the beach to get onto the boat. The tour had only 20 or so people on the tour which made for a great size. Not too many people at all. Because everyone were capable swimmers, we were able to see so much of the reef. Saw about 5 green sea turtles plus so much sea life. I would do it again tomorrow. Thanks again all.

I’ve done several tours with Ocean Safari in the past, but this was by far the best one yet thanks to Keyana and Liam. We saw turtles, reef sharks, rays, lots of beautiful fish, and some very healthy coral. Keyana went out of her way to find turtles for me as we hadn’t seen one on the previous tour, and she found two. The service in the shop was friendly as always, and everything was really well organised and communicated from start to finish. Thanks guys

We had so much fun- highly reccomend. We swam with three turtles! And the guides were brilliant. Lots to see on the reef and plenty of time to do it in.

A big shout out to Keyana for helping me out with my first snorkeling experience!! She was so kind and patient with me, knowing I did not know how to swim. Will never forget this day and recommend friends to try this!!

We are a school group who for the 4th year in a row have brought up 30 Year 12 students from NSW as they are studying the GBR. This year was even better than any experience we have had at Ocean Safari. Firstly, Emma is fantastic at organising and ensuring everything goes smoothly with our bookings. Brandon did an incredible job presenting to the students the evening before for an hour where he ensured they had a great understanding of the value of the reef and their role in its management with Eye on the Reef. Additionally, Charly and Cody did a fantastic job guiding the students on the snorkel and through the activities. The team made it safe, entertaining and educational! Could not recommend them more.

A truly wonderful experience snorkelling on the Great Barrier in beautifully clear water. We saw a turtle, a reef shark , giant clams and many fish. We were well cared for by the friendly and knowledgeable Ocean Safari staff. Being in our late sixties was not an impediment to having an excellent time.highly recommended!!!

What a great experience and exceeded expectations! The boat was fast and comfy, the staff friendly and helpful. Great location viewing the Great Barrier Reef. Cody was an amazing guide and topped off the experience.

We had a wonderful snorkelling experience- we went to the Great Barrier Reef by boat.The Staff (Charlie!& her younger colleague, Brendan and Liam ) were very helpful on the boat and on finding interesting animals, f.i. turtles. We can definitely recommend iit!
