Unforgettable GBR Luxury Snorkel & Dive Cruise from Cairns

What an awesome experience. The staff was incredible friendl and helpful. The food was also so tasty. We had a wonderful time. Thank you for this unforgettably experience.

Really excellent trip. Fantastic friendly & knowlegeable staff, very well informed. Food was tremendous !

If you’re scared to dive or even thinking “maybe this isn’t for me,” book with this crew. Every single person on board, Storm, Tori, Daniel, Archie and others created the safest, calmest, most encouraging environment I could’ve imagined. I came in genuinely terrified, and Tori and the team on the boat checked on me constantly, explained everything without judgment, and made me feel so supported before I even touched the water. When it was time to dive, the team was unbelievably patient, even when I held Daniel’s arm a bit too tight haha. They never rushed me, never made me feel silly, and talked me through every step until I felt confident enough to try. And then… I actually dove. And loved it. This experience went so far beyond what I expected - and I don’t write reviews - the whole crew works together like a family, and they treat you like one too. I’m already looking into getting my diving certificate because of how safe and empowered they made me feel. If you think you “can’t” dive… this is the team that will change your mind!!

The trip started with pastries in the lower deck and ended with cakes being served right at where we sat, mix in between exploring and enjoying the Great Barrier Reef, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World! The crew pays attention to the needs of people, from guiding non-swimmer to enjoy the reef to leading strong swimmers to more exciting locations, one thing we can all feel, was the care of safety of everyone and the surrounding environment. It’s a smaller boat, which means that the crew member to the passengers ratio is greater! Good news to all of us😆! The Wonder Wall of the Upolu Reef was fun and the waters are calm, which means you can really enjoy the snorkeling experience. On the way back, it was one surprise after another, started out with the fruits, then the cheese and crackers and finally a the cakes. Did I mention the lunch? Anyway, you are here for the reef experience, which is awesome, and all these food are just cherry on the top! Great job Ocean Freedom! And BTW, Happy Birthday to our Captain, Ryan, on the day we participated! Only downside, a group of people who are not considerate and occupied the stern as if they own it! Everything else was great!

Had a great experience snorkeling with Ocean Freedom. Positives: staff are so welcoming and patient, they always made sure that you are safe. They supplied sunblock on board. The ride on the boat was quite breezy and refreshing despite heat warning. We saw a turtle, clams, so many different fishes with vibrant colors. Feedback: with the crowds of both divers and snorkelers, lot of the sea life were hiding in the reefs. The food was average as well but can’t complain as it did the job! Would go back on the Ocean Free next time with less people.

Great day visiting the reef. Everything was top notch and the crew was a delight!! I would highly recommend it if you are wanting a wonderful day seeing the reef!!

The crew was exceptional and looked after the tourers every need. The day started out rough and the water was very murky but the crew moved us around the reef looking for a better location. There efforts paid off and we experienced the wonders of the reef. Food was fresh and a good variety and the boat well equipped.

This was an awesome snorkeling experience on the Great Barrier Reef. We had plenty of time in the water without feeling bored as they had several options for seeing the reef. There was also plenty of food which we appreciated after a long day in the water and sun!

the team was very friendly. as first time snorkeling couple, we find it very easy to learn. we have guided staff with us the whole time. saw many sea life!! there was also plenty of fruit and food for lunch and snacks on. thank you for helping us having great experience to the reefs

Trip was fantastic. Relaxed journey to the reef, plenty of snacks and food options at lunch. Loved the cheese and crackers. Simone (might be spelled wrong) gets a shout-out for being a good dive leader and crew member. He and my wife had a great chat about Italian fossils as well. Amazing value for the price. Left by 8am and was back by 4:30pm. Would recommend!
