The way to see the reef! - The team was top notch! They made us feel safe and comfortable but also educated us and made it all a ton of fun for everyone. Plus the lunch and snacks were delicious!

BEST SNORKELLING EXPERIENCE EVER - Booked on this boat because there would be no more than 12 people on the trip, friendly crew knew exactly what they were doing,quality of the snorkelling was fantastic The crew couldn’t have made the day go any better. Would I book again? 100%. I will.

Dream day ❤️ - If you are in any doubt about booking this small group tour just read the reviews! We have just returned from a fantastic trip. The small group of just 12 paying guests were looked after so well by three marine biologists. I was anxious as had never snorkelled before but I needn’t have been nervous as Will looked after me throughout. We saw thousands of different fish, two turtles and my husband saw a black tip reef shark. It was a beautiful sunny day and very calm water. We have taken away memories which will last forever. Thank you to the three marine biologists and Jason the Captain.

Best day in Australia - Besides snorkeling, they also offer diving in really small groups. Incredibly good! If you see the mass tourism on the other boats (sometimes over 300 divers and snorkelers) you know that the slightly higher price is absolutely worth its money. Maximum 12 people on board with 3 guides.

Superb snorkel trip to Great Barrier Reef. - Fantastic personalized experience. Crew was knowledgeable and well organized. Four of us snorkeled and the other eight did scuba. Equipment was excellent. Several marine biologists on board took the time to orient us before snorkeling. Our snorkel guide, Manon, was fantastic in the water, making sure we saw reef features that we surely would have missed if we were on our own and made sure that we were safe nd well looked after. The small boat could ge to undisturbed places on the reef that the larger boats couldn’t go. If you can swing it, the higher cost of this small group trip over the large boats is definitely worth it!

Magical experience on the reef - The reef experience was magical, we were able to go to quiet areas that felt like there was no one else around which was great. The crew made us feel safe and comfortable and helped my mum when she was struggling to ensure she’d still be able to experience the reef. We’d highly recommend using ABC and the small group trips they run!

A perfect reef excursion! - The entire crew was so attentive and friendly. We snorkeled two amazing reefs. One of our group was a bit water challenged and Paula was so patient, helpful, and reassuring. I highly recommend taking a small reef excursion like ABC rather than a large one. We all felt safe and comfortable the entire day. Highly recommend!

10/10 Experience - The trip couldn’t have been any better. My group of four was very well taken care of. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. I especially love how well they cared for my 73 year old mom who doesn’t consider herself to be a strong swimmer. A once in a lifetime experience with a five star staff. 10/10 recommended!

Great Snorkeling Tour - I had a wonderful experience on a snorkeling trip to the Great Barrier Reef with ABC Reef Safaris. The boat was well maintained and Captain Jason was very competent. The staff of Zoe, Will and Paula were great. I especially enjoyed the knowledge they shared as Marine Biologists. The limited number of people on board allowed group sizes of only six or seven while in the water. I would highly recommend this tour for people that want a more customized snorkeling experience lead by trained biologists.
