Wife and I went out to Mackay reef. The service was great. Very friendly and they checked we were feeling comfortable on the quick boat trip to the reef. A mixture including youngish children (e.g. 8 years old?) were onboard and all went OK. The reef was fantastic and surpassed other coral I had see (e.g. North West Island, which... More

A wonderful trip, the highlight of our holiday I think. Our children (aged 7 & 9) who hadn't snorkelled in the open sea before were very well looked after, and the guide gave us a fantastic tour of the reef and creatures. Turtles were gorgeous. Reef colours not as bright as they were further south, in Cairns, though. Only thing... More

We were the only boat on the... More

The small group format and manouvreability of the vessel allows the guides to deliver the group directly into the best viewing area on the day. They took us to Mackay Reef... More

Only a short trip to the reef with a small number of people, we were given individual attention and plenty of time to snorkel in several areas of the reef.The equipment was excellent... More

I had the best time snorkelling with Ocean Safari! Since going out with them I have been on other snorkelling tours and they have not even come close to comparing with the experience I had on Ocean Safari. The team working at Ocean Safari are so passionate and friendly - you can tell they really love their jobs. They were... More

Guys at Ocean Safari are miracle workers, they made it possible for a 50+ non-swimmer to experience first time the magic of snorkeling on the GBR ! I'm basically a non-swimmer, and even if I'm quite active I never did any water sports. My long time dream was to experience first hand the magic of underwater tropical reef. Planning a... More
