Felt safe and watched with Ken in boat and Jamie in the water.

Alex_E, Aug 2025
Please note that the tour we received was not the tour that we signed up and paid for. Although we were pleased and enjoyed the tour, the one we paid for was $245/ per person and was the Turtle Trek that included a ride on the quad bikes - itinerary number 14308289 booked under Alex Evans, email: alex4orly@gmail.com. The Turtle tour on the boat looks like the cost was $145/ per person. Please put through a refund for the cost difference.
Thank you for your attention to and understanding in this matter.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Alex
Unfortunately we can’t refund you as we only get paid the amount our tour costs . This is obviously a problem with agent you booked thru ,when it comes to how much you were charged. Our turtle tour on the site does not say anything about quad bikes as we are only a snorkel tour on a boat . I’m sorry you didn’t get what you thought you had booked but you also never mentioned anything during your tour. It seems there may have been a problem with your booking that can only be sorted by talking with your booking agent.

A relaxed, no fuss snorkelling adventure. Great staff and incredible snorkelling at two very different spots in the Ningaloo reef. We saw turtles, reef sharks, an octopus, a huge stingray and of course plenty of beautiful fish. Highly recommend this tour to complement your snorkelling experiences in Exmouth.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thanks for taking the time to review us ! At cape immersion we are so glad we made you day so enjoyable and special. We are the only company who only do snorkeling in Exmouth because it’s better to be great at one thing . For us it’s all about your experience with the Ningaloo. We look forward to seeing you again someday

Team is great, sites were terrific and we saw dolphins, turtles, reef sharks and a bazilllion multi coloured fish. The vessel has a ladder to get out of the water which was important for me.

wendy_p, Dec 2024
Amazing! I took two fourteen year olds on this experience and we all loved it. Janine is an excellent guide and really reassured one of my girls who had questions about reef sharks. So reassuring that while we were in the water, and had seen some sharks, my girl dove down to look in a cave at even more sharks up close! Such in depth knowledge of all the marine creatures we saw, what they were doing, how close we could get etc. The respect Janine and Ken have for the reef and its natural inhabitants is just beautiful to see/hear and it spoke volumes to us being in the right hands for this unforgettable experience. Incredibly informative and a fabulous way to spend the morning. We saw turtles, sharks, stingrays, dolphins, and so many beautiful fish of all shapes, sizes, and colours. I really can't recommend this tour enough.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thanks Wendy , me and Janine both love to be able to show people the natural beauty and creatures of this amazing area . We are glad you all enjoyed the experience and we hope to see you again someday
Emily_C, Nov 2024
Ken and Janine were both great tour guides. Bus ride to the jetty was very interesting learning new facts about Exmouth. Boat ride, explanations, gear fitting, snorkelling areas and snacks were all perfect! Everyone around town recommended this company for snorkelling and we can now see why.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thanks for the great review Emily. Every tour we try our best to provide a safe , comfortable, informative and enjoyable experience for everyone. Janine and I and really appreciate that you had a great day . We hope to see you again someday
Lisa_L, Nov 2024
Everything ran smooth as clockwork. Even all the critters turned up! Saw dolphins rays sharks and of course turtles. Even an octopus. Friendly informative guide who inspired oonfidence in all snorkellers by giving clear instructions before entering the water as to what was expected of us and what she would be doing. It was much better than we had hoped and a TOP day! Thoroughly recommend.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thanks Lisa for the great review, we are so happy you enjoyed your day with us and got to see so much wildlife. We strive to make everyone’s day as enjoyable and special. We hope to see you again someday

Nicole_F, Oct 2024
Great tour, great value for money! Ken and his crew were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the reef and the marine life. We saw turtles, reef sharks and many varieties of fish swimming amongst the coral reef. Amazing experience better than we expected and highly recommend it. Even the morning tea was delicious. A couple of tips - take a wetsuit as the water is cool and you’re in it for two swims of around 45mins each. And take a waterproof camera.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thanks Nicole for your review we love hearing from our guests . We are so happy you had a great time that’s what we aim to do . We do hope to see you again someday
Enoch_T, Oct 2024
Bus to pick us up from accommodation was prompt and the guides friendly and knowledgeable. A short boat ride and we arrived at some spectacular coral reefs with lots of fish and a turtle too. This was as good a snorkel as I've been on and the kids loved it, seeing all sorts of wildlife.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thanks for the great review we are happy we made your day special for the kids . We hope to see you again someday

A fantastic tour, a small intimate group with an awesome crew. The snorkeling was amazing the staff were helpful and supportive. All equipment provided the crew stay with you in the water. Two sites visited we saw amazing fish, large stingrays and turtles. Ken the skipper was great. Nice area to relax on the boat.

We saw turtles and dugongs and both Ken and Janine were fabulous and very helpful. We had our own gear but they had plenty for those who didn’t have any. Well worth it and will definitely go again

Swimming with two turtles, seeing an octopus and three dugongs. Reminds me a lot of Mozambique.
Thank you!

Kate_W, Jun 2024
Had a great time on this tour! The water was pretty choppy while I was there, so they opted to take us to one snorkel spot and gave us a longer time there. I was surprised by how much life was in this one spot! We saw a turtle, an octopus, and a huge variety or fish and coral. The crew was great and made sure everyone was taken care of and enjoying themselves. I would say that the amount of time in the water was less than I expected (about an hour) as it’s a ways out of town, then it also takes time to get to the spots with the boat, but with the wind and waves it was about the perfect amount of time for me. Would recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hi Kate
Thanks for the review and we are very happy you had a great time . That day was a bit choppy and most of the sites had bad visibility, so we have to work with the conditions on the day . Obviously on nice days with good visibility we get longer snorkeling time as we can choose from closer sites. We hope to see you again someday
Peter_B, Jun 2024
We had a lovely morning with Ken and Janine and Jamie. It was a brisk morning but once in the water the beautiful reef opened up its many treasures. We saw turtles and many beautiful fish. We were well looked after. Highly recommend
