The Great Barrier Reef was a long time bucket list item for me and my husband. The team at ABC brought that dream to life with their exceptional service, attentiveness, and overall hospitality. We were able to add a hotel pic up/ drop off which allowed for us to travel there worry free with our exceptional driver and guide from the boat crew. What truly made this trip stand out was the staff: guest ratio- it was almost 1:1! In addition, our snorkels were lead by a marine biologist who took care throughout the time in the water to point out things to see down below and explain the sea life we were seeing. My husband had recently had surgery and every staff member on the boat knew to keep an extra eye on him in the water. Instead of just giving us gear, staff made sure we were all meticulously outfitted and comfortable before entering the water. The boat was only 4 months old - large and spotless- with plenty of room for all.
Bottom line, if I could give ABC a 6 out of 5 stars I would and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know seeking to fulfill a bucket list snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. It was a perfect day because of the ABC crew!

Hi Harriet,
WOW a 6 star review says it all!! Thank you so much it means the world to our whole team. 🌊
We’re honoured that your Great Barrier Reef adventure was a bucket list experience for you and your husband, and even happier to hear we could help bring that dream to life. It’s wonderful to know the hotel transfer, the attentive service from the crew, and the time spent making sure everyone was comfortable in the water helped make the day relaxed and worry-free. Looking after every guest especially when someone needs a little extra care is something we take very seriously, so your kind words really mean a lot. We are so pleased your husband was able to experinece the reef even though he was restricted after his shoulder operation.
Our small group philosophy and industry-leading crew-to-guest ratio is something we’re very proud of. It allows our marine biologist guides to spend real time with guests in the water, pointing out marine life and sharing the stories behind the reef rather than just sending people off to snorkel on their own. 🐠🪸
We’re also glad you enjoyed our brand new custom-built catamaran Voyager. She was designed specifically for comfortable outer reef adventures — spacious, stable, and with plenty of room to relax between snorkels while taking in the Great Barrier Reef views.
A “6 out of 5 stars” might just be the best compliment we could receive. Thank you for recommending ABC Reef Safaris so highly — we feel very lucky to share the reef with wonderful guests like you and your husband.
Warm reef wishes,
The ABC Reef Safaris crew ⚓️

An incredible snorkel experience! The crew were knowledgeable and super friendly. The boat was brand new and very comfortable, and the smaller passenger count delivered a more personal touch. We also did a different trip on a much larger boat with another outfitter and can definitely say that ABC’s more intimate experience is worth the splurge. Lunch was also very good!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for taking the time to review your day with ABC Reef Safaris ✨
We’re proud to share the reef from our brand-new, custom luxury catamaran, 100% Australian built just down the road in Brisbane and brought straight to Port Douglas 🛥️💎 With a spacious, fully air-conditioned saloon and a relaxed gourmet grazing-style lunch prepared by local chefs, it’s all about pairing incredible reef experiences with comfort on board 🥗🌞
We’re so glad you could see the value in an ABC reef day and treat yourselves to something a little special 🩵🌈
fiona_s, Dec 2025
Fantastic - truly a small group (8 guests) with wonderful crew! We were taken to two snorkel areas and saw so many different types of fish and coral. The crew were very professional and well informed and split us into groups of four to snorkel with a leader who gave us lots of information of what we were . We were given plenty of food, hot tea and pastries, orange slicesand a chicken wrap for lunch.Highly recommend
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for the lovely review!
It’s great to hear the guided snorkelling, reef insights and relaxed pace made a difference, and of course we’re glad the food, hot tea and pastries kept everyone happy and fuelled between swims. ☕🥐
Thanks again for the recommendation and for choosing to explore the reef the ABC way. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure one day! 🌊😊

Amazing experience! Super intimate group size, and worth every penny. The instructors / guides were incredibly informative and wonderful.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

Great day! Was so enjoyable that 7-8h were flying. We got great explanations from the grew and it felt always safe and comfortable. Great experience. Big thank you to the team and the skipper. Frank ;-), enjoy your beers, well deserved!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thanks so much for the lovely review Frank! 🌞

I can honestly say this trip was worth every penny! The crew and the whole experience was amazing from beginning to end! Zoe was exceptional!!! I could not recommend this trip anymore!! If you are on the fence do it!

Outstanding! Will and Zoe were so caring and attentive to our family's needs both in the water as well as on the boat. Totally worth it!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Big smiles reading this! Thank you! 😄🐠
Will and Zoe will be so happy to hear how much their care and attention meant to your family, both on deck and in the water. That’s exactly what our little snorkel safaris are all about: relaxed, safe, and personal.
We’re so glad it felt totally worth it, and we’d love to welcome you back for round two whenever you’re ready for more reef time! 🌊✨

Janice_L, Aug 2025
Fabulous experience! The small group of 12 with two marine biologist couldn’t have been better. We were given a 15 to 20 minute lecture on the different marine life in the reef before arriving at the reef. While snorkeling, the biologists pointed out structures and wildlife on the reef in great detail. The staff works extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The food was good and fresh. Highly recommend can’t wait to return.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks a million for the glowing feedback! 🌊🐠
We’re so happy you enjoyed the magic of exploring the reef in our intimate 12-passenger group, and with two marine biologists on board, you really do get the inside scoop on what’s going on beneath the surface. That pre-snorkel reef talk is one of our favourite parts of the day too, setting the scene for everything you’re about to see.
It’s wonderful to hear you appreciated the in-water guiding and all the little details our crew loves to point out, from intricate coral formations to fascinating marine life you might otherwise miss. Fresh, tasty food and a friendly, knowledgeable team are just the cherry on top.
We can’t wait to welcome you back for another reef adventure! 🪸🥰
Natalie_R, Jun 2025
It is personalized and fantastic. The boat trip is further than expected but gets you to the most awesome reef
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks so much for the great review!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the personalised experience. It’s what we’re all about. Going that little bit further really does make a difference, getting us to remote, vibrant reef sites that few others visit.
Whether you're diving or snorkelling, it's always worth the extra miles when the reef looks like that!
Hope to sea you again one day 🐠⛵🌴

Jacob_H, Jun 2025
No other experience guarantees a snorkel group of <12 which is already worth the money, but to have two marine biologists with you makes the experience exceptional! It was a real treat to share in their knowledge and experience both on the boat and in the water! Food was good and having access to a toilet was nice. Despite a clear sunny day, waves were very rough. Do not skip taking sea sickness pills (they sell some on the boat prior to leaving if needed).
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you Jacob for the glowing review and the two thumbs up!
We’re so pleased you enjoyed the day with our marine biologist guides. Sharing the reef with small groups and passionate crew is what makes our Snorkel Safaris so special. It’s great to hear you felt that both on board and in the water!
And yes, sometimes the ocean likes to add a bit of drama even on sunny days... good call on the seasick tablets! We always keep a stash on board just in case.
Thanks again for joining us. We'd love to sea you again for another reef adventure one day 🐠☀️🌊

Lee_W, May 2025
Just beyond the coast of Port Douglas, Queensland Australia is an amazing Sea Life. Zoe, Will and Captain Jason were the perfect guides for our snorkeling adventure among the corral and fish. Such a perfect trip with amazing guides filled with detailed tidbits about the reef and its wildlife.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thanks so much for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your Snorkel Safari with Zoe, Will and Jason. They really know how to bring the reef to life with those fun facts and friendly guidance.
One of the things we love most is keeping our groups small so everyone gets that extra bit of care and attention, and a fully guided experience makes it all the more memorable.
It was a pleasure having you on board and we’d love to welcome you back for more reef discoveries next time you're in Port Douglas! 🐟☀️🌴

Sarah_B, Apr 2025
This was the highlight of our 4 week trip! By far the most amazing excursion we have been on in our travels, and an amazing way to explore the GBR. The small group and experienced guides were fantastic. We saw so much of the reef and the animals that inhabit it. Our group guide on the boat was Will, and he was so knowledgeable and kind when in the water! He truly loves what he does and loves sharing his marine biologist knowledge with us! We loved it too! We couldn’t believe all the things we saw and rented the go pro (so worth it!!) to capture what we experienced. The price may seem daunting to some but trust us, it is worth EVERY CENT! We 120% will come back to do it again one day!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
120% amazing guests deserve a 120% thank you! 🙌🐠
It means the world to hear that your snorkel safari with ABC was the highlight of your whole trip. Small groups, passionate marine biologists, and a whole underwater wonderland... it really is something special and we are so glad you got to experience it all! We hope your GoPro is packed full of amazing memories to look back on until you come visit us again.
Until next time, the reef will be waiting! 🐢🌴🐠

This was a wonderful day of experiencing the breathtaking views of snorkeling on and in the Great Barrier Reef. Jason, Kris, Zoe and Will were all fabulous hosts. The boat, Lycra suits and snorkeling equipment were excellent. Highly recommend this experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Many, many thanks! 💙
We absolutely loved reading your amazing 5-star review thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience!
It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the day out on the reef and that Jason, Kris, Zoe and Will helped make it so special. They’ll be chuffed to hear your kind words! We’re also so glad the gear and boat added to the experience it's all part of making sure your day is as smooth and memorable as possible.
Thanks again for the heartfelt recommendation we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

This is an excellent tour option for those that do not like big crowds. This tour is capped at 12 people and it was perfect. Our guides, Sam and Jess, were very professional and experts in their field. Highly recommended for those that prefer smaller groups.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Excellence is what we strive for, and we're so happy to hear that you had a fantastic experience with us! We're glad our small group size and focus on low-impact tourism made your day even more enjoyable. By exploring varied and less-visited sites, we can help protect the reef from overuse while still offering incredible, vibrant experiences.
Thank you so much for the recommendation and all the best with your travels!

Vince_F, Nov 2024
Paula our snorkeling guide (and Marine Biologist) was awesome and very knowlegable! Jason our Skipper, took us to two great spots on the reef where we saw giant clams, clown fish (Nemo), parrotfish, pufferfish, stingrays, sea cucumbers, and many schools of interesting other fish! It was a very educational one on one type of excursion that we would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Dear Vince,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
We love that you appreciated the personal, educational approach. It’s something we really pride ourselves on. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you back for another amazing adventure on the Great Barrier Reef!

Derek_W, Nov 2024
With only 12 clients on the boat, the knowledgeable marine expert guides ensure all equipment fits right, works, and it is of high quality. Their expertise on the water makes sure your experience is safe, fun, and memorable. This boat can go where the big boats can’t! Much more up close, personal, and viewable experience! Snacks and food were good too!
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Dear Derek. Absolutely LOVE that you had a phenomenal day with us! We are so lucky to get to these amazing, pristine sites on the outer-reef, and are pleased that you could appreciate all the finer details of the experience.
Hope to see you out there again one day!

Absolutely excellent experience for me and my wife. We are nearly 70 years old and my wife is a poor swimmer. They took excellent care of us and we were able to check off a bucket list item.

By far the best snorkeling experience we have ever had…the marine biologist Sam & Callum were phenomenal. Both of them were super helpful, knowledgeable, & easy going. I personally didn’t get a go pro but Sam was getting videos and photos for a girl throughout the entire day. They also recommended a few local spots for beer and snacks. The small group tour is by far the way to go. My husband and I had a fabulous time with the crew! Super chill and so informative of the water and marine life!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Great title! Love it!
Amazing to hear such awesome feedback! Really happy that we could help make your visit to the Great Barrier Reef special.
Our handpicked team really love what they do. Its our goal to make the day as fun & educational as possible for all our guests. We hope that everyone that joins us can really satisfy their curiosity about the marine biology of the reef. As you mentioned it, our rental GoPros are an amazing way to capture memories from the day in crystal clear quality our guides are only too happy to dive down & get you some awesome close-ups!
We hope to see you Both again for another spectacular trip.
A big thanks from the whole team here at ABC.
Serena_B, Sep 2024
Being able to view the reef and have the guides explain in detail what we were seeing. We had a small group, 10 and two guides so I felt looked after and all questions were answered. Stellar staff and the guests were lovely.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for the fantastic review Serena! : - )
So happy to hear that you loved your day on the reef with us so much.
Brilliant to hear that you enjoyed the 'safari' guided aspect of the tour. What a difference it makes to have an expert marine biologist guide actually take you snorkelling at each location, so you are able to learn about all the incredible marine life in real time while you are in the water. The last thing we want is for anyone to feel like 'just another number' so its awesome to hear you felt that you felt you received great service.
An enormous thanks from our small but dedicated team.
Look forward to taking you on another epic snorkel safari one day soon!
jasmine_w, Sep 2024
As a rookie trying snorkelling for the first time, I am really glad I joined this tour and would highly recommend it to everyone!
During the trip, I suffered from severe seasickness, but thanks to the care and comfort of the staff, I ended up just feeling tired and my body was not in any serious condition.
During the snorkelling trip, I was carefully instructed on the use of the equipment. One of the crew members accompanied me throughout the entire trip and even dragged me back to the boat when I was completely exhausted due to the nausea and vomiting.
I am really grateful for their help! I was very touched by their sense of responsibility and patience. I would recommend them to anyone!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thanks for the wonderful heartfelt review Jasmine!
So happy that we could assist you in anyway possible! Our dedicate crew will be really happy to hear the feedback.
When our guests join us, no matter their level of experience snorkelling, we feel everyone should have the best opportunity to witness the amazing beauty of the reef. Having only 12 passengers on board & snorkelling of a group of around only 6 with a guide directly with you at all times really ensures that everyone gets all the assistance that they need while snorkelling. No one should be left to feel like 'just another number'...
We hope to see you again one day when you feel less seasick, so you can have an even better experience of this amazing natural wonder!
An enormous thanks from the whole team here at ABC : - )
Sylvia_B, Sep 2024
Seeing all the different coral that I have never seen before was fascinating and all of the colors. Also the huge clams were spectacular.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for the fantastic review Sylvia!
So happy to hear you loved seeing the Great Barrier Reef with us!
The coral & marine life that we are able to showcase is just incredible. This is really thanks to our ability to get to those pristine locations that are far off the beaten track, way-away from the crowds. This really shows in how healthy & biodiverse the snorkelling sites are. Just bursting with marine life!
We can't wait for your next trip to the reef with us next time you are in Port Douglas.
A huge thanks from this dedicated family business!
Sally_H, Aug 2024
Very knowledgeable and professional staff. Paula did an excellent job managing the nervous snorkers in our group dealing with 2 foot swells. Small group was the only way to see all the sea life and learn about the reef. Would recommend ABC and if ever back in the area would snorkel with them again. Very good lunch to boot!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Awesome review Sally!
So happy you enjoyed your day on the reef so much.
Awesome to hear that you enjoyed learning about the reef while you snorkelled. By having a marine biologist guide with a tiny group of around 6, we really aim to be able to create a fully interactive snorkel experience. Glad Paula put everyone at ease. We really aim to make the reef accessible to everyone to visit the reef irrespective of experience in water.
We hope to see you again next time you are in Port Douglas.
Ruben_K, Aug 2024
The small size of the group allowed for individual attention , particularly since our 8 and 12 yo kids were relative novices to snorkeling - the staff were helpful in taking them around the reef. They were very kind people, and knowledgeable about the reef flora and fauna. GBR did not disappoint- we saw a reef shark, many types of coral, parrotfish and other fish, and interacted with sea sponges. Bonus points for the food provided on board - it was very tasty ! One tip - bring your own towels.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Dear Ruben,
Thank you so much for your 5-star review on TripAdvisor of ABC's Guided Snorkel Safari!
We are delighted to hear that you had a blast on the Great Barrier Reef with us. It’s wonderful to know that the small group size allowed for individual attention, especially for your kids who are new to snorkeling. Our team strives to be kind, helpful, and knowledgeable, and we’re glad to hear that this contributed to your positive experience.
Seeing a reef shark, various types of coral, parrotfish, and interacting with sea sponges sounds like a fantastic adventure! We're also pleased to know that you enjoyed the food provided on board.
Thank you for the tip about bringing your own towels, and for taking the time to share your feedback. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another unforgettable experience on the reef.

Fabulous trip, amazing reef and incredible staff. The staff were so knowledgeable and kind, even guiding us on our snorkel experiences. We went to two reefs, having the go pro was great. Lunch was also very nice along with the lovely baked goods from port douglas. 9 people only. Highly recommend.

Marianne_B, Jul 2024
So glad that we chose ABC Snorkel for our first Outer Reef experience. It is very clear this company cares about the Reef and about their guests having a magical experience. One of our guides, Paula, went above and beyond with my 8-year-old daughter; sticking with her every moment in the water and pointing out amazing wildlife we would have otherwise missed. Even an octopus! Highly recommend opting for the go-pro as well. Having the guides dive down and get videos we could not capture ourselves was fantastic, as was the quality of all our videos and images.

Kevin_M, Jul 2024
The entire day was excellent. My wife and I spent a lot of time researching the different options, and we went with ABC based on the small dive group and guide expertise. We were not disappointed. The small group made it so everything was personalized and educative. Furthermore, this meant we visited reef sites without anyone else around us, and they were able to choose the reef sites with calmer waters and vibrant wildlife. We saw pretty much everything advertised (except the skittish Reef Shark). An added benefit is during the swims either Callum or Paula are with you, pointing out fish, giving educational information, and checking in to make sure you are OK. They also help you take pictures and video if you have a camera or GoPro. It really is a hands-on operation, and I couldn't imagine being in better hands. If we were staying a few days longer, we'd go back out with them. Callum even designed us a next-day road trip south of Cairns to see the best local sites that aren't overrun with tourists.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Dear Kevin,
