Ocean Safari - Cape Tribulation, Queensland

Lauren Tapscott

An absolutely great experience! First time snorkelling, as well as my son, and their engagement with kids was exceptional. Max and Callum were absolute legends the whole time. Couldn’t have asked for better staff. Hats off to you both!

10 stars!!!! Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Loved every second and although I had very high expectations, it surpassed them all! Thank you to Muzz and Jordan for an unforgettable trip and your great humour, expertise and care. I was anxious about seasickness (not me but for others ?) after doing the Reef magic trip to the pontoon on the outer reef from Cairns a few years back and thought never again!!! It was a nightmare. So I was sad to never be able to do the reef again except maybe by helicopter which we seriously considered for how bad those other boats are. Then someone recommend this fast ocean rafting trip from Cape Tribulation instead, that takes only 25 minutes and doesn’t sway like other boats because it skips over waves fast! So there wasn’t any issue whatsoever and the trip was so fun and fast with music blaring! It’s even so awesome that the boat only carries 25 people so you feel like it’s almost a private tour instead of the hundreds they take out on the bigger boats. It was so personal and everyone catered for no matter what your snorkeling or swimming skill level. Furthermore there was loads of time to snorkel - 2 hours! And they knew the exact places to take us to, to spot incredible wildlife, especially turtles. We saw turtles, small reef sharks, giant clams, every kind of fish you could think of….mind-blowing - and they pulled up to a sandy cay (tiny island), right in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef where we could sit in the sun or go back in the water and snorkel some more! This tour is so incredible and underrated compared to the big ones but infinitely better. Staying at Cape Tribulation in the Daintree rainforest where this tour takes off from, was an incredible bonus experience and absolutely worth the extra drive from Cairns!

Great experience and teen kids loved it! Nice quick fast boat! Food and drinks are on offer and overall Connor did great job showing his knowledge and guiding the group in the water to see the coral and reef shark! and was Great driver Brooke!
Highly recommend 5 stars review

We had booked this experience from the UK and were not disappointed! From the outset (from check in to the boat) they made us feel at ease and Cal and Isaac were great guides. We were thrilled to see a mother and calf humpback that we got to observe from a respectful and safe distance and this was before we even got to snorkel. In the reef they catered for every level of confidence when it came to snorkelling and Isaac did a great job of guiding us in the water for a full hour of snorkelling. We had chosen the first session which meant we had Mackay reef sand cay to ourselves where we were able to snorkel some more. We got to see such variety of fish (parrot fish, angel fish, surgeon fish, potato cod, maori wrasse, puffer fish…) corals and clams plus a brilliant blue starfish. Highly recommend to everyone for a brilliant time.

Second time doing the tour and didn't disappoint. Lucky enough to see a turtle and other beautiful marine life and amazing Coral.

Thank you Max and Brooke!

This trip exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish the staff were professional, welcoming, knowledgeable and fun. We had a small group on the boat, which meant we could stay in the water longer and see the most amazing marine life. Brooke and Fabian are outstanding humans and made the trip unforgettable. Brendan's briefing made us all feel safe and prepared. It was worth the drive from Port Douglas and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef.

We had an amazing afternoon with Ocean Safari! Guide Max and Skipper Brandon were great - very friendly, very funny and totally relaxed. They gave everyone at the boat a safe and good feeling. Max also gave us so many facts about the Daintree and the Great Barrier Reef. The snorkelling was great too, we even swam with some turtles! An adventure totally worth the money!

Truly a company with integrity. Cole and his team made it possible for our group of four to have the adventure of a lifetime when we thought it would be canceled. Cole and Eve personally took us and others out to the Great Barrier Reef from Cape Tribulation in October for a wonderful experience. We saw beautiful coral, hundreds of fish, and even turtles. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you so much!!!
