Smaller experience allows for learning! Worth the spend! - Why does this tour cost more than the others you ask? It’s because it’s worth it. It is a small group of 12 max and the crew-guest ratio allows friendly service, hands-on guidance, and lots of learning! We loved our experience with Will, Zoe, and others. The size of the tour and boat allows you to go to less visited reeds and I loved seeing how live the reefs are with its diversity. It’s truly amazing! Worth the extra spend as you won’t be packed like sardines on a crowded larger boat that serves hundreds!

Good Experience - Excellent experience - the crew took excellent care of us. Highlights included the education about marine life and safety talks, the snorkeling itself and the kind and friendly crew. Would highly recommend - especially because it’s so much more intimate than other experiences (12 people vs 400).

Great day on the reef - This was my second reef excursion. The first was from Cairns on a bigger boat with more people. This was a much more personalised experience. Will and Zoe were great as were the rest of the crew. The reef looked awesome so much to see. I highly recommend ABC

Highly recommend - 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.

Amazing day on the reef - Our family had an amazing day on the reef with ABC snorkel charters. We had calm, sunny weather and the small boat made the most of the conditions. We saw so many fish and beautiful coral and managed to see around 12 green turtles and a couple of reef sharks. Will and Zoe were friendly and helpful and reassured my first time kids (9 and 12) and helped them make the most of the day. They were also very knowledgeable about the reef ecosystem. I would strongly recommend, a true once in a lifetime opportunity.

You won’t regret booking with ABC! - I can’t say enough about ABC Snorkel Charters. What attracted me to this company was the small group size - 12 passengers on board with a great passenger to staff ratio. We learned so much from the marine biologists on board- Will, Zoe and Tosoa. They were all extremely friendly, great at pointing out the wildlife in the water and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. Skipper Geoff was also outstanding. We will definitely book with ABC again!
