We had an excellent time. The staff is really great: smiling, very careful with everyone, paying special attention to those who need any help. We had plenty of time for snorkeling and admire the reef and the beautiful fauna. If there were to be only a minus, the boat feeled a little overpacked. But to be honest it did not really affect our experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you had an excellent time and that our team made you feel well cared for. It’s wonderful to know you had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling and discover the reef and its beautiful marine life. Thank you again for joining us—we hope to welcome you back for another wonderful day on the reef!
If its your first time doing snorkelling/ scuba diving, look no further! OceanFreedom has been the sweet supporting crew who made my first ever dive and snorkelling experience unforgettable! A small crew with about 30 people per boat, they take care of you well throughout. Loved the experince and would recommend them over and over again!
Thank you for your amazing review and recommendation! We are happy to hear we were able to give you such a memorable experience on board Ocean Freedom. We would love to have you join us on board again should you even find yourself in Cairns again!
Excellent friendly staff, very accommodating (they gave 1:1 snorkeling tour to my daughter who was afraid of the water), lots of staff members to help, everything was seemless and the snorkeling spots were really good. The boat was clean and lots of seating space.
Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad to hear your daughter was able to enjoy an amazing 1:1 snorkelling tour with one of our awesome crew members! We hope we can have you all join us on board Ocean Freedom again soon!
The crew was really helpful and the experience was easy and fun. The sea was calm when i went and the boat had ample room
Thanks for the review James! We are so happy to hear you had a lovely day out on the reef with Ocean Freedom and our crew! Hopefully we can have you join us on board again in the future!
I booked this tour for my husband & son who wanted to SCUBA for this excursion. They had gone on another vessel the day before for SCUBA and they thought Ocean Freedom was by far a better experience. Larger more comfortable boat, shorter boat ride, and scuba staff that let them explore more. They were worried about being on a bigger boat and having it be crowded with people but there was plenty of room to spread out.
We are so happy to hear you and your family had such an amazing time with us on Ocean Freedom! Our crew will be ecstatic to hear your husband and son had a great time diving with us! Thank you for your fabulous review, we truly appreciate your kind words.
✨ A day we are not about to forget… 🐠🐢🐋 Today, we created one of our best memories of this world tour: discovering the Great Barrier Reef. 💙 As often, we had booked this excursion via Booking, with the company Ocean Freedom… and honestly, we can only recommend it to you. We had chosen their catamaran and, at the start, we had a little apprehension regarding the size of the boat. Finally, the sailing was very pleasant and everything was thought out so that everyone would have an excellent day. What impressed us the most? The team. ❤️ With children, they were incredibly kind: always available, smiling, attentive… A real favorite. As for the meal, it was also perfect: breakfast at boarding, snacks, hearty lunch, fruit, cheese, cakes… Impossible to be hungry! The most powerful moment will undoubtedly remain my very first scuba dive. 🤿 I was lucky to be accompanied by Paul, a French instructor who immediately put me at ease. Doing your first dive on the Great Barrier Reef… it is simply magical. ✨ The sea was calm, we observed turtles, thousands of multicolored fish… and even whales in the distance! 🐋 The girls, for their part, were like little fish in water. They also loved the glass-bottom boat trip and the explanations on the protection of this exceptional environment. A real awareness, fun and exciting. A detail that particularly touched us: at one point, the sea got a bit rough and, knowing that I wasn't completely comfortable, the captain asked a member of his team to stay with us to ensure our safety. This kind of attention makes all the difference. In short... if you are passing through Cairns, go for it with Ocean Freedom. For us, this day will remain one of the most beautiful of our trip. 💙 An absolutely exceptional experience with Ocean Freedom. If you are traveling with family and are hesitating about which company to choose to discover the Great Barrier Reef, we recommend them to you with our eyes closed. As soon as we arrived on board, we were impressed by the kindness, professionalism, and especially the attentiveness of the entire team. With children, it is really reassuring: they take their time, they observe, they accompany you, and you feel that safety is their priority without ever taking away from the pleasure of the experience. Special mention to Paul and Mary, who speak French and were wonderful. I did my very first dive with Paul: it's hard to imagine a better place for a first experience! He was extremely reassuring, patient, and professional. A huge thank you also to Anna, who accompanied us in the water. A passionate person, incredibly kind, who even came back to see us afterward to make sure everything had gone well. ❤️ And what can I say about the captain! Incredible attention toward the passengers. At a time when the sea was rougher and we were less comfortable with the children, he immediately asked a member of his team to accompany us personally in the water. We felt completely safe. The rest of the team deserves just as much praise: everyone is smiling, available, and attentive. The organization is excellent from start to finish, the boat is very pleasant, and the food is really very good and abundant: breakfast, snacks, lunch, fruit, cheese, cakes... We didn't lack anything! We saw turtles, a huge number of fish, and even whales. The children also loved the glass-bottom boat and the team's explanations about the Great Barrier Reef and its preservation. We have traveled a lot and taken many excursions, and this one is clearly among our best family experiences.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a beautiful and heartfelt review. ❤️ It truly means the world to the entire Ocean Freedom team to know that your day on the Great Barrier Reef became one of the highlights of your round-the-world adventure. 🐠🐢🐋 It was an pleasure having your family on board, and we’re happy to hear that everyone had such a wonderful time and felt comfortable in the water. Seeing children discover and appreciate the reef is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Paul, Marie and Anna will be delighted to hear your kind words. And congratulations again on completing your very first scuba dive! 🤿 What a special place to experience such an important first. We’re also so pleased that you felt safe and well looked after throughout the day. Creating a relaxed, welcoming and safe environment for every guest—especially families—is something our whole team cares deeply about. Thank you once again for choosing Ocean Freedom and for trusting us with such a special day. We hope the memories of your first dive, the turtles, colourful fish and whales stay with you for many years to come. 💙 It was a pleasure having you with us, and we would absolutely love to welcome your family back on board one day!
Absolutely fantastic day out with the best crew on a cracker of a boat. Quality snorkelling gear and wetsuits to use for the day. Honestly we were all fed very well with great lunch, cake, fruit and cheese and crackers. The day out had 2 stops with plenty of time to enjoy the water and the reef and a tour on a glass bottomed boat which was fabulous. I recommend highly. Just do it!
Thank you for the kind words Anita! We are so glad you loved our boat as much as we do! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the yummy lunch as we know swimming on the reef can definitely work up an appetite. We are happy to know you had such a fabulous day and we really appreciate your recommendation!
I recently had time in Cairns and took several trips to the reef. This was the standout best trip. Ocean Freedom doesn't have the facilities of the pontoon owning companies but they have the best crew - knowledgeable, friendly, so helpful. Everything is made easy - some other trips there were assumptions that visitors knew what to do, knew where everything was etc. Ocean Freedom's crew make sure everyone can get the most from their day. They have two fantastic sites for seeing the coral. The drift snorkel tour with one of the crew was brilliant. I enjoyed this day so much that I cancelled what I had planned the following day to go out with Ocean Freedom again.
We really appreciate your kind words about our crew! We are so happy to hear you were able to get the best out of your day exploring the Great Barrier Reef AND decided to cancel your plans to join us again the next day for another amazing day snorkelling with us! Hopefully we can have you join us on board again in the future!
Wonderful experience! The crew members are exceptional! My husband who can't swim was specifically taken out for the ocean snorkelling by this wonderful lady crew. My husband is 78 years old & he said he never dreamt that he could be able to swim in the Pacific Ocean! I won't hesitate to recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful review! It truly means a lot to our entire Ocean Freedom crew. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your husband had the opportunity to experience snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean at 78 years old. It was our pleasure to support him and help make the experience comfortable, safe, and memorable. Seeing guests discover that they can enjoy the Great Barrier Reef in their own way is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Thank you for your kind words about our crew and for recommending Ocean Freedom. We hope to welcome you both back for another wonderful reef adventure!
A great experience. We were well looked after by Bruce and his crew.
Thank you so much for your kind review ! We are stoked to hear you felt looked after throughout the day and hope to welcome you back onboard in the future!
