Il sito di Upolu Cay è davvero magnifico: immagina una barriera corallina con un sacco di pesci colorati che sfrecciano dentro e fuori il corallo staghorn mentre fai snorkeling in queste acque cristalline poco profonde che circondano Upolu Cay. Cerca le tartarughe che spuntano in superficie per una boccata d'aria, le razze che perlustrano avidamente il fondo in cerca di cibo. A volte puoi stare in piedi fino alla coscia sul Cay nel mezzo dell'oceano, altri giorni possiamo atterrare su questo luccicante e bellissimo isolotto corallino - ogni giorno un piccolo mistero della natura ma abbiamo sempre le meravigliose acque turchesi per fare snorkeling dentro e intorno a questo magnifica area della Grande Barriera Corallina. Assicurati di avere la fotocamera pronta per questo sito davvero pittoresco!

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.
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!
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.
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.
A great experience. We were well looked after by Bruce and his crew.
We had an awesome time on this trip. My Mum snorkeled, my partner did his first discovery scuba dive, and I did 2 certified dives, and we all had a great time. The 2 spots are both lovely with a lot of sea life to see. We saw a reef shark, an octopus, a sting ray and a lot of fish. Staff were attentive, friendly and professional. Lunch was great. Just an awesome day trip, highly recommend!
Incredible dive instructor and whole staff helpful! Food was great the weather was perfect. This was our best outing in cairns
Our day on the Great Barrier Reef was without a doubt one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Australia. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was exceptionally well organised and we felt genuinely looked after. A special thank you to Hugo from France, who guided our first snorkelling safari. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making everyone feel comfortable and ensuring we had a fantastic experience. We were also very impressed by how much the crew cared about everyone’s wellbeing. Seasickness tablets were offered before departure, and throughout the day the crew kept checking on everyone to make sure they were feeling well. That level of care really stood out. The underwater world was simply breathtaking. We were lucky enough to see sea turtles, clownfish, colourful parrotfish, stunning coral in every colour imaginable and beautiful sea stars. Another guest even spotted a stingray and a whitetip reef shark that quickly swam away. Around our boat, a huge school of what I think were fusilier fish swam around us, which was an unforgettable sight. We would also like to mention Anna and another crew member whose name we unfortunately can’t remember. Both were incredibly kind, enthusiastic and always happy to help. Their passion for the reef and for making sure everyone had a wonderful day was obvious. Finally, we loved learning that this is the last family-owned reef tour company in Cairns. That makes choosing this company even more special, and we truly hope many more people will support them. Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for the perfect Great Barrier Reef tour, look no further. We would recommend this company to everyone without hesitation!
The staff is friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. They made us all feel comfortable and made sure we all had an incredible time exploring the Great Barrier Reef and discovering the amazing sea creatures! Very grateful for their attentiveness to help all different levels of swimmers in the water to insure it was an unforgettable holiday.
As a travel agent, I would not recommend this tour. Childhood dream of scuba diving in the reef. Get there and told I can’t because of an injury from years ago. The whole reason I came to Cairns was to do this tour. Asked before we even left if I could just get a refund. They said no and I decided to stick it out and not waste the money already spent. After doing it, I should have just wasted the money and not wasted my time and a vacation day. Snorkeled in one spot the whole day.
Hi Nicholas, We are genuinely sorry that you were unable to complete your introductory dive, particularly as it was something you had wanted to experience for many years. However, we must correct the impression that our crew simply refused your dive because of an "injury years ago" . Queensland law requires every non-certified diver to complete an approved medical declaration before diving. The information disclosed on your completed declaration raised a few medical considerations relating to diving. Under Queensland recreational diving safety requirements and PADI safety standards, our qualified dive crew could not approve an introductory dive without appropriate medical assessment and clearance. This was not an arbitrary or commercial decision. SCUBA diving involves breathing compressed air under pressure, and the medical history you reported on the day must be properly assessed for the diver’s safety. No responsible operator should disregard these disclosures simply to avoid disappointing a guest. The full cost of your dive was immediately refunded. Our booking information, confirmation and diving waiver prior to day of travel clearly ask guests intending to dive to tell us in advance about any past or present medical conditions or medication. This allows us to advise before the day whether medical clearance may be required. You had also enquired about diving weeks before travelling and were advised that an onboard medical declaration would need to be completed. Unfortunately, the relevant medical history was not provided to us beforehand, so we had no opportunity to raise the need for clearance earlier. Regarding the reef itinerary. The vessel did travel to and assess the planned second site. The skipper determined that conditions there were unsuitable for a safe and enjoyable experience and returned to the first site, where conditions were better. Reef-site decisions are always subject to the conditions on the day. Guests still received six hours at the reef, with opportunities for snorkelling, a Glass Bottom Boat tour and guided Adventure Drift Snorkel tours exploring different sections of the reef. You chose not to participate in the offered drift snorkel experiences in the afternoon. Our crew also suggested you could obtain a local dive medical that day and, subject to medical clearance and availability, return with us the following day. You declined that opportunity. We sincerely understand your disappointment, but our crew followed the safety procedures required of them. We stand firmly behind their decision and will never compromise a guest’s health or safety and would expect that as a Travel Agent these procedures would be understood to ensure correct traveller safety information. We sincerely hope you obtain the appropriate dive medical and can safely fulfil your long-held wish to SCUBA dive in the future.
