Snorkelen met Turtles Gold Coast

We booked the private swimming with turtles tour for our family of four. I can’t recommend this company highly enough! We absolutely loved the entire experience, made even more special by the two amazing crew members, Jemma and Hayley. We were lucky enough to see so many beautiful turtles and fish, and the highlight was undoubtedly the magical experience of having a pod of dolphins come and play alongside us. It was an incredible day from start to finish, and one we’ll remember for a very long time. Thank you, Jemma and Hayley, for making how experience so memorable. We will certainly be back to swim with whales next time.

A huge thank you to Cooley Eco Adventures. Their small groups of just 12 people made the experience feel relaxed and personal. The team’s knowledge, passion, and genuine love for the marine environment shone through from start to finish. I will be bringing my family next time. If you’re visiting the area, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough! 🐢🐋🌊 04/7/26

Thoroughly enjoyable! Competent knowledgeable and engaging operators who were thorough and professional. Equipment and safety induction before and during. The hard part was getting the wet suit on but I’m told that’s usually normal. Dolphins followed us for a while. Snorkeling was great and many green turtles some huge and schools of colourful beautiful tropical fish and others. Some big blue star fish too. It was a calm day and after all the rain the water was clearing. I had a great time

Amazing! We got to swim so close to the turtles. We were lucky to see two separate pods of dolphins from the boat on the trip back. The boat ride itself was fun also. The tour guides were super friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We also saw wobbegong shark, lots of amazing, colourful fish, stingray. Exceeded expectations of how many turtles we saw and how close we could swim next to them. We will definitely be doing this again!

Highly recommend a trip with Cooley Eco Adventures! We had an epic time out on the water with the team, Gemma & Lochy. Seen lots of turtles and other wildlife & were in safe hands the whole time! 💫 🐢

Such a beautiful day with picturesque views! Gemma and Lachie were so warm and friendly. Would 100% recommend bringing a jumper

Best morning ever.. everything that we were told to experience-happened. Turtles octopus squid fish starfish coral. Snowy and Jemma the operators made it so easy and safe. C u for whale season 😎

We had the best time today, spotted multiple turtles, at least 2 different types, lots of fish and some were lucky enough to spot an octopus. Plenty of great colour reefs. Staff are 10/10. There is a bit of current to swim against, but if you're an average to good swimmer you'll be fine staff will help you out. Keep in mind it's not an aquarium, I see some comments complaining about the amount of turtles... They're free to roam the whole ocean! The abundance of other sea life should make up for it if you see less. I'll add the boat isn't huge but we own one of these RIBs and they are made to handle rough seas with ease, they're better than a big boat for snorkelling.

What a fun adventure. Super friendly crew and knowledgeable. The waters were choppy, but they couldn't control that. I would highly recommend this tour group.

This experience with Cooly Eco Adventures was absolutely amazing! It was my boyfriend and I’s first time snorkeling in open waters, so we were both quite nervous leading up to the tour. But immediately we were greeted with a friendly, down to earth crew of Snowy, Lachy and Lou. We always felt comfortable and in good hands, with a crew that is clearly experienced and enthusiastic about the amazing marine life! We had so much fun; swimming with a bale of turtles, as well as checking out the vast array of colourful fish and other sea life along the ocean floor! We really respected how much the crew cared about conservation and protecting the turtles around the reserve. It felt like a more grounding experience, being led by a crew that genuinely appreciated the marine life. We cannot recommend this tour enough- it was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had :) Thank you to the crew once again for being so awesome and facilitating such a great time!!
