Took my sons on an Intro Diving session, cannot praise it enough. Sophie who was our instructor was fantastic, making sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable time. We did 2 good dives, and saw some amazing sights. The rest of the crew where all really good, definitely had a quality experience. Lovely food and a very pleasent atmosphere. Would go again.
Went to two beautiful spots on the reef, it was my first time swimming in the open ocean as well as my first time snorkelling but the guides made me feel safe and made sure I was having a good time! Saw turtles, sharks, and a stingray! Lunch was great, enjoyed the marine biology presentations, overall 10/10 experience! Would highly recommend!
A stunning day out! The staff were amazing - incredibly respectful, attentive but mostly, so knowledgeable. We went to places that other tour companies are unable to access, so we felt we had the reef entirely to ourselves. With only 12 guests on the boat, it certainly was a special day.
What a fabulous day. The staff really made this something special. Personable, relaxed, natural & really helpful. Loved the little bits of education & the way they treated everyone respectfully & everyone got the attention they needed - for all levels of experience. From booking in office - to end of day - it really was the best. Pulling that altogether seamlessly shows what a great company this is to experience the reef. Thanks a million.
The trip was amazing. Jeff, Canu and Anto were very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure they chatted to everyone on the boat. The small size meant all the guests mingled together which was fun. The first dive was awesome, I hadn’t been diving in 8 years but Anto was very patient with me and helped me feel comfortable. After the dive we had some yummy snacks and chatted to the staff. The second dive was insane. Beautiful fish, coral and even a turtle. Lunch after this was great and we had the option for 2nds. This trip was definitely worth the extra money to have a more intimate experience.
Second time with this port Douglas company.I have dived with other operators in port Douglas but was really craving a more bespoke operation. The small group size and excellent staff to guest ratio lifts this team way above the rest. than the skipper made sue we got to dive in some great locations and with Shane our professional and thoughtful Divemaster guiding us took myself and son and one other diver to some really beautiful bommies. The beauty of this company is that they are not restricted to where they can visit and so the reef is literally yours to explore. I will be diving with them again and cannot wait. Well done to the whole team including the team who I booked with direct.
What a compliment! Thank you! Not only coming back for a second trip, but choosing ABC after experiencing other operators in Port Douglas... the proof really is in the pudding 🍮😂 One of the things we love seeing is guests who decide that one day on the reef simply isn't enough. Many book multiple days from the outset so they can experience different activities, different outer-reef sites and even both of our vessels. Dive one day, snorkel the next, explore the reef from a completely different perspective and really make the most of your time in gorgeous Far North QLD 🐢🪸🧭 We're especially pleased to hear you and your son enjoyed diving with Shane. Small groups and high crew-to-guest ratios mean our guides can spend more time doing what they do best... creating memorable underwater experiences rather than managing crowds. And while we may be a little operator, that's exactly what gives us the flexibility to create the kind of bespoke reef adventures you've described. No conveyor belts, no giant crowds, just a passionate team helping guests experience the reef the way it was meant to be experienced 🌞🚤 We can't wait to welcome you back for your next Reef Safari! Best wishes, TEAM ABC
Had a really amazing time. I went diving, and my partner snorkelling. We were with a very small group (6 peopld). Great friendly crew. Felt like almost a private trip. Would definitely recommend tp anyone wanting a special great barrier reef experience!
Now THIS is peak ABC 😄🌊 One person diving, one person snorkelling, a tiny group of just six guests and a crew of happy ocean addicts running around making sure everyone has the best day possible... that's our dream trip! One of the things we love most is that no two guests experience the reef in exactly the same way. On any given day we might have certified divers, first-time divers, snorkellers and even the occasional freediver all sharing the same adventure, each enjoying the reef from their own perspective 🐢🦑🔍 We're a bit of an odd bunch at ABC and we're quite proud of it 😂 We genuinely believe reef trips should feel personal, relaxed and a little bit magical rather than like you're being herded through a checklist. And if your day felt almost like a private trip, well... we do actually offer private charters aboard both Voyager and Independence for guests wanting to take things to the next level 🍾🚤🥭 Whether it's a family celebration, dive club, honeymoon, corporate event or just an excuse to gather your favourite people together, we can tailor the entire day around your group. Thanks for the recommendation and for spending the day with us. With big smiles from the entire ABC Reef Safaris crew, Port Douglas, Queensland AUSTRALIA 💙🤍
Unfortunately I need to leave a negative review for this business due to the owner’s misogynistic comments. We were excited about booking dives with this company as they advertise small group sizes. My wife asked a simple and straightforward question about what wetsuit thickness they provide (answer: 5mm shorties) and whether there were options for long wet suits or thicker wetsuits. The owner made a completely uncalled for and dumb comment about how every year women ask about this and it’s a female personal problem, not his problem. And then he just kept droning on about this. Well here’s an idea, if every year half of the population is asking about this, why don’t you actually solve the issue and stock different thickness options? Or you could just say politely that unfortunately you don’t stock other thickness options, but if we want we could purchase a sharkskin. No need to be a jerk about it or provide your editorial comments. Just answer the question professionally. But it’s their loss of business, which is unfortunate because the other staff member we spoke with actually seemed great and we’re here for multiple weeks and likely would have booked multiple trips.
Andrew, After listening to the transcript from our shop’s security system, I disagree with your account of what was said. At no point did I describe this as a “female problem” or dismiss your wife’s question. During our conversation, it was explained that she often feels cold while diving, and the discussion focused on practical ways to improve her comfort on future dives. While thermal comfort varies significantly between individuals, it is also common for female divers to feel the cold more than male divers due to physiological differences. My comments were intended as general observations based on many years of experience helping divers find suitable thermal protection, not as criticism or dismissal of anyone’s concerns. The conversation appears to have shifted from the assistance being offered to an allegation that a misogynistic comment was made. During your visit, we discussed and demonstrated several thermal protection options, including the benefits of owning a Sharkskin thermal garment. As a personal item, it is convenient for travel and can help divers stay warmer and more comfortable in the water. This option was explained as one possible solution based on the concerns raised. I reject the suggestion that any comments made during this conversation were misogynistic or discriminatory. For clarity, this review relates solely to a discussion that took place before any booking was made. Neither you nor your wife participated in any diving activities or tours with us, and therefore the review cannot reflect our dive operations, services, or tour experiences. As the owner of a family business that has operated for more than 20 years, I take both customer concerns and our reputation seriously. I believe it is important that feedback accurately reflects what occurred, and I stand by the professionalism and intent of the conversation that took place.
Had a great time with ABC Reef Safaris. Got to see two really great parts of the reef and saw lots of fish and sea life. Our guide was really attentive and informative about the different sea life. Best thing was seeing the giant clams and the white tipped shark. Equipment was great and felt new and not worn out. It’s a bit expensive compared to the other tours but it’s definitely well worth your money.
We're so pleased you enjoyed your day with us and that the team helped make it a memorable one. We take a lot of pride in keeping our equipment in top condition and creating an experience where guests feel looked after from start to finish. Thank you too for your comment about value. We often say we're not trying to fit as many people on a boat as possible. We'd rather know everyone's name by morning tea. 😄 Comments like yours remind us why we stick to our small-group approach. It may not be the cheapest way to run a reef trip, but we think it's the best way to experience one. Thanks again for choosing ABC Reef Safaris. We hope to see you back on the reef one day soon.
Outstanding company. A conscientious team of well informed marine biologists and dive experts (shout out to Harry and Alex) on a very comfortable brand new boat with top notch equipment (wet suits, masks, snorkels…). I have never been on such a clean boat as this. They took us far out to a pristine reef (Rudder reef), where only ABC has a permit to be. Amazing reef life (stingrays, reef sharks, sea turtles, squid, cuttlefish, and an over abundance and variety of colorful fish, giant clams etc. ). Constant attention to diver and snorkeler needs l. The food provided seemed to have been prepared by real chefs included skewers of fresh fruit and charcuteries while lunch was far beyond what we expected with more than enough sushi, beef, turkey, salads, grilled vegetables, breads, desert etc for all a couple times over with vegetarian/vegan options. Wine, champagne, beer and various other refreshments plentiful. The company owner was our driver to and from our resort and was very curious about what we expected and how our experience was. We highly recommend this outfit and will return.
Reading reviews like this reminds us exactly why we do what we do. We don't just love the reef, we live it 🤍🤍🤍 From Harry and Alex sharing their knowledge in the water, to exploring low-use sites away from the crowds on the outer reef, to making sure every mask, snorkel and wetsuit is spot on, it's all part of creating the kind of day we'd want for our own friends and family. We were especially pleased to hear the food got a mention! Our menu is designed exclusively for ABC Reef Safaris by a local chef using fresh, quality ingredients because a day on the reef deserves something better than the standard boat lunch. And don't worry, we promise the chef is an actual chef... not Jay wearing yet another hat. 😄🍓🧀 Speaking of hats, you've discovered one of the perks of travelling with a genuine small business. One minute Jay is in the office, the next he's your chauffeur to the marina, loading gear, answering questions and making sure the day runs smoothly. Thank you for your generous recommendation. Knowing you'd return is about the highest compliment we could receive. Looking forward to seeing you next time!! All the best from TEAM ABC
