  • Overview

    Discover the tranquil waters of the Richmond River Nature Reserve around Ballina Island. Our River Cruises are the perfect combination of leisure with a hint of fast-paced excitement. Let us show you the sights, sounds, and wildlife that you cannot see from the shore. Our tours go through the mangrove forests, down the creeks, showcasing the richly diverse flora and fauna unique to this region along the way.

    Learn about wildlife, local points of interest & history of the area from our Marine Biologist guide. Many rare birds and sea creatures such as dolphins can be spotted along the river, and for real nature lovers, it can be quite a thrill to see these animals in real life and up close. 

    Sit back and bask in a glorious sunset as you enjoy complimentary beverages, locally made sweet & savoury delights, chilled tunes & the sounds of nature.Beautiful sunset views are a treat from the boat, and for photography lovers, this makes for the prime opportunity to get some rare, beautiful shots to bring back with you.

    Fantastic experience. I’ve been snorkelling a few times with Out of the Blue & recommend it to everyone travelling to Byron. I’ve been out with Gabby, Gian & Angus they always look after everyone on board & go out of their way to make sure all guests have a great time. The marine biologist hops in the water with you & points out different marine life & information as you go.

    A well organised trip with experienced and friendly staff, safety covered off well, modern fit for purpose equipment. Perhaps my expectations were unreasonable but the visibility wasn’t great. We did see the big three of the Rocks - turtle, leopard shark, ray. Just one of each. Plenty of other smaller colourful fish. It was overcast and there was a swell which maybe contributed to the visibility. Crossing the bar on the way out was perhaps the most exciting part. We also saw dolphins on the way which was an added bonus. Overall it was good, and maybe really good on a different day. I couldn’t recommend it as a must do based on our particular day, and comparing it to other snorkelling experiences I have had (both good and bad)

    Went snorkeling with 'Out of the Blue Adventures' twice and what can I say. It was absolutely incredible. We saw two species of turtles, Leopard Sharks, White spotted eagle Rays, different kind of fish. If you are in Byron, definitely make sure you go snorkeling with them!!!! A big thanks goes to Gab and the crew! All of them are super friendly, kind and they make sure you have a fabulous time out there. I will definitely go again.

    My family and I had the best experience with Out of the Blue Adventures! The staff were awesome (Angus, Gabby and Emily) and they went out of their way to make sure we had the best weather conditions and underwater experience. We snorkelled with Leopard Sharks, Eagle Rays, Turtles and lots of fish. I highly recommend visiting the spectacular Julian Rocks with this awesome company and crew. We will be back for another visit as soon as we can.
