    Fabulous, helpful, and accommodating tour guides. They were thorough in preparing travellers for the experience. The boat ride was fun, and we saw dolphins on the way to the island. While snorkeling, we saw a variety of fish and three large turtles.

    Highly, highly recommend a Swim with Turtles experience with the Cooly Eco Adventures crew. Lachie runs a professional outfit with excellent safety standards, quality equipment & a very clean craft. His knowledge of the local marine & bird life & his respect for the environment is next level & we felt in very safe hands on the boat. Cass was very informative whilst snorkelling in the water, pointing out different species of fish, turtles & other marine creatures. Excellent morning out for all topped off with numerous dolphin sightings! Will definitely be booking again soon.
