    Amazing tour, crew, and experience! Booked ocean freedom and this was my first time scuba diving. I did 2 intro dives - it was so fun and easy to be comfortable in the water with the help of the crew. Want to give a huge shout-out to Blair especially for constant encouragement and an amazing dive experience together. Saw so many fish and other organisms underwater. Was extremely memorable and highly recommend this tour! Light breakfast was provided as well as a big selection for lunch and dessert/fruit. Amount of people per tour was a great ratio as well.

    I absolutely loved my trip on the Ocean Free sailboat tour! It was my first time snorkeling and first trip to the great barrier reef. I feel so blessed to have been on an intimate group tour; the Ocean Free can take up to 25 people on board and we had a group of 6! The guides were amazing, they made you feel safe and included in all the activities. The food on board was so yummy and you certainly won’t go hungry (there’s breakfast, lunch, multiple snacks, fruits, sweets, and wine!). The coral that we toured was vibrant and full of life, our group saw reef sharks, sea turtles, schools of fish, giant clams, etc. The boat also stopped over at Green Island for a couple hours.. steer clear from the crocodile exhibit, it is giving the same vibes as Sea World (iykyk). I would recommend this company to anyone looking for an intimate experience, the only downside is there were no photographers on board, but you can always take a trip down to Calypso Reef Imagery and Underwater Camera Hire for a GoPro rental :)

    Remarkable tour with the most wonderful crew. The reef was incredible and there were plenty of crew to allow all of the passengers to go where they please when snorkelling and aboard the boat. The crew also rescued some snorkellers from another boat, it was great to see how much they cared about the reef and it's visitors, not just their customers. I have asthma and the skipper- Matt took extra care of me checking in a few times while I'm in the water to make sure I was okay. Highly recommended the Ocean Free to anyone wanting an intimate experience and a chill day on the water. The boat is a much smaller sailboat rather than the big yachts you see, so it was extremely peaceful.

    We had a fabulous time scuba diving. It had been six years since we’ve been diving so my husband and I were both a little nervous. Amber took incredible care of us. She was the dive master we went down with, and she made it so easy and we felt really comfortable. We got to see a turtles, giant stingrays, clown fish, giant clams and tons of other fish. There were some really large barracudas that just hung by the boat. They fed us huge seafood lunch, all you can eat. They also brought us lots of snacks during the day fruit, cakes, and other yummy items. I would definitely recommend booking with this company. Everyone was friendly. We met a lot of fun people and just had a great time.

    Incredible experience and service with Ocean Free. It was our first time visiting the reef and I’m glad we sailed there. Very hospitable and attentive crew. They have a special mooring off Green Island away from the crowds. It allows you to explore the beautiful reef and its marine life with plenty of time and space. I would highly recommend them versus the other bigger companies.
