The tour was great. The sea life was abundant. It was especially good to see an Australian giant cuttlefish up close, swimming around calmly. Everything went smoothly and ran on time. Thanks to our guide, Damien.

Damien was an excellent and knowledgeable guide - kind, patient, and clearly passionate about conservation and our local area. It felt like a real gift to experience Cabbage Tree Bay in such capable hands. Thank you, Damien! We will book again.

Visibility wasn’t the best that day so we didn’t see a ton but saw some interesting fish and a ray. Very protected bay so great for novice or kids. Lauren was an excellent guide.

What a great experience! For anyone interested in spending some quality time experiencing the beautiful local marine ecosystems of greater Sydney, this is an absolute must. Our guide (Damien, if I remember correctly) was fantastic and very personable… and the local marine life were such gracious, peaceful and serene hosts!

This was a fantastic tour. We had the best snorkeling guide! He was very knowledgeable and kind. He dealt with the flimsy weather very well and we got to really appreciate and enjoy the water.

We had a great time on the 1.5 hour snorkel with a short nature walk to kick things off. It was a nice snorkel in Cabbage Tree Aquatic Reserve and we saw several kinds of fish. We even got lucky and saw two wobbegong sharks! Damien was a great guide, super knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe. We appreciated that all gear was provided. It was a small group experience too, so it felt comfortable without feeling overcrowded.

It was a great experience. I have never experienced such a beautiful snorkel tour. While swimming you will encounter sea turtles, different species of rays and large schools of fish in all sizes.The guidance during the tour is also very good. This gives you a safe and comforting feeling, especially if you are excited about swimming among the sea creatures.Definitely recommended.

If you enjoy snorkelling this is the trip for you. There is a huge variety of fish to see and if you are lucky the turtle will come and swim with you. Groups are small and our guide Laura was very attentive and ensured we got the best experience ensuring everyone was comfortable with their gear throughout the snorkelling trip. We started with a hike overlooking Shelly beach as seen on the Bold and Beautiful! So thrilled we made it here.

Amazing, magical experience- our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable- super helpful- one of the best snorkelling adventures ever-so much to see.

Great experience - guide was excellent on both the nature walk but also accommodating all levels of snorkeling so nobody felt left out

The small group Manly snorkel tour was amazing. Our family of 4 had Damien as our amazing guide. The meeting place was easy to find. The upfront communication with Ecotreasures was perfect - helpful reminders, etc. The land portion, or nature walk, was informative and very useful especially because we planned to spend the balance of the tour of our tour on Manly. Damien had great recommendations, including sending us to a fantastic Thai lunch spot that there is no way we would have found otherwise. The snorkeling was amazing. Damien struck the perfect balance between performing as a guide and also letting us go at our own pace. I always feel like the trait of a good guide on a small group is a guide who has the energy and passion as if it is their first tour, but the expertise and knowledge as if it is their 1,000th tour, and that describes Damien EXACTLY. If you are considering this trip, don't hesitate. Book with confidence and you will not regret it.

I had an amazing snorkelling experience this morning with Eco Treasures. We saw a rich variety of marine life, and because the instructor takes you further out into the bay than you’d normally go on your own, you get to see even more wildlife. We were also shown around the local nature reserve on foot which was beautiful, our tour guide educated us on the history of the sea and land in the local area which was so interesting.Our instructor, Damien, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. I felt completely at ease and knew I was in safe hands with him out in the water.I would highly recommend Eco Treasures to anyone visiting Manly. This snorkelling trip has been one of the highlights of my time in Australia, and I will come again in future.

Thoroughly enjoyed my walk and snorkel. Lauren was an excellent guide. Friendly, kind, knowledgeable and attentive to everyone. I am traveling solo, but great to interact with Lauren and the others in our group. Wish the sun came out sooner. Even so, enjoyed seeing rays, grouper, and numerous other fish at Shelly Beach. Great experience!

The guide was super-duper helpful. Everything was just great. Smooth water and weather added an extra touch.

An excellent way to spend 2 hours experiencing that a city as big as Sydney (over 5 million people) still has almost pristine wildlife ecosystems right in its heart. Our guide Damien is enthusiastic, fun and so knowledgeable.

We had a fantastic time learning about Australia's biodiversity and the local/national efforts to maintain it, and then getting out into the water and seeing it up close. This was our first time snorkeling and Damien was super helpful and encouraging the whole time. Would highly recommend it!
