All the girls were amazing and made the trip so much fun! Sammy and Lara were both great, and I’m sorry I can’t remember the other girls’ names 😭😂The sea was definitely a bit rough in parts, but we all trooped through it thankfully, and honestly, I think it just made the experience even more fun and memorable! 😂🌊Such a good experience from start to finish. Would definitely recommend! ✌🏻

Great tour on the Reef
Tour was on time, with a high speed ride out to a reef they had picked that day, we saw lots of coral and fish. All the equipment (wetsuit, mask and fins) they provided were in excellent condition. The staff were all very nice especially the marine biologist.

We had a great time. The staff were super friendly and very professional. They made every effort to support all the different levels of experience of the snorkelers. We couldn’t have had a more helpful team. Thanks Simon.

Finding nemo
Great tour. Lots to see. The introductory scuba dive was about 20-30 minutes. Do also note that you are not allowed to free dive after scuba diving.Except that the scuba diving time was quite short, it was really worth the money as you more or less get to be in finding nemo.

Best day everrrrrrrr!
Incredible time with a super friendly crew and lovely ride out to a stunning reef site at Sudbury reeeeeff. The crew were so knowledgeable about all things marine related and I learnt so much, especially sebs marine bio talk in the morning which was so helpful before getting in the water. The crew Kiki, cam, Sophie, alex and seb were all so enthusiastic and passionate about the reef and everyone aboard was so friendly would highly recommend to anyone visiting cairns wanting the best reef trip.

We were both beginners and they were very helpful and made us feel at ease. Reaching the reef was a bit bumpy so I suggest taking something for seasickness. They also provided prescription goggles for 15 AUD. Overall amazing experience and special thanks to Jo!

Epic day out!
We had an amazing day out with Cooly Eco Adventures! Staff were amazing and incredibly helpful, Jemma was a very skilled skipper and put us in the best positions for our swims, and Hayley did a fantastic job keeping everyone safe and ensuring everyone saw the whales. They were both so informative and really knew their stuff, with lots of amazing facts and answering everyone’s questions. Could really they respected the whales space and that our interactions were on the whales terms. Highly recommend!

A whale of a time
Whales are such magnificent creatures and to get so close was truly an incredible experience! Lachie, the skipper and Tash were excellent and passionate guides. Lachie had a wealth of knowledge about humpback whales and the small boat size was perfect for a safari experience. But naturally, the whales stole the show! The whale interaction in the water, and from the boat felt really respectful to the whales, with the whales being able to dictate how close they got to us and how long they stayed. An unforgettable experience ✨
