  We had such a nice time! They kept all of us safe and happy. The staff brought my parents out on the water using a life ring to snorkel and they had a great time despite not knowing how to swim!

  It is the Great Barrier Reef of course it is worth it! What was unexpected and delightful was the crew. The team is the best! The tour team was 10 awesome persons! Kelly and Paul were one of the first persons we met. They gave a warm hearted welcome on to the boat. We were quite a large group. I made observations through out the hours long tour. The crew: Kelly was a smiling face and sweet personality. She recommended which group to go with for dives. She was ready with a word of encouragement. Paul was always ready to assist when having a question. My husband stated that he was well informed upon them speaking. Luke made sure we were feed and knew what were the guidelines. He was assisting in whatever way he could. He is very playful and a joy. Our drive instructors were Molly and Tom. Wow did they know their stuff. While learning a new skill not once were they impatient though it was tested repeatedly. Molly and Tom made the experience of scuba diving less frightening. Molly went out of her way to make my experience worth it. She was ever patient with me! While scuba diving, I panicked but just from all that she had gone over and also her being there I was able to see the reef! She did not show a moment of frustration. Tom was in the water generally. As soon as I met him, he made sure that I was not apprehensive. He has a calming presence. Tee was giving tours on the glass bottom boat! She is soft spoken but has a huge presence. She informed us about all the ways they are conserving the area! Yaya was sweet and helpful. She went over snorkeling guidelines and made it interesting as well! She was ready to help when there was not any crew to help my husband and I to swim. My husband stated that she was so compassionate and understanding of his level of skill. She tugged my husband along and he was able to see the reef! Sarah was my person that I snorkeled with! She showed such kindness in how to snorkel not to just an adult but also a 5 year boy. She would show whatever animal was present to us! Matt was commanding of all that was going on. He handled who did what and also the team. He made sure everyone got to experience that they paid for but also that his team was available. The skipper Bob( not his name) was the fun and the main guy! He kept a light hearted attitude. He was behind the scenes magician. He is a presence that was magical! We would recommend this team(already have started) to everyone we know. We came back highly impressed as there were around 75 people on the tour that day. These persons made the experience of a bucket list dream come true. We have connected such gracious people to an experience that we will not forget! Each person remembered our name. They made us comfortable such at every turn.They love what they do and for some short hours you understand what they love! We are ever grateful for their compassion and kindness shown. Thank you wholeheartedly to these individuals from the both of us.

  We had an amazing day! Shortly after leaving, we were served fruit and pastries. After an hour ride to the reef, we snorkeled to see a variety of corals, fish, giant clams and much more! Wet suits and all gear was provided. As we were not experienced snorkelers, the staff assisted us in getting set up and they then guided us to various parts of the reef. A ride on a glass bottom boat was also included and the boat driver provided lots of interesting information about the reef. We had a very nice lunch and then moved to a second reef that was better than the first. After another hour or so of snorkeling, we headed back to Cairns. We enjoyed cheese and crackers, and then small pieces of cake on the way. We were impressed with how hard the staff worked together to make our day perfect.

  Fabulous trip. From start to finish the crew were brilliant, very organised, professional, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Everything was great, boat, equipment, food (plentiful) and the snorkelling was amazing. I am not hugely confident in open water and was a bit apprehensive about it but the crew are fantastic, they are in the water and will support and help anyone to get the best experience on the day. Mike, the captain, was ace…….calm, knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend this trip and this company - Ocean Freedom.
