We went snorkeling with ABC Scuba Diving and were very happy with the trip. The company is well organized and the staff is friendly and hospitable. We received thorough instructions at the time of reservation, and a friendly reminder the day before our trip, to suggest we visited the office a day ahead to clear the paperwork. The boat is roomy and quite big, even though it is intended for small groups with a maximum of twelve passengers. On our trip we were nine, which invited to lots of socializing with other participants during the transport out to the reef. There was one instructor per team, and each team consisted of three to four participants. That made the beginners in my team feel perfectly safe, which is an important part of the experience. It also makes it a lot more personal, like having your own guide. The shallow parts of the reef were magnificent and very accessible also to snorkelers. During the day we made three swims, and my only objection would be that two of them went to deeper parts. Even though I understand our instructor wanted to show us the diversity of the reef (and give us the opportunity to see a pack of barracudas and a sting ray) those parts offered less to see.

The small size of the tour group was what attracted us to this activity. Once we arrived we were greeted with friendly, knowledgeable staff and a great atmosphere. Great stories, great local food and the best snorkelling experience on the outer area of The Great Barrier Reef. Highly recommended.

I wish I could give more than a 5 star rating. I had such a fun and positive experience that I didn't want the day to end. I loved the guided small group snorkelling tour by the crew (marine biologists) and the attention to detail was impeccable. I felt safe and looked after the whole day. Thank you for my experience, I hope I can visit again one day.

Such a great experience! I love the fact that team was really knowledgeable and took the time to point out interesting fish and coral as we swam together. There were barely 10 passengers on the boat, and it felt like the trip was just for us.

ABC delivered an amazing snorkelling trip to the Great Barrier Reef. The team on board, Callum, Sam and skipper Jason, were knowledgable , very friendly and made the whole experience one to remember. They assist as much as you need with the snorkelling , with nothing being too much trouble, have such enthusiasm for the experience and look after you all time. With a small group only this is a much more personalised, less rushed and genuine reef experience. We have snorkelled in many places and this was the best service we’ve had anywhere. I would highly recommend them and will be telling all our friends about them if they ever visit port Douglas. Many thanks again for a fantastic day.

The most magical birthday ever! Huge thank you to Jay, Sam, Inma and Jason for an unforgettable day snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef! Explored with just a tiny group on their exclusive day boat, offering the best, most personalized tours out of Port Douglas. This made it way better than any other tour bc there was personalized, individual attention to the sea creatures and reef. With clear conditions, excellent visibility and low tide, we even made it all the way out to Opal Reef! We saw sharks, giant stingrays, vivid coral, barracudas, sea stars and even whales with their calves!!! Absolutely spectacular time!!

We had a wonderful time with ABC Snorkel Charters! Paula and Imna were so knowledgeable about marine life, and Jason was an excellent captain. I felt safe and educated at all times thanks to the wonderful crew. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef was an unforgettable experience, and I was happy to do it with ABC Snorkel Charters!

The trip was great a little choppy on the boat but they prepared us for it well. The crew were super supportive when I was hesitant to hop in the water but they assured me and looked after me all day. The reef is awesome teaming with wildlife. Would highly recommended this trip very personalised and super friendly crew.

Simply awesome - the best snorkelling trip we have experienced. Marine biologist, Sam was very informative. Great coral and fish varieties. Small group was worth the extra cost.

ABC exceeded expectations for a private Port Douglas snorkel tour from our cruise stop. We had a local boat driver and 2 wonderful Marine Biologists (Collum & Sam) for 9 tourists. Went way out to reef areas the large vessels can't enter. The coral was gorgeous; the sea life was abundant (giant clams & parrotfish, starfish, clownfish, etc.). Spent total of 2 1/2 hours snorkeling with our expert for 4 people! I'm 70 & snorkeled great locations in Florida, Hawaii, Caribbean, etc. This was the best ever! Only problem is that it was tricky locating the boat as it's down the road from the big operations.

It was a fantastic day on the Great Barrier Reef. The crew was great. Callan went through so much detail about the fish we saw and showed us really cool stuff on the reef. The boat captain, Toby, was awesome as well. I can’t recommend this excursion any more highly.

Had an amazing day out on the reef with the guys. They were friendly, knowledgable, and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was great to be in a small group rather than the big boats and we got to go to some amazing spots on the reef.

Fantastic day on the outer reef. Highly recommended. Our family felt like we were out on a friend’s boat on the weekend and not a big tourist boat. Toby the skipper, Callum and Sam the guides were so incredibly good in explaining the reef and the animal life. Great equipment, comfortable boat, cold beers, nice lunch and even better company Keep doing what you do fellas as we will be back.

What a n amazing experience the crew had so much knowledge of everything around us and as it was only 10 people on the boat it was a very personal tour of the GBR which made the experience so special if I had time I would do it again thank you ABC for your tour

Thank you so much for a brilliant trip. It was absolutely incredible. It was especially nice to be with a marine biologist who could tell us about everything we saw. Espen.
