      Totally worth the extra cost for a lifetime experience and then some.
      Absolutely amazingly phenomenal. Every penny’s worth and more. We had a guide with is for 6 people. We saw coral reef like never before compared to our prior snorkeling at Hawaii and Galapagos. Great Barrier Reef is unique. Highly recommend if you can afford the extra cost compared to bigger outfits which take hundreds of clients.

      Small group, superb reef visit
      As regular reef visitors, it was fantastic to have such a small group. We got to see some areas of the reef that bigger boats simply cannot get to - and pristine marine life. Toby and Callum were brilliant - easy to chat to, full of great information and we felt very looked after. Our next trip out to the reef will definitely be with ABC Snorkel

      Highly recommend ABC! The crew is super friendly and knowledgeable. With only 12 people on board with 2 marine specialists plus the captain, you get the maximum opportunity to see the best of Great Barrier Reef. Don’t let the higher price stop you from booking this incredible experience!

      Awesome Tour
      If you’re looking for a small, personal tour with excellent and knowledgeable guides, this is the right tour. They only take 12 people out for the day which allows each group to have a guide to show them the reef. Sam and Callum answered everyone’s questions and named all the species we saw. Highly recommend this tour.

      Fantastic small group snorkel trip!
      We were so pleased to find this company doing small reef trips as had huge reservations about being on a boat with dozens, if not hundreds of other people. The staff were hugely knowledgeable and had a real focus on ecology without being 'preachy'. The equipment was in good condition and there was lots of choice of sizes. Due to the small size of boat, we were able to go to less frequented reefs and were the only boat there which made you feel very in contact with the nature and immersed in the underwater world. The company were very committed to giving us the best experience and even postponed a day as the conditions were not condusive. I would throughly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a quieter, more personal trip out on to the reef.

      Best way to spend our 6th Wedding Anniversary
      What an experience! The best snorkelling I have ever done on the reef. Ben and Sam knew their stuff. Sam is a walking encyclopaedia, we learnt so much about the reef, sea life and conservation. Thanks to our boat driver Gallagher for keeping us safe and getting us the some amazing reefs - Rudder and Chinamens Reef were exceptional. We hope you all get a beer to finish off the day 🍺 well deserved.

      Perfect day and unforgettable memories.
      “Wow, what an incredible day we’ve had on the Great Barrier Reef with the crew of ABC tours! 🌊 The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and it’s moments like these that create unforgettable memories for all of us as a family☀️ Our teenage son, enjoyed exploring and learning about the reef from Dan and Sam! Huge thanks to Dan and Sam, they are passionate about the reef🐠🐢 Their deep knowledge and dedication to preserving the reef’s incredible biodiversity left us inspired and hopeful for a sustainable future🙌 these guys are awesome! They settled my nerves as a new explorer of snorkelling and of the reef. They go above and beyond to equip you with knowledge before going out into the reef. We seen giant clams, sharks, turtles, parrot fish and so much more!!! Thank you guys #GreatBarrierReefAdventures #NatureLovers #ConservationHeroes”

      CANNOT recommend highly ENOUGH!
      Cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Wish I could give ten stars! There were only six people in our group and the attention to detail was beyond what we could have imagined. As a first time snorkeler I felt completely safe in their hands. All three guys on board, Seb, Cal & Casey were friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. No doubt with the max of 12 people they take, the quality would remain the same. We will be recommending this tour to everyone we know. Worth every dollar for a truly unique, personalised, informative experience.

    We chose ABC Snorkel for their small group charter boat and guidance, and we will not regret with our decision. If Great Barrier Reef is in our bucket list, budget is not a constraint and you want to experience the colorful coral reef and fishes at leisure without crowd please go with them. Sam and their team were wonderful. They are very professional and friendly. They make you comfortable in every way. Service is great !! Our family loved it and we ever come back, we will not look anywhere else.

    You can tell from all the great reviews, just an excellent operation. If going to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef is a bucket-list item, and you may only go once in your life, then do yourself a favour and spend the extra 200 or 300 bucks and go with these guys, rather than the 100-300 passenger big boats out of Port Douglas or Cairns. The small group is great. The crew is very friendly, fun, informative and super helpful - personal attention to how the gear fits, answering questions and making sure everyone gets the most that they can out of it. I was a little skeptical of a "guided" snorkel in open water, but it worked! Each guide had a group of only 6 in the water, and these guys were educated so knew what they were talking about. Also did a pre-snorkel presentation onboard while we were en route, and had guide books for all to flip through. On board coffee, pastries, lunch were all really good. Had an excellent time, and the reefs we visited were the best i've seen on the GBR, in beautiful condition.

    Really can't say enough about this group - a class operation, and well worth the extra you will spend. If you're at all serious about good snorkeling and learning something, go ABC.

    Right from the get-go, ABC Snorkel blew me away with their flawless trip! Sam, our guide and marine biologist extraordinaire, not only educated us on the way out but also played underwater tour guide, pointing out incredible species. As a newbie, I was a tad nervous at first, but Sam's watchful eye made those jitters disappear, and soon I found myself lost in the mesmerizing beauty of the underwater world – vibrant colors, exotic fauna, and a touch of magic.

    Major kudos to the amazing crew at ABC Snorkel for giving me a jaw-dropping, unforgettable experience of a lifetime! You guys rock! - Linda M, Vancouver, Canada.

    The ABC team (Sam, Callum, and Toby) were professional from start to finish. Having marine biologists to guide us added a lot of value to our experience. Most guides will just point you to the snorkel spot and let you go. These guys prepared us for what we would see, told us about the biology of the reef, and then pointed out everything interesting while we were in the water. The small group size was a major benefit, as each guide had six guests in the water - any more than that, and it would have been hard to follow him. The reefs we visited had healthy and intact coral - just beautiful. The food was top-notch - fresh brewed coffee, gourmet sandwiches, and fresh pastries and fruits. It wasn't a cheap trip, but it was worth the splurge if you have never been to the reef before. Or even of you have!

    Fantastic trip. We’ve been on many reef tours and this was one of the best. The guys were very informative and knowledgeable and caring. Being able to go to Rudder and Chinaman’s reef because of our small group and boat was amazing. The coral was vibrant and massive like you see in promotional photos. We loved following the biologists and guides in the water with us at all times and following them around we felt very safe.

    This day-long snorkel trip to the great barrier reef was the highlight of our 17 days in Australia. The group of guys who hosted our tour were great and brought us to fabulous viewing points of the incredible underwater garden that is the reef. It is a smaller boat with just a few passengers and plenty of personal attention. Highly recommend.

    One of the best trips of my life. If you are going to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef then make this the company you do it with. From the easy booking, to the welcome on board from Sam Ben and Toby, to the detailed explanation on mask and snorkel use, which all of us learnt something new, to the journey, which passed quickly, due to a great review of life we were expecting to see, it was a truly memorable experience. And we hadn’t even seen anything by then! Mooring up near the reef 40km from land, and the expert guiding and enthusiast teaching we all had a superb experience. Thanks in particular to Sam who, as an expert marine biologist, was so full of interesting information and made everyone so relaxed in the water with reff sharks swimming nearby. Totally brilliant experience. Thanks guys so much.
