Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The provided equipment was good quality and our guide was great (thanks for helping us get those thick wetsuits on and off!) we saw several small sharks and blue groupers among other fish. So glad we did this!

Amazing snorkel experience at Shelly Beach! Lots of fishes to see!
It was nerve wrecking for me as it was my first time snorkelling but the guide was really great ensuring everyone is safe and enjoying the snorkelling.

Try to think of a better way to spend a hundred bucks… you can’t!! What an awesome tour! The nature walk is lovely and snorkeling with Sam, our experienced and knowledgeable guide, was next level. He was patient, kind, and expertly catered to members of the group. Take this tour! What an enchanting look at all Manly has to offer.

I had such a good time snorkeling with Jules! She was bubbly, knowledgable, & warm with a grounding & reassuring presence. Shelly beach was just gorgeous. It was easy to get to Manly from Sydney using the ferry. If you book a morning tour, I recommend arriving in Manly early & enjoying a cup of coffee as the experienced locals go in for their early morning swims!

Absolutely amazing trip. Our Guide Sam definitely knew his stuff. Very informative about the wildlife in the area and went above and beyond to make sure we were all safe whilst in the water. Can’t recommend enough

We had a smashing time on this tour. Damien was an excellent guide - very friendly and informative. It was fascinating to learn about the local area and the ecology of the bay. Seeing the marine wildlife up close was a real privilege. I would book again in a heartbeat.

Everything went so smooth. It was a small group of six people. All the gear was provided and the guides were very professional and knowledgeable.

Really wonderful tour, our tour guide (Sam) even spotted a diamond python and a sea dragon en route to the snorkeling! Once in the water, Sam pointed out lots of the fish and had loads of fun facts and information about each one, incredibly knowledgeable and I felt super safe and supported in the water. September is a good time to go, the waters just warming up and there was a myriad of wetsuits to borrow as well as the rest of the gear - most notably prescription snorkels (!!!!!). Thank you for the adventure - the photos are a huge bonus.

Instructor was really insightful and helpful about the knowledge of the area, very friendly, once in the water he was very efficient in terms of where the animals were and what to do if you find yourself struggling in the water, how to use equipment etc.
All in all was a very lovely trip, got to see all sorts of wonderful fish and a stingray (someone saw a shark but I missed it!!) very pretty kelp underneath the water too.
If anyone likes to snorkel I would recommend this trip. The time flew by.

Up to you but a phone can help when you need help. The map is very clear so if you are ok with reading maps and following directions you will be fine. It’s your choice. Let me know if you need anymore assistance?
Meet at car park exit at Shelly beach. Car park is at the end of bower st near Shelly beach. There is a manly scenic walkway sign at disabled parking spot at meeting spot. It is near cliff looking at the water
Damien
Thank you for your response!!
If my mom doesn't want to do the snorkeling but would like to join the tour, is there an option for that?
Also, we will be staying in North Bondi. How do you recommend we all join the tour?
Damo
Warriewood, Australia
Hi, yes she can come on walking let of tour for first 30mins $30 or just relaxed at cafe or beach on her own while your on the tour.
Go to circular quay from Bondi then catch ferry to manly. Then walk to Shelly beach. It’s a nice journey
Let me know if yet have any other questions?
Hi, my kids are 6 and 7 years old and are strong swimmers. Would they be able to participate in this excursion?
Damo
Warriewood, Australia
Yes no worries, As long as they will be confident in the water and be fine to keep up with the group and you take care of them then that is ok.

We will be visiting Sydney & Melbourne from Southern California Oct 4. We are a family of 3 and can snorkel. Will the water be warm enough to swim or snorkel. Does anyone offer shark cage diving? Please let me know ASAP so I can book.
Is this the tour for us to see sea life, variety of species, seals, etc?
Thank you.
Damo
Warriewood, Australia
Hi, yes water is fine all year if you have the right type of wetsuit. We provide suit and all the gear. Our manly snorkel tour is your best option. We have 2hr or 4hr option listed on our website. There are seals in Sydney but you don’t see them when you snorkel. Best spot for seals is narooma which is 6hrs sth of Sydney. Only cage diving is in port Lincoln sth Australia.
We do have port Jackson and wobbygong sharks you can see when you snorkel along with range of other spices. Most famous is the big blue groper of Sydney.
You can book on our website and you will get automatic email with meeting detail.
Let me me know if you have any other question?

Sí, tenemos 1 guía de snorkel que puede hablar español. ¿Cuándo quisiste ir a la gira? ya que tendríamos que informarle las fechas en las que está reservada para dirigir la gira.

Hi, Sorry there is no kayaking allowed at night. You can only kayak in day light hours with our kayaks. It is not very safe on the water way at night in a small vessel.
Thanks
