Whether travelling up or down the beautiful eastern coast of Queensland, one of your highlights will be snorkelling and maybe even diving the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, truly one of the greatest natural wonders of the world!

The Great Barrier Reef started to form 2 million years ago. It stretches over 2,300km, running from just north of Bundaberg to the top of Cape York Peninsula. It is actually made up of over 2,900 reefs, 300 coral cays and 618 continental islands, now you can see why it got its name. Here you’ll find 1,500 species of fish, 400 species of coral, 4,000 species of molluscs, 6 species of turtles (some on the endangered list) and some of the largest populations of dugong in the world.

OCEAN FREE Sail to Great Barrier Reef & Green Island

Ocean Free is a true sailing tour where the engines really do get switched off (wind prevailing). Surveyed to carry 52, Ocean Free limits its daily passenger numbers to just 25, ensuring a truly personalised and unforgettable Great Barrier Reef experience. This is Cairns’ only sailing tour to offer a Great Barrier Reef and tropical Green Island destination, in one day. You have over 4.5 hours to snorkel, dive, experience and explore these two great locations, and the amount of time spent between the reef and island is completely up to you!

Worth every penny! The staff are really dedicated to making sure everyone has a great time. They're adaptable to any experience level. I hadn't snorkeled or swam in years so I wanted to make sure I didn't overestimate myself based on my past abilities. They helped me get started with the snorkeling set up and made sure I was comfortable, either letting me go on my own or hold onto a ring as they pulled less confident people around. Once I was good going on my own, I honestly swam around a guide every so often to learn more about the reef. They're so knowledgeable about the sea life, you could point to anything and they'd tell you about it. Plus I got to see the harder to spot stone fish thanks to the guide! More experienced people would just immediately go off on their own and of course still had a great time.

100% recommend!I took trips on Ocean Free and Ocean Freedom.Both absolutely spectacular!Ocean Free was chilled and beautiful. Just 9 guests!The mooring off Green Island was a perfect place to dive and snorkel. We saw turtles, rays, and a million fish!The reef is so close and accessible.Ocean Freedom was amazing- fast and comfortable with appropriately 25 guests. The sites we moored at were beyond stunning!Again, turtles, reef sharks, barracuda. It is such a beautiful and fascinating world of sealife. And all so close!The crews were wonderful, attentive, and genuinely passionate!I dived and snorkelled on both trips. I felt safe and comfortable with all the crew.If you're on the fence about booking- just do it. You will not be disappointed!

The most amazing crew and such an incredible experience!Paul created such a safe and stunning intro dive experience. I had never dived before and felt so cared for. Paul and Tommy both provided phenomenal instruction. I was guided safely around beautiful Reef and saw so much!Tommy later guided me snorkeling and made sure I saw a big turtle.Lunch was also delicious and refreshing.Sailing a delight, even when it rained.Brooke is so kind, Jade so helpful, and Pascal is hilarious!I can't say enough about how much I loved it all. I already want to go again!

Die Tour war super einfach toll. Die Mitarbeiter waren total super. Sehr fürsorglich super nett und zuvorkommend. Sie haben sich während des Schnorchelns und auch während des Tauchens super viel Mühe gegeben. Auch Anfanger wurde super geholfen und sich sehr viel Mühe geben. Das Boot war auch absolut nicht überfüllt die Tourgröße hat super gepasst. Essen war auch mehr als genug fur alle da es wurden somit alle super versorgt. Ich kann diese Tour absolut nur weiterempfehlen. Das Reef war auch super sehr farbenreich, viele Tiere und andrem auch eine Schildkröte. Die Tour ist aufjedenfall ihr Geld wert von Angang bis Ende nur zu Empfehlen es war ein Großartiger Tag in einem sonst sehr Touristenreichen Gebiet.

Staff were Awesome from star to finish, We picked a cracker of a day to go weather wise but unfortunately was still very high tide so water visibility wasn't great but the experience was great with plentiful fresh food and certainly plenty to look at.

Amongst all Agents out there in Cairns this people are the best. From the moment I informed them i am not a competent swimmer this agent was the only one that insured me no matter how experienced i am they will be there to guide and assist and they did perfectly.I got sea sick and they took care of me. Plenty of food and snacks and above all great, caring and fun team. I have a terrible memory to remember names. But the crew on Friday 28th February were amazing. The best day of my stay in cairns. Thank you 🤩

My girlfriend and I booked the ocean freedom and added the assisted intro dive to our booking. Seriously this was the highlight of our two week trip in Australia. The crew was amazing and just such good energy to be around. Would recommend to anyone!!

Had a great time snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef with the crew at Ocean Freedom. They were a touch more expensive than some other options, but a lot of the research I did beforehand said it was worth it, given they were a smaller operator with great service.We were really pleasantly surprised to find this was true. We got a huge amount of care, attention and positivity from the crew regardless of the weather or the conditions. It was nice not having to worry about bringing water or food. We were very well fed the entire day. It didn't matter if you were experience or novice, they accommodated to your comfort-zone and made sure you had a great experience.Really enjoyed the entire day and glad I picked this option.
