Whale watching - Fantastic trip to watch the Humpback Whales migration from a safe and respectful distance, whilst being close enough.

Good trip - Ride out of Brunswick Heads marina was a thrilling one due to heavy swell & high waves coming at us! Well done skipper we enjoyed that! Saw pods of dolphins just after marina. That was a lovely surprise. Out to Julian Rock site. Lots of fish, turtles, some harmless sharks all pointed out by our knowledgeable guides Gabby & Geanne who looked after everyone well & kept us all safely away from the rocks in the currents. 1hr in water was plenty. Surfed the waves back into marina. A good trip.

Amazing experience with incredible sightings - I've had great snorkelling experiences on the Great Barrier Reef, Tasmania and South Australia but hands down, this was the best by far. The Out Of The Blue Crew were very professional, knowledgeable and super friendly. The experience itself was something to behold, I felt blessed to see an array of leopard sharks, a leopard ray, stunning fish and all three turtles - green, loggerhead and hawksbill. It was truly a phenomenonal day and one I'll treasure. I would highly recommend this tour and will be back with my son to do it again soon.

Best snorkelling trip! - Our guides were brilliant - really knowledgable and fun! This was our first time snorkelling and we saw so many incredible creatures. We had a great time but this is definitely not for anyone who gets sea sick :)

Richmond River Sunset Cruise. - Highly recommend the Richmond River Sunset cruise with Out of the Blue Adventures. I learnt so much of my local area. Saw the river from a different perspective. And it was fun! Refreshments, snacks and "tunes". Will definitely go again, thanks for a great experience.

Just like the photos - would recommend - Amazing snorkling tour - Julian Rocks are great and it really does look like the photos. We saw loads of leopard sharks, turtles, rays and millions of fish. The guides are professional and efficient without being patronising.

Poor service and lack of professionalism - We booked this trip after reading good reviews, however when we showed up on the morning of the trip, there was no sign of anyone from the company. I tried to call the contact number several times without a response. Finally, someone called me back and said that they had tried to reach us the night before to let us know that the trip was cancelled due to weather conditions, but they couldn't get hold of us. However, no email or text message was sent to ensure that we were aware of the cancellation. I am dissappointed by this poor service and lack of professionalism. I would not recommend this company.
