Best Great Barrier Reef tour!!! - Such a great trek. Zoe was our guide in the water and was amazing. She has a masters in marine biology. She was super knowledgeable and friendly. Celia was great too and Captain Jason got us to the best spots. Definitely worth it to be on a smaller boat with fewer people. A very personal touch and lunch was great too. The reef was amazing. So full of color and so many fish … even spotted a couple sea turtles!!

A Grand Day Out - Will, Celia, and Captain Jason really outdid themselves to make this a memorable and educational day. Our group of four had an amazing adventure -- even the unenthusiastic snorkler was well taken care of and had a great time. Snacks and lunch were delish. And of course the Great Barrier Reef sites just knocked our socks off. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend ABC Snorkel Charter - Great experience with Captain Jason and deck mates Will and Celia. 2 great snorkel hour swims (2+hours in water) at Great Barrier Reef. 2 different locations. Knowledgeable, caring, diving team. Helpful to us. Good food and snacks. Great equipment to use.

Surpassing Expectations - After extensive research on options for snorkeling in Port Douglas, we decided to spend the extra $ on ABC, and it is a decision we didn't regret. There were only 9 of us on the boat; 7 of us snorkeled with Chris, and the other 2 were scuba dived with Will. Will, Chris and Jason were knowledgeable, informative and made sure we were safe and comfortable. We learned so much about the reef and its inhabitants. We went to two different areas of the reef and didn't see another soul; we were instead surrounded by awe-inspiriting fish, giant clams, algae, white tipped sharks, even a sting ray, the natural beauty of the reef. The experience was surreal - so much more than we anticipated or expected. We highly recommend ABC and would certainly snorkel with them again if we find ourselves in Port Douglas.

Great experience - This was an outstanding day on the great barrier reef. The weather was not the best but the crew and guides were outstanding. To have 2 marine biologist be your guide on the reef was amazing, their depth of knowledge as you can imagine was outstanding and really adds to the experience of being on the reef. It was not just a snorkelling experience which is exceptional but an educational one as well

Highlight of Aussie Trip - Topp, increíble. Did 2 days in a row - the crew is great and very attentive, and the tours are designed for small groups. Felt very hand-crafted and personal, and very safe. I did the scuba and saw several sharks, un sting ray, amazing fish, and skyscrapers of coral. Would 100% recommend it was the highlight of my trip.

Just do it! - Everything about our snorkelling trip surpassed expectations. Chris, Will and Jason were brilliant and their enthusiasm for the reef and all it had on offer for us was palpable. The catering was delicious too. 110/100.

Thank you so much! - We had an amazing time with ABC Snorkel Charters swimming in the Great Barrier Reef. We go to swim with hundreds of different fish, turtles, jellyfish and even a little shark. It was so much better being in a small group, there was nobody around but our group and we got to go to all the places that the big boats can’t get to. Zoe, Will and Jason were very knowledgeable and made the day so much fun. We would highly recommend ABC Snorkel Charters for anyone that wants an unforgettable experience on the Great Barrier Reef!

Best Reef Trip - We loved the small boat that the people from ABC. All went well. The big boats (over 100 people on each) did not look like as much fun to me. This is the way to go.
