Great day on the GBR!
Small group charters are the way to go on the GBR! Safe, fun, very informative. All of the dive guides are marine biologists and they spot things you would never find yourself - from Finding Nemo, to giant wrasse, all the tropical fish you would hope for, as well as a white tip shark. Shout out to Inma, Sam, and Capt. Jason! Thanks for a great day!

Great Experience!
The whole crew was very professional. Paula and Inma were snorkeling with us and showed and explained very professionally many very interesting things about reef and marine life. This really gave a distinguished and personalized experience.

Amazing day with ABC Snorkel to the Outer Reef from Port Douglas! Our crew were fantastic. We had two marine biologists, Sam and Inma, who were informative, fun and friendly, and Jason was an awesome captain.
There were only 9 other people on the boat, so the whole experience was very special.
We saw so many species of beautiful fish and coral, and also a turtle.
Would highly recommend this fantastic company

Do this!
This is the only way to really snorkel on the GBR - 9 people, smooth comfortable transport, no other boats in sight, untouched reef all around, fish of every kind, amazing coral diversity, top notch equipment (including prescription masks) delicious food and, best of all, enthusiastic marine biologists on the boat and in the water helping you to discover and understand the amazing underwater world. If you do nothing else while in Port Douglas, spend a day with ABC. It was the highlight of our Australia tour!

We had an incredible day, the crew was exceptional and very knowledgable. Small boat and catered to your every need. I would highly recommend using ABC Snorkel charters for all my friends and associates.

An amazing and unforgettable experience.
Undoubtedly the highlight of our family's stay. ABC's professional and enormously knowledgable staff kept everything safe, simple, informative and unforgettable.Swimming and snokelling on two coral reefs with creatures we've only ever seen on television was an exceptional experience. The swim group leaders Paula and Inma were as skilled, helpful and in control in the water as on the boat. Jason gave us a smooth ride out and back to the reefs... left Port Douglas at 8 back at 3ish. Complaints? None. Sobresaliente. Thank you.John Helen Isabella Liverpool U.K.

We feel so lucky to have witnessed the absolute magic that is the Great Barrier Reef, especially with the guidance of Sam and Inma on our snorkelling tour to the Outer Reef. With 12 people only, we loved the small-group intimacy, the friendly onboard hospitality and the level of comfort the team instilled in what to expect and gave reassurance (particularly for those who were a bit more anxious to be in the middle of the water with no land around). We had a fantastic day and there's no other way we would want to explore the reef again. Hats off to the team for giving us an unforgettable experience!
Thank you Suki & Chiraag. We’re truly touched by your kind words and so pleased by how much you enjoyed the outer reef experience with us. We hope to show you more amazing and remote places one day soon!
Best wishes from Team ABC

Fabulous experience of a lifetime
This was the most mazing experience I have ever had on a vacation. Inma, Sam and Jason are experts and also warm and inviting. We went to areas you would never see on a larger charter. There is not one thing I would change and wish we had time to go again. Great value for a magical memory I will never forget.

Had high expectations from everything I had read about this tour and the experience was above and beyond! We got lucky with the conditions, with incredible visibility and calm waters. The 3 staff were so knowledgeable and very friendly, really helpful and it was great to have all questions answered whilst snorkeling. Would go back and recommend to anyone thinking of snorkeling - tiny group and going to reefs where nobody else was made this utterly unmissable
Thanks so much, Sam! 🙌 We're thrilled to hear we exceeded your expectations - it’s what we aim for! 🌞 Our team loves sharing their knowledge and showing off the quiet, beautiful reefs. Hope to see you again for another unforgettable day out there! 🐠💙

A spectacular experience
Thank you Sam, Paula, Inma & Jason for a fantastic day out on the reef!The small group meant we were able to reach locations other boats are unable to. I really appreciate that they change up the locations to minimise the impact (but also to go to where the reef is best!) The guides were fantastic and pointed out many fish and coral and displayed a lot of passion! I hired the Gopro and got some incredible photos, which Paula also helped to get some great footage.

Great snorkeling in a small group
My partner and I booked a snorkeling tour with ABC at the beginning of October, and it was great! Our captain was Jason, our snorkeling guides Sam and Paola.We had 2 sessions. Both times we were split in 2 groups, one for each guide - so you are 6 guests max per group - and we saw loads. Turtles, (healthy) corals, countless species of pretty fish of various sizes like clownfish, trumpet fish etc. Some of our fellow snorkelers saw a shark and a barracuda. My personal highlights were the giant clams, which I had never seen before.Between the sessions, we had tea and pastries. After the 2nd session we had lunch (a chicken wrap if I remember correctly) during the ride back.Beyond the snorkeling, which was really good, what made the trip great was the size of the group and the passionate crew. Jason took us to great spots. Sam and Paola were super engaged, knowledgeable, fun and attentive. I had a health issue which made swimming awkward, and my partner is generally a poor swimmer, but Sam and Paola checked in with us at the beginning to understand our needs better, and made sure we were fine at all times. At some point Paola even waited for me while I was attending to my health issue on the boat for the 2nd session while Sam had taken the rest of the group until we could join. I was so embarrassed, but they acted like it was the least they could do. They could name everything we saw and had a piece of info for each fish. Top guides.Overall the experience felt much more personal than any large tour we could have booked. Thank you ABC!

Bucket list trip to the Great Barrier Reef
This has been a bucket list trip 30 years in the making. I did a ton of research in advance of our snorkeling trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Having a 30 year boat Captain with local reef knowledge and two marine biologists swimming alongside us in a small group made us all feel very safe. Our boat allowed us to go to smaller reefs with INCREDIBLE views. While snorkeling, the guides pointed out various corals, fish, and marine life. Don’t miss this intimate, very informative and educational adventure led by passionate advocates for the Reef!!!

5* experience - highly recommended!
The crew and trip far surpassed our expectations. As marine biologists, Paula and Inma were both extremely knowledgable and were excellent hosts. The facts that they shared enroute to our snorkelling locations were super helpful. Having a small group really made the experience special. I don’t think we would’ve felt the same with the larger charters. I’m not a confident swimmer but was made to feel at ease after a thorough briefing of the equipment and Inma’s check-ins when in the ocean.
We had a delicious, large lunch and some baked treats which were all fresh. Book and you won’t regret if!
Simone, we’re absolutely delighted you had such a memorable experience with us! Paula and Inma truly enjoy sharing their passion for the reef, so it’s wonderful to hear their insights made a difference for you. Our small group focus is all about creating that special, more personal vibe, so we’re thrilled it hit the mark! And we’re glad you enjoyed the fresh lunch and treats on board too.
