Turtles, sharks and sting rays - This trip is amazing! Short trip to the snorkeling spot. Great small group with an amazing crew, Lexi was our guide she was helpful and knowledgeable about the animals we saw. As soon as we got in the water we saw 3 turtles straight away and from there we saw 2 sharks a school of sting rays and at least another 15-20 turtles as well as different fish. Highly recommend to all.

Epic - Great tour! We saw lots of turtles and a few sharks 😧 Very knowledgeable staff who guided us through the area and pointed out all the sea life. The time zones can be a little confusing though 😁

Great family adventure - The tour was fantastic. From start to finish we enjoyed every moment. We couldn't believe how many turtles we saw. The tour we experienced was amazing, our guides Lexie and Caz looked after us so well. Our family of four loved it, including our teenage boys that did not have much snorkelling experience.

Snorkelling with turtles - Lexi and Cassie were both experienced and professional. My niece and I thoroughly enjoyed the snorkelling and felt safe in the open waters. We saw plenty of turtles, leopard sharks, needle fish amongst other fish. Water clarity was perfect! Highly recommend going with Cooly Eco tours!

So Many Turtles up close - So many turtles we lost count! We really enjoyed our afternoon with Gemma & Rocky, both have great knowledge and care. I will be recommending the tour to all our visitors - thank you for making it clear on the website and emails that the tour is QLD time Not only did we see a lot of turtles the abundance of fish, starfish and the occasional little shark (leopard I believe) Manta Rays was incredible both Rocky & Gemma watching over our small group which gave us time to relax and see them all - thank you we will be back

Snorkeling with Turtles 🐢 - We had the best experience snorkeling with Jemma and Lucky. We rate this experience above any theme parks in Gold Coast. The weather was perfect, lot of turtles and fishes. It was magical. Our boys, 9 and 6 year old loved it. Would love to do it every time we are here.
