Amazing time with caring guides - Amazing day!!!! Saw soo many turtles it was a dream come true for me. Wish I brought an underwater camera. The boat ride was bumpy so if you get seasick take those sickness medications. I felt a little queasy with the pills but ended up fine. They had bags for anyone who was or felt sick. I was worried about swimming in the ocean with the waves but they had pool noodles which made the experience so much better. The boat ride to and from the island was so much fun. When I come back to australia I will def do this trip again with an underwater camera. The guides were amazing and supportive!!!! Def check them out if you are in the gold coast area

A must do experience - Had a sensational afternoon on the water with Abbie and Lachie. They are so professional, well organised and knowledgeable. There were some people on the trip who had never snorkelled before, and I was so impressed how well they were looked after to ensure they had such a great experience. The number of Turtles and other marine life around the island was amazing. When it was time to head back, Lachie spotted some whales in the distance, and went to check them out We then had a once in a lifetime experience for about 30 minutes, up close, watching three whales fin slap, roll and breach. It wasn’t part of the tour but Lachie went out just to give us all the experience. If you’re planning a water activity on the Gold Coast put these guys on top of your list. Can’t speak highly enough of them.

Great experience! - We had the best time with the team from Cooly. We felt very well looked after, and the experience was very accessible and inclusive. We had a small group and had lots of time to ask questions and learn about the turtles. We lucked out on the weather with a beautiful clear day, and a heap of turtles, as well as whales and dolphins! Overall a magical experience and can’t recommend highly enough.

Turtle Island - Simply an incredible experience, the water was so clear and just bursting with life, we saw dolphins plus plenty of turtles, and even a pair of Humpback whales on the way back to shore. The guides Lockie and Will were so knowledgeable about everything and helped make the experience even better! Cannot recommend highly enough, amazing!

Wonderful Experience snorkeling with turtles! - Snorkeling with the turtles was amazing! Such a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend! Friendly tour guides and the snorkeling equipment was great. We saw dolphins on the boat ride there and swam with a few turtles and lots of fish. We also saw wobbegong's laying on the bottom of the sea-floor!
