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!

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!

Snorkel with turtles - A fabulous experience. The crew were wonderful and so helpful, and there were so many gorgeous turtles up close. We were lucky to also get a whole pod of dolphins nearby. Great to have an activity my 3 kids aged 14-21 could all enjoy together. I'd highly recommend and would do again :)
