5Excellent
Excellent, small group experience. Terrific staff: friendly, funny and fun, but very safety oriented - great equipment (including full length wetsuits) instruction and guiding. Sea-life was fantastic. So many creatures, so many colours - bucket-list stuff for sure. I'll never forget it
5Incredible experience
Just got back from our reef experience and had a blast! We were initially a tad worried because of the rough waters that were forecast but Lachie and Liam allayed our fears with their confidence and knowledge. Lachie Was a standout guide tracking down a big turtle and a couple of clownfish for us to see! All in all saw so many incredible reef life and loved having a beer on the sandbar out in the middle of the reef. Definitely a standout of the trip!
5A family Must Trip!!!
Isaac & Lachie were amazing. We felt super safe, they explained everything and the trip exceeded our expectations. The reef was stunning, the short boat ride there and back meant we could capitalise our trip and make the most of the snorkelling time. Would 100 % recommend, and we would absolutely go again. We had one child with us, they had child wetsuits, and life jackets to him with. And we got to see a sting ray, sea turtles, so much beautiful coral and even Nemo and Marlin 😍😍
5Cape Trib, Great Barrier Reef Snorkle
Such an amazing fun experience with the family. Isaac and Lockie were awesome, knew there stuff and were super friendly. I will definitely be recommending Ocean Safari!
5Great experience and guides!
We had the perfect weather, saw turtles amazing fish, Lachie was a great tour guide and Issac also a great boat driver! Laid back but very knowledgeable and welcoming
5Swim with turtles
Brilliant day out. Was a bit nervous but Lachy and Isaac were great are calming my fears and were such excellent people. Admin people were so helpful too. Reef was great, saw a turtle, high point for me. With such a small boat and just 25 people it felt much more personal than the big tourist boats further south. Well worth the drive

About Cape Tribulation
Cape Tribulation is a remote headland in the Daintree rainforest of tropical north Queensland, where World Heritage forest runs down to reef beaches.
Cape Tribulation lies north of the Daintree River, where forested mountains drop to beaches facing the Coral Sea. Captain Cook named the cape in 1770, after his ship the Endeavour struck a reef offshore. Reaching it means crossing the Daintree River on a small cable ferry, and the road beyond twists through dense rainforest.
