Our Marine Guides will enthrall you on a reef and marine life discovery on an a highly informative and engaging Adventure Snorkel Tour and Glass Bottom Boat Tour at our two unique Upolu Reef sites - "Wonder Wall" on the Outer Edge Upolu Reef and our "Aquarium" coral garden reef site amongst the beautiful shallow, azure coloured waters of Upolu Cay Reef.

Duration: 6 hours

Stop At: Upolu Cay, Australia

Ocean Freedom travels to two Great Barrier Reef sites - "Wonder Wall" on the Outer Edge of Upolu reef (a truly magnificent snorkel and dive site) and Upolu Cay Reef - a beautiful shallow turquoise coral garden site.

Upolu Cay site is truly magnificent - picture a coral garden reef with lots of colourful reef fish darting in and out of the staghorn coral as you snorkel in these crystal clear shallow waters surrounding Upolu Cay. Look out for turtles popping to the surface for a breath of air, stingrays eagerly scouring the bottom for food. Sometimes you can stand thigh deep on the Cay in the middle of the ocean, other days we can land on this glistening white beautiful coral cay - each day a little mystery of nature but always we have the stunning turquoise waters to snorkel in and around this magnificent Great Barrier Reef area.

Make sure you have your camera ready for this truly picturesque site!

The crew was absolutely the BEST! They seemed genuinely happy about doing their jobs and helping us to have a wonderful time. There was lots of fresh fruit, crackers and cheese, fantastic lunch and desert cakes. Their attention to our group whole snorkeling was commendable. When proving help they never make anyone feel like they were weak or incapable in the water but uniquely made assisting us fun. I can’t imagine finding a better outfitter for the reef snorkel or dive for the day. Thank You

This trip was amazing. The staff made you feel welcome, safe and built your confidence to scuba dive if that’s your intention. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to take us out to see this magnificent thing.

We loved our trip with Ocean Freedom. Highly recommend, it is a fantastic day out, the crew were so friendly and informative. Special shout out to Rose who made our trip extra special. It was so well organised. The food is delicious. Skipper Mike took care of us all and made sure safety was no. 1 priority. Thanks so much to Ocean Freedom for such a wonderful day.

We had the most incredible experience scuba diving with Ocean Freedom in the GBR! It was my first time scuba diving and we did two introductory dives. We were also able to snorkel as well and went to two different locations. It was a rainy and choppy day, which led to seeing the most amazing sea life. We saw black tip and white tip reef sharks, blue-spotted, lagoonrays, cowtail stingrays, sea turtles and many fish. We made the best memories. Thank you so much to the team!

This tour was amazing, the snorkelling was absolutely gorgeous with crystal clear waters we spotted turtles, stingrays and beautiful fish. The crew were lovely, super friendly and very knowledgeable. From stepping on the boat for breakfast to leaving in the evening it was soo well organised and allowed the guests to chill while the crew took care of everything. Lunch was lovely along with snacks and drinks throughout the day. A bonus with time from sunbathing on the front of the boat on the way home:) A must do tour from Cairns!
