Fab morning out doing a first time scuba with my son. Instructor was great and very patient. Good value for money. Saw plenty fish and was diving for around half an hour. The boat trip was good too getting to the dive site.

I booked with another firm originally but I changed to this one, paying a little more for them because each time I rang with a question (4 different times!), my call was answered by the owner of the business. My teenage kids did the scuba dive, both first timers. Both had a fabulous experience and saw plenty of marine-life including a small stingray! Highly recommended.

Had an absolutely unforgettable snorkelling adventure this morning! Was initially concerned about the water being too cold for our young kiddos, aged 4 and 8, but it turned out to be a complete non-issue. The water was surprisingly warm and calm, filled with vibrant fish that captivated us all.The wetsuits and other gear provided were invaluable—quite the relief given we're not regular water sports enthusiasts. But what truly made our experience stand out was our guide/instructor Dave. He made sure the instructions were crystal clear, while always keeping an eye on us. Special shoutout for how well he looked after the little ones, making us feel both safe and entertained.If you're looking to have a fun and safe snorkelling experience, I can't recommend this service highly enough! 🐟🌊👌🏼 #SnorkellingAdventure #FamilyFun #HighlyRecommended

Fabulous whale watching experience, friendly team. Highly recommended!

We had a fabulous time on the whale watching trip. Everyone was so knowledgeable and helpful. We saw so many whales, up closer than I thought we ever would. We didn’t go swimming but everyone who did seemed to have a marvellous time.I would recommend this tour as the small groups make it so much more intimate and they really cared about the whole experience for everyone. We saw a number of the bigger cruise boats overloaded with passengers and I’d have to say I’m so glad we did this trip.

It was the best experience we ever had!! I would 100% recommend! The staff was fantastic 👏. I've done whale watching before but it was nothing compared to what I experienced today with Aqua Adventures. It brought us to tears to see such amazing creatures so close! We were able to see plenty of whales and dolphins. 🐬🐋

Really good today guys, thank you for taking care of Phil (aka Squirrel), a dedicated kite surfer and sailor. He is vision impaired and suffers from aspergers syndrome and is required to be permanently helmeted on water, he really enjoyed his discovery dive dive time here.His first time underwater at Manly Aquarium some 8 years ago.He will be back on the Gold Coast late July for round 2, after engineering a custom solution to fit his mask and helmet safely underwater.Thank You

We hired kayaks and the process was quick and easy.We were provided with life jackets and given clear instructions.We kayaked along the opposite side from Sea World and were very delighted when we spotted a dolphin only 20mtrs away from us. It was affordable and very fun. Highly recommend.
