ABC Reef Safaris

ABC Reef Safaris deserve their 5 star reviews. We were some the first guests to experience their brand new vessel, Voyager. The ship is pristine and well equipped. …

We were lucky enough to snorkel on Voyager recently and it was hands down one of the best reef experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we stepped onboard, the day felt premium, relaxed and incredibly well organised. The boat itself is spacious, stable and exceptionally comfortable. The ride out to the reef was smooth, with plenty of room to move around and take in the views. Downstairs, the air-conditioned lounge was a welcome retreat between snorkels, with wide, comfortable seating that made it easy to relax and recharge. And the top deck was absolute perfection. Stretching out in the sun, watching the reef glide by, it felt like a private experience. The snorkelling was unforgettable. The marine life was abundant and thriving, we even saw three turtles swimming together at once, which was such a special moment. There were vibrant coral gardens, schools of tropical fish everywhere, and so many little reef details we would have completely missed without the guidance of the crew. The guides were outstanding, incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely passionate about the reef. Every snorkel felt like a guided exploration rather than just a swim. They shared fascinating insights about coral ecosystems, marine behaviour and reef conservation, making the whole experience both inspiring and educational. The food on board was another highlight - fresh, generous and genuinely delicious. Getting in and out of the water was also incredibly easy. Voyager’s large ocean-level platform and wide ladder design made entry and exit smooth and comfortable. You’re able to step down gradually until the water reaches your chest before gently dismounting, which made it ideal for me. Voyager strikes the perfect balance between luxury and authentic reef adventure. Spacious, comfortable, expertly run and deeply informative, it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into creating something truly special. If you’re considering a snorkelling tour, this is the one. Absolutely world-class.

We had the most amazing time on the reef with ABC yesterday. We picked this company for the small group size which enabled a really personal experience as well as access to bits of the reef some of the larger boats don’t visit. There were only 11 guests to the 5 crew and we were in groups of no more than 4 guests to one crew member in the water which we loved. They have a new boat which is very comfortable even in some pretty choppy waters. Take seasickness tablets if you have any suspicion you might need them!! The crew (captain Gallagher, Pam, Will, Maria and Mabel) were all fantastic - super helpful, kind and knowledgable. We also had the pleasure of 6 year old captain-in-the-making Maggie’s company and expert fish knowledge! We really enjoyed Will’s marine wildlife talk which made us excited to spot reef sharks. Maria was our fantastic reef guide in the water and helped us spot some amazing marine life and was great company on the boat. The team kept us well fed through the day too with a lovely lunch after our snorkelling. We had plenty of time in the water and saw some amazing things, including breathtaking coral, huge clams and a group of massive bumphead parrot fish. On our second snorkel we were very lucky to see a reef shark and a turtle which was an amazing way to finish up. It was a really special experience made all the better by the wonderful crew. Thanks guys!
