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!

A wonderful day out on the Reef with the team on Ocean Freedom. Highly recommend this trip - the boat is really comfortable with a fast trip out to the Reef. The team onboard are knowledgeable and fun and they go out of their way to make sure people are safe and enjoying themselves. The snacks and lunch on board are generous and delicious. We had a really nice day out at Apollo reef snorkelling in two locations.marvinodette_b
