          What a fab snorkelling trip
          This really is a must do trip - it’s a small group- max 12 and there were 10 on our trip. Ken and Kate were very hospitable and really looked after us. The boat was very stable we rear ladder access to the water so easy to get on and off. Noodles were available and, for me, this gave extra confidence in the water. Masks, snorkel and fins were supplied and Kate took great care to ensure they fitted well and changed mine to improve the fit. Stopped at 4 sites all of which had a great range of wildlife and the corals were spectacular, especially on the last site within the marine sanctuary. In addition to the range of fish, we saw dolphins on the way out and a turtle as well as a tiger shark swimming by. There were 2 resting reef sharks on one of the drops as well! A really packed day with a break for lunch where we waded to shore to return to eat on the boat. Made our holiday and we would thoroughly recommend.

          Full day snorkelling and wildlife interaction tour
          Thank you Zac and Chloe for the great day we had with quick access to top snorkelling sites, drifting on a rope on the back of the boat to get up close to a dolphin pod, watching a tiger shark from the boat gently meander though the crystal clear water, snacks and lunch. So good.

          Beautiful day on the reef
          This was an exceptionally well organised tour - intimate, adaptive to the weather, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable guides. Saw the most stunning abundance of marine life, including mantra rays, turtles, and sharks. Definitely recommend!

          A great day out in the water.
          Did the full snorkel tour which was exactly as described with 3 full snorkels and a good lunch. The snorkelling was great but the bonus was that you followed a guide in the water who pointed out features and added a layer of safety. Other tours it was a case of jump in the water and climb out when finished. We Had a great day. Enjoyed every part of it. Have done tours in coral bay and cairns and this was better. Can’t fault this tour.

          Amazing day snorkeling the reef
          This tour was fantastic. We enjoyed an opportunity to watch humpback whales and snorkel the reef. The marine life and coral was amazing and with the small tour group it did not feel crowded at all. We saw dolphins, turtles, sting rays and many colourful fish. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring we had a great experience. Would highly recommend.

          Fabulous and worth it
          Best snorkelling tour in Exmouth. Saw so much marine life in a relaxed setting all day. Had time to enjoy it rather than a quick look and off. The food was fabulous and the small group was more personal than tours with bigger groups. I’d definitely recommend this tour. I’d say it was better than the whale shark tour as it was less regimented, more relaxed, you get more for the money you pay and you get to spend more time with the marine life. It was a magical day seeing dugongs, hump backs, turtles, sharks, dolphins, rays, coral and lots of colourful fish.

          Just the best
          We had two days with them and both were great, they were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They could go to the shallower parts of the reef due to the size of their boat and spotted a lot of sea life like dugongs, turtles and we even had dolphins swimming with us, an experience we will never forget.

          Ningaloo Reef with Cape Immersion
          We had a fabulous day with Janine and Taz of Cape Immersion. Three snorkelling expeditions which revealed turtles, rays, reef sharks, beautiful coral and so much more. Cruised the lagoon and saw 5 species of sharks (including hammerhead!), great food, careful and informative attention from the crew. We would have NO hesitation in recommending Cape Immersion to anyone looking to explore Ningaloo Reef. Thank You!

          Amazing tour exploring some of the less accessed parts of the reef. Guide and boat captain did an amazing job looking after us and finding some of the most incredible wildlife. Lunch was amazing on a beach all to ourselves. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough

        Hello
        I also did this tour last Friday and really enjoyed the experience. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable however after seeing the other review, I have to agree that it was a lot shorter than expected. We were waiting at the jetty from 8am and the yellow boat was nowhere to be seen at 830. We were well and truly back by 11am and it felt very rushed which was a shame given how beautiful the reef is to snorkel. There was also no mention of a ship wreck.

        We had a fantastic afternoon on this tour, everything was very well organised and informative. Great knowledgeable and friendly guides.

        We had a large group with many kids and were picked up from our hotel all together,
        provided all equipment we went to two beautiful snorkeling sites, and saw so many fish, reef sharks and sting rays and saw heaps of turtles from the boat.

        Kids said it was the best part of their whole holiday! Thanks to the awesome staff, we will definitely do this again...

        Lea and Max were amazing and so friendly. There were a lot of young children and one who was really scared to get in the water and Lea took her under her wing and she ended up having an amazing experience in the water and loved it. Max was so knowledgeable and made us feel feel safe and spotted Dugongs and Turtles and it was just a really special experience all round. Even our 4 year old jumped in the water for his first swim in the ocean!

        Hi Kiara, I'm so glad your 4 year old got in! We love hearing that we can provide a brand new and enjoyable experience for people. There have been so many dugongs around lately which is special as they are often shy animals and our resident turtles are always a favourite. Thank you, we hope we see you again.

        There is plenty to like about the experience.
        Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating staff who knew how to make the trip a good one for everyone, eg families with young children, couples, singles. Drift snorkelling is something to be learnt very quickly if you haven’t been before and plenty of people on our trip hadn’t - but again, the staff were kind and sensitive to this. The snorkelling itself was excellent.

        This was a fantastic day out.
        As one with little kids, they were supportive and when they didn’t want to do the swimming , the skipper was happy to watch them so I didn’t miss out (which being solo with two kids I always miss out) And we’re supportive of the kids for trying and getting into the water as well.
        It was one of the best experiences of my life! The kids and I thoroughly enjoyed the day out.
        Big thank you to the skipper and Janine! You guys are fantastic.

Their wealth of knowledge about the reef and their expertise on safety and hospitality made it wonderful we swam with turtles saw whales, dolphins and a shark.

        We went on the half day turtle tour with Cape Immersion, and had a brilliant day! We had the lovely Jan in the water with us, who guided us along the reef and pointed out so much wildlife - rays, small sharks, octopus, catfish, and much more. The highlight was getting the chance to encounter a turtle in the water, and getting to see many from the boat during the cruise. A fantastic tour, kind and professional crew, and overall a great way to spend a Wednesday morning! Would recommend this tour to everyone.

        Max, our skipper, and Janine, our snorkel guide and photographer were amazing. The first snorkel we saw lots of coral and fish. The second snorkel spot we saw reef sharks, turtles, more wonderfully coloured fish and coral. We then visited a spot where turtles are known to inhabit. We spotted quite a few turtles and watched a pair mating for quite a while. It's a smaller boat, so less people, more personal. Photos are not included in the price. But very easy to purchase from Janine and even easier to download.

        Hi Prue, Thank you for the review. Its a great time of year to see turtles at the moment as it is mating season, soon they will be nesting and then the eggs hatching (another great spectacle to see) We do our best to offer a personal experience so glad you had a great time.

        We really enjoyed the trip, Mick and Janine were fantastic and we got to see the beautiful coral reef and stunning sea life. However, we didn’t leave until close to 9am and we were back just after 11, a lot shorter trip than advertised . Can’t remember the wreck Mildura being pointed out either. Hate to criticise, but we were disappointed with the short trip.

        Hi Lyn, Thank you for your feedback on the tour I am glad to hear you enjoyed the experience. As for the duration, it may have been misunderstood but this tour runs for two and a half hours on board the boat from 08:30 until 11:00 or sometimes longer. As most guests take advantage of our complimentary shuttle the total duration is at least three and a half hours including the drive from town to the departure point and return. As your group elected to meet at the boat, you were advised the tour was to depart at 08:30. It is disappointing to receive criticism from you since our crew had to wait for you to arrive at 08:40. Our crew then did the best they could to provide as much time as possible in the water to make sure everyone had a great snorkelling experience. They also took extra time after 11:00 which is difficult for them when we are so busy during Easter school holidays taking the total duration of the tour to if not 2.5 hrs then very close to it. With this in mind I do feel it is not justified to criticise our crew or tour on the duration, after being responsible for the delay in departure time yourself. The crew could have departed at 08:30 and left you behind, but they chose not to If anything I feel they deserve praise.
