Your day on Ocean Free

Board Ocean Free at 7:30am from Marlin Marina. You will be greeted on the wharf by one of our crew (just look for the big white “O” and dolphin).

After leaving the dock you can assist with the hoisting of the sails and after an introductory safety brief - you can just kick back and enjoy the motor sail to Green Island on the Great Barrier Reef.

For those of you wishing to scuba dive the paperwork and briefs are completed during the journey out, so when we arrive at The Great Barrier Reef you are ready to dive!

Once sails are dropped we meander through the reef to our private mooring at Pinnacle Reef with Green Island just 700m away — all you’ve ever dreamed of in a tropical paradise!

The boat is greeted by schools of spangled emperors, yellow tailed fusiliers, parrot fish and giant trevally.

Once briefed on the water activities – your adventures begin!! 

Following the morning's snorkeling and scuba diving you feast on a delicious smorgasbord lunch.

After lunch transfers to the island begin – look out for turtles on the way!
