We experienced the most magical day with Out Of The Blue at Julian Rocks. After having our booking cancelled on the Saturday due to very poor conditions, OOTB got us out to the Rocks with skill, expertise and great education. Of note are Angus, Gabs and Emily, who made this experience so great. We saw so many leopard sharks (30+), spotted eagle rays and turtles, along with loads of colourful fish. Angus guided us on the best ways to avoid strong current and we had plenty of time to explore in the water with our guides. We even saw multiple pods of dolphins on the return. This is a day our children will never forget. I couldn't recommend this tour group highly enough.

We really enjoyed our morning snorkeling to Julian Rocks with Gabrielle and Angus. The ride out to the snorkeling spot was enjoyable and our guide was excited to show us everything she could while we were in the water.
We spotted a ray, a turtle, a wobbegong shark, and what felt like a dozen leopard sharks. Of course, we also saw a wide variety of fish, including several schools that swam directly beneath us while we were snorkeling and one that surrounded me while feeding on some plant particles near the surface.
We wholeheartedly recommend this snorkeling activity.

What a wonderful morning ... snorkelling at Julian Rocks - clear water - saw turtles, so many species of fish, numerous docile leopard sharks, large wobbegongs, bull rays, and to top it off, a breaching eagle ray! We were looked after from start to finish - our skipper was skilled and friendly, and so were our marine biologists - both accompanied us in the water keeping us safe, and giving us information on our beautiful sea life below - what an incredible ecosystem ... we must all do 'our bit' in protecting our precious environment - thank you so much and highly recommended ...
