An incredible experience I’ll never forget! The calf gave us a performance that entertained us for 2 hours - breaching, tail slapping, fin waving… Even a loggerhead turtle and 2 bottlenose dolphins joined to get a closer look! What a magical trip!!

We had a great experience with Out of the Blue Adventures at Julian Rocks. There was a fairly strong tide, but our marine biologist guide was exceptional - kind, and incredibly supportive when the current started pulling swimmers. She kept everyone feeling safe and well looked after, which made all the difference. She also took the time to point out differ ent marine life, including wobbegong sharks, green turtles and many different species of fish. it was a really enjoyable, well-run trip that I would recommend.

The snorkeling trip with Out of the blue was amazing! We saw leopard sharks, grey nurse sharks and a lot of fish. At the end of the tour a turtle popped up right in the middle of the group which was amazing! On our way back we even saw some whales (probably humpback), although it was not the season for whales anymore. Very lucky!
