OCEAN SAFARI

Wherever possible, Ocean Safari's warm and welcoming team delight in enabling people of all abilities to enjoy the unforgettable rush on the quickest ride to the Great Barrier Reef.

The Ocean Safari vessel is suitable for most ages from 6 months upwards (weather permitting). Unfortunately, tours are not suitable for guests with pre-existing back, neck or hip injuries or who are heavily pregnant.

Ocean Safari tours depart from the beach at Cape Tribulation, which is a short 5-minute walk from the check-in office. Boarding the vessel is via a set of stairs which drop down onto the sandy beach from the front of the vessel. Due to the nature of the day’s activities, the accessibility of the boat, and the necessity of beach boarding, some guests with limited mobility may require additional assistance or may be unable to participate, depending on individual circumstances. Ocean Safari will always strive to accommodate where practical and possible, within the constraints of existing infrastructure. Please contact Ocean Safari’s supportive team to discuss your unique access requirements by phoning (07) 4098 0006 or emailing tours@oceansafari.com.au.

Please note that snorkeling can be a strenuous activity with additional risks for some guests. You will be asked to complete a medical questionnaire prior to boarding, which can also be completed ahead of time using your own device. Please ensure you answer this honestly for your own safety. If you are not a confident swimmer, please make sure you notify staff at check-in. Life jackets and pool noodles are offered on board for extra buoyancy, and a range of prescription masks are available for hire. Please note that a ladder is the only means of water entry and exit at snorkel sites.

The Ocean Safari office is located onsite at Turtle Rock Cafe, which is also home to Safari Lodge. Free car parking is available and Ocean Safari offers a courtesy pick up from most Cape Tribulation accommodation houses.
