Damien was an excellent and knowledgeable guide - kind, patient, and clearly passionate about conservation and our local area. It felt like a real gift to experience Cabbage Tree Bay in such capable hands. Thank you, Damien! We will book again.

Visibility wasn’t the best that day so we didn’t see a ton but saw some interesting fish and a ray. Very protected bay so great for novice or kids. Lauren was an excellent guide.

What a great experience! For anyone interested in spending some quality time experiencing the beautiful local marine ecosystems of greater Sydney, this is an absolute must. Our guide (Damien, if I remember correctly) was fantastic and very personable… and the local marine life were such gracious, peaceful and serene hosts!

This was a fantastic tour. We had the best snorkeling guide! He was very knowledgeable and kind. He dealt with the flimsy weather very well and we got to really appreciate and enjoy the water.

We had a great time on the 1.5 hour snorkel with a short nature walk to kick things off. It was a nice snorkel in Cabbage Tree Aquatic Reserve and we saw several kinds of fish. We even got lucky and saw two wobbegong sharks! Damien was a great guide, super knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe. We appreciated that all gear was provided. It was a small group experience too, so it felt comfortable without feeling overcrowded.

It was a great experience. I have never experienced such a beautiful snorkel tour. While swimming you will encounter sea turtles, different species of rays and large schools of fish in all sizes. The guidance during the tour is also very good. This gives you a safe and comforting feeling, especially if you are excited about swimming among the sea creatures. Definitely recommended.

If you enjoy snorkelling this is the trip for you. There is a huge variety of fish to see and if you are lucky the turtle will come and swim with you. Groups are small and our guide Laura was very attentive and ensured we got the best experience ensuring everyone was comfortable with their gear throughout the snorkelling trip. We started with a hike overlooking Shelly beach as seen on the Bold and Beautiful! So thrilled we made it here.

The small group Manly snorkel tour was amazing. Our family of 4 had Damien as our amazing guide. The meeting place was easy to find. The upfront communication with Ecotreasures was perfect - helpful reminders, etc. The land portion, or nature walk, was informative and very useful especially because we planned to spend the balance of the tour of our tour on Manly. Damien had great recommendations, including sending us to a fantastic Thai lunch spot that there is no way we would have found otherwise. The snorkeling was amazing. Damien struck the perfect balance between performing as a guide and also letting us go at our own pace. I always feel like the trait of a good guide on a small group is a guide who has the energy and passion as if it is their first tour, but the expertise and knowledge as if it is their 1,000th tour, and that describes Damien EXACTLY. If you are considering this trip, don't hesitate. Book with confidence and you will not regret it.
