Cooly Eco Adventures

Fabulous, helpful, and accommodating tour guides. They were thorough in preparing travellers for the experience. The boat ride was fun, and we saw dolphins on the way to the island. While snorkeling, we saw a variety of fish and three large turtles.

We went to do the swimming with turtles in Cook Island and we really had an amazing time. The quality of the snorkelling gear was really good and well maintained. I would recommend this company and this tour it to anyone!

Had such a good time with Cooly Eco Adventures on their turtle snorkelling experience out at Cook Island! It was a bit rainy and overcast on the day but it honestly didn’t matter, the visibility was awesome and the water was warm. We saw dolphins straight out of the harbour area and so many turtles! The guys are really knowledgeable and do a good job at pointing things out to the whole group so you don’t miss a thing. Can’t wait to come back.

First time snorkelling! Had a amazing experience with Cooly Eco Adventure. We went on the swim with turtles experience and got to see dolphins as well! The whole crew was very safe, professional and knowledgeable! Thank you for the pineapples and oranges! Nice little treat after swimming.

I’ve been on both the whale watching and turtle snorkeling with Cooly Eco Adventures and both have been fantastic! Lachy is very knowledgeable and professional. The equipment they use is great and you really feel in safe hands. Both our tours we saw dolphins and whales/turtles. It was really special. Highly recommend this company!

We did a turtle tour with Cooly Eco Adventures and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The snorkel was just beautiful! We saw a number of turtles and even got a few good pictures with them. They pointed out all kinds of sea life while sharing details about what we were seeing, The boat they took us out on was comfortable as well as fun. Truly one of our best adventures while visiting Australia!

Highly, highly recommend a Swim with Turtles experience with the Cooly Eco Adventures crew. Lachie runs a professional outfit with excellent safety standards, quality equipment & a very clean craft. His knowledge of the local marine & bird life & his respect for the environment is next level & we felt in very safe hands on the boat. Cass was very informative whilst snorkelling in the water, pointing out different species of fish, turtles & other marine creatures. Excellent morning out for all topped off with numerous dolphin sightings! Will definitely be booking again soon.

A wonderful experience that exceeded all our expectations. The team were awesome they knew where the best snorkelling area to see the turtles…..and turtles we saw. I had the best fun and it was due to a professional team that knew their stuff.
An absolute must do with Cooly Eco Adventures

We had the best day exploring Cook Island and seeing all the amazing wildlife there! We saw plenty of sea turtles and Sophie (one of our tour guides) had a wealth of knowledge about them. We went in the morning which was fantastic because we had the whole space to our tour group for most of the time we were on the water. We highly recommend going on this tour! Thank you Sophie and Joel for all your preparation, knowledge and making this an experience we will always remember!

Such a great day! Cook/Turtle Island is a perfect little gem so close to home. The turtles were an impressive size and so chill. Cooly Eco Adventures always has the smoothest boat to ride and the most interesting marine facts. The crew was so friendly and helpful. It's also great to see a company raising awareness about caring for our environment.
Highly recommend these guys for an enjoyable day out.

This was an absolutely epic experience, so professional and well run. Really enjoyed the cool music played on the way to see the turtles and way home again. Seeing all the turtles was beyond words, also the pod of dolphins.

This company really knows what they are doing, highly recommend this experience. Our family of 5 including 14yr old, 17yr old and 20yr old were beaming afterwards.

I will never forget this until the day I die♥

Fantastic tour. We got to see a few pods of whales and learned some things along the way. With just a small group and boat, the tour was perfect. Guides were helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely use them again!

Great snorkelling with a friendly and professional team. Fantastic marine life, turtles, wobbegong, squid, loads of other fish, corals. Everything from the gear to the excellent boat and safety instructions was spot on and in no time we were out through the river and into the ocean. We had a group ranging in age from 9 to about 60 and everyone had a great adventure, even lucky enough to see a sizeable pod of dolphins. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended, thanks Lachey and Gwen.

Solo adventure but I felt completely looked after and everyone was so friendly. The amount of turtles I saw took my breath away. Thankyou Lachy for watching out for me, taking photos and sharing your knowledge it was a day I’ll always remember 🫶🏼

Absolutely loved it- the water was beautiful and we saw lots of turtles up close and personal. The gorgeous dolphins were surfing and put on an amazing show on the way there and back. Georgie was friendly, helpful and caring and the skipper was fantastic. Great knowledge and love for the sea and all of its wonders. The equipment (wetsuits, flippers and snorkels) were first class. Highly recommend.

Big shoutout to the boy's for running such a fantastic tour. We snorkeled with the turtles at cook island. I'm an experienced snorkeler and yet was blown away by how many turtles we saw and how close we got to them. Can't wait for whale season 🤟

A great day on the water with the tour guides who explained and took care of everthing. Fun on the raft over the waves, got to see a dolphin pod and an amazing experience in the water snorkelling with turtles, Mantra Rays and fish. Recommend a wet suit for the water, made the experience easier.

The best turtle tour I have ever been on!
The team at Cooley Eco were great, for meeting us early , fitting everyone out in wetsuits and flippers , explaining the masks and snorkels.
The trip up the river was good, the boat is fun!
As soon as we got out of the river to the sea, we were greeted by a pod of dolphins, amazing!
Out to the deep blue and our brilliant instructors guided us as we all jumped in to the water.
Snorkelling around we saw the beautiful green turtles, hawksbill turtles, jellyfish, fish of all colours, coral and so much more.
Our tour guide quickly pointed out different things to see and provided great information through out the time in the water.
Back on the boat we enjoyed some fresh fruit while we all chatted about what we saw.
Time to head back in and the dolphins put on a wonderful display.
Back down the river and safely to dock.
The quality of the information given during the trip, the equipment , and knowledge were really good.
Thanks to the Cooley Eco team for a brilliant morning and we’re looking forward to going on the whale tour next!

If your thinking about heading out to see the turtles, I highly recommend this tour!

Snorkeling with the turtles was amazing! Such a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend! Friendly tour guides and the snorkeling equipment was great.

We saw dolphins on the boat ride there and swam with a few turtles and lots of fish. We also saw wobbegong's laying on the bottom of the sea-floor!

This was such an incredibly magical experience. It still feels like a dream. On the way out we saw 2 humpbacks just having a nap. Then arrived at the island and got in the water. So clear amazing visibility.
Saw 5 or 6 turtles that just cruise around so peacefully.
Saw a group of about 10 wobbegongs all sleeping on each other then they all woke up and started swimming about. So cool!
So many beautiful colourful fish and stunning reef. Highly recommend! 👌👌👌👌👌
