About this list
If you want to go snorkeling with sea turtles in Australia, the useful question is not whether the sea turtles are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 8 operators in Australia that name the sea turtle as a target species and actually run snorkeling. All 8 operators on this list publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare them directly. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, May–Nov and Mar–Oct among them. There is no single season for sea turtle trips in Australia, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list sea turtle, gray reef shark, whitetip reef shark, silvertip shark and coral as target species. Ways to meet them: snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming and boat-based watching. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
