Can’t beat the service. And opportunities provided by this small family business. Our recent cruise with the Eco Abrolhos crew gave us the opportunity to venture into a remote area that we couldn’t have done alone. Owner operators have set up an incredible infrastructure to ensure comfort and safety. There’s an impressive variety of vessels to cater for all needs from glass bottom boats, fishing boat (plenty of fish caught to keep the fishers and diners happy), and small transfer ‘barges’ for island visits and snorkelling. The weather and sea conditions weren’t perfect but Jay and the crew made every effort to ensure we experienced everything possible. Would love revisit all the snorkel sites in better days though we were treated with a rare snorkel on the wreck of the Batavia. So much history in the area! The meals aboard were and 11 out of 10. How many ways can you prepare a cray? Truly magnificent! The crew worked tirelessly throughout the day and night to offer variety in our days aboard; comfortable cabins, dining and lounge areas plus spacious top deck area for afternoon drinks and sunsets. Communications and customer service were all outstanding before and after the trip. The Eco Abrolhos has everything you need with the added bonus of being with the locals who have lived and worked the area for a lifetime

A unique experience and adventure - a once in a lifetime opportunity. Recommended without hesitation. This was an amazing experience with Eco Abrolhos everything was perfect the activities snorkeling, fishing, the history, walking on the islands and everything managed by an exceptional crew. The food at every meal was fantastic with so much freshly caught and prepared crayfish and fish. We would recommend this cruise to those who like small group adventures and engaging with nature. It is a cruise without all the formalities of some cruises and is very personal and so much fun.

Abrolhos Island cruise It was a wonderfully trip, from the crayfish pizza on the evening we met at the boat, to the end of our voyage.The Abrolhos Islands were unlike any we had ever seen before and the backdrop to a tale of betrayal and mass murder! The range of activities was great, including fishing, snorkelling, walking, pot pulling (of craypots), swimming, viewing on their glass bottom boat and relaxing. My wife caught her first fish ever and was greatly excited.The crew were terrific and very friendly as were our fellow guests .The meals were amazing, with crayfish on the menu almost every lunch and dinner!I recommend this trip to everyone.Tony

Beautiful Islands, amazing realise, wonderful company. Coral Islands like no other. Each day on this small boat cruise, we had a choice of Cray potting, fishing, snoreling, or strolling along the coral beaches. The cruise was very relaxed, historically informative and has awesome sunsets. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The chef prepared a smorgasbord of delicious dishes each meal. The Abrolhos Islands are a rare gem unspoilt visitors.

The terrific Eco Abrolhos team gave us an active, adventurous and very rewarding holiday.They shared Abrolhos history and environmental information to make every stop in the huge spread (over 122 islands), a special event.We could not have seen the Abrolhos Islands in such depth without their guidance through the coral reefs.There was something happening all the time, without being overwhelming. You choose your activity and the team takes care of you. The food, fishing and new friendships were fabulous.This is absolutely the best kind of holiday for us.

This is no ordinary coral islands experience. Extraordinary fishing, crayfishing, snorkelling in total comfort The terrific Eco Abrolhos Cruises team gave us an active, adventurous and very rewarding holiday. They shared Abrolhos history and environmental information to make every stop in the huge spread (over 122 islands), a special event. The skipper navigated the Abrolhos Islands coral reefs with expertise and located the best fishing and snorkelling spots from his vast knowledge as a previous rock lobster fisherman.

Abrolhos Islands are an undiscovered wonderland for both young and old who enjoy boats, snorkeling, fishing, history of the Batavia and fun activities. The Cox family (and their boat the Eco Abrolhos) made our six night stay a time to remember. Even with some strong winds on the first couple of days, there are plenty of spots to shelter and activities to do. The staff onboard the boat are highly attentive and helpful. Having an 18m tender boat along side the big Eco Abrolhos allows the exploring of the islands to be done safely and in comfort. March/April would be ideal timing.

It was a fantastic trip, everything was planned and executed to perfection! The staff was very friendly and helpful all the time. Food was excellent and plentiful. We had lunch and dinner like in a 3 Michelin Star restaurant. Jay our skipper organised everything with perfection. His great knowledge and experience of the Abrolhos and the history was very entertaining!Thanks very much for this once in a lifetime trip.

A great 6 nights on the Eco Abrolhos. It’s a privilege to have Jay and Bronson share their knowledge and backyard with us. Stunning corals, fish and sea life along with great fishing, crays plus some wonderful insights into life and death (shipwrecks) on the Abrolhos. No hesitation to recommend.
