Testimonial:

“Hornsby Girls High School , Year 9 PASS Elective had an amazing experience with ECOTREASURES. 17 students ( over half, of whom had very limited experience and skill in open water) experienced the beauty and thrill of participating in the Manly Snorkel Walk and Talk tour at Shelly Beach. All abilities were very professionally catered to and staff couldn’t have been more engaging or helpful. Hornsby Girls would definitely look at future excursions of this kind with this company.
