The quickest way to got to the reef. 15 minutes and you are there! An exciting speed boat ride and you are there to enjoy snorkelling the reef. This is a great half day trip.

15 minutes out to reef. 90minutes snorkeling. No seasickness. Saw lovely coral, amazing fish even a small shark. Was better than sending extra time in slower boats.

My second trip out to the reef having been on Quicksilver tours before. I personally much preferred the Reef Sprinter. Very fast getting out to the snorkelling location. Fun as well! 1.5 hours snorkelling in amazing reef with turtles and an abundance of fish to see. Swift return to the marina. Easily planned into a packed day schedule. Good value!

16mins from the Marina to the reef... Wow what an experience. Fastest way to the reef. 90 minutes on the reef and some great snorkelling. Staff were fun with the ride back (spins) fantastic. Would highly recommend if you want to do the reef but pressed for time.

We only had a few days in Port and did not want to spend a whole day on the reef so this was perfect. Super quick (and fun) trip to the Low Isles. Thoroughly enjoyed the snorkelling even in pretty ordinary weather. Saw some beautiful coral and amazing fish. Staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. The underwater camera hire worked...

We had originally planned to go on a full days excursion to the Great Barrier Reef but because of the Easter break these were all fully booked. The reef sprinter was the only available option and in hindsight this was perfect. It is significantly cheaper than others ( half the price) and does not take up a full day. The... More

My husband and I have snorkled in places such as Hawaii and the Whitsundays and we really enjoyed the snorkling. I use a walking stick for mobility and the staff we really helpful, its an enjoyable fast boat ride and with a half a day trip it was more manageable for me. Thanks again, we really enjoyed the trip and... More

This is an excellent trip. You get to the Low Isles in 15 minutes and it is an exciting trip. My partner sometimes gets sea sick and she forgot to take a tablet but there was no real problem on this boat, because if it does hit a wave, the motion is fast rather than the slow-moving undulation of the...

Trip to the Low Isles only takes about 15minutes on more of a Jet boat, so no time to feel motion sickness if you are prone to it. More time to just get in the water and snorkel. If you want more travelling time to the outer reef (takes about 90mins), then you need to do a day trip on... More
