Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a great Tour today with Captain Dan and Eddy! Fish were jumping on the hooks but when they stopped they’d move over to a new site and it would start again.
Great breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack too! Just a great day all round, really enjoyed it.
Thanks guys!

From booking stage to walking back off the dock with bags full of fish, This dedicated family will give you a charter like none other!!
The wweather was a bit so so, but this CAT Hull rounded up the other boats in the first 20mins that left the harbour and allowed us to go alot further than the common charter boats and have lines down ultra quick, The Twin Hull cut through the water like no other and is the only way we would fish the reef again. Not one person was ill and makes for a great family experience not only for fishing but snorkelling, and day tripping.
We have been on many of charters in the area across the past 5 years, But they area leaps and bounds infront of everyone on quality service and making sure the small things are included (even a wipe towel and water buckets for your hands)
Fantastic Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea with a great source of knowledge to share with us on species, growth rates and caring for the environment to make sure there is fish out there for everyone!!!
If your going to Cairns and love supporting local families that put everything into there company Reef Runner Charters is the one for you!!

We went for a girls day trip with Reef Runner Charters for a friends birthday and had the most magical day! Everything about our day was perfect! Lucy and Dan are amazing, they really made our day so special. We went fishing in the morning and snorkelling afterwards, both were so much fun! I am still on a high days after our day on the water with these guys. I will be highly recommending Reef Runner Charters to all my friends and family! And I will definitely be booking another trip with these guys again in the future!

It was my birthday today. I have had the time of my life with my girlfriends on the Great Barrier Reef with this amazing local family run business. We caught fish, we ate well, we laughed, we swam. My heart is full and I am so grateful for this experience. Thank you to Dan and Lucy for making life grand with your knowledge and hospitality.

We had a fantastic time with Dan, Logan and Kale. Michaelmas cay where we stopped to snorkel was truly out of this world! Our novice fishing friend had an adrenalin pumping time as she reeled up fish, (more than an envious me). It was an amazing day! I would highly recommend this experience!

Just want to give a huge rap to the skipper & deckie for the charter I went on with 6 others on the 18-2-2022.
1) Reef Runner is a beautiful 30 ft cat & its quick so you get to the fishing grounds fast.
2) Skipper had a great knowledge of the area we were fishing.
3) If the fish weren't playing the game we quickly moved on to maximise our chances of catching fish.
4) All caught fish that we were keeping were killed humanely & quickly bled & gutted & into the esky.
5) The spread they lay on will never leave you hungry.
I've been on 3 charter's with Reef Runner now & they have always tried their best to produce the goods. I would highly recommend them to any visiting fisho to jump onboard & have a great day. I did
