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.

Easily the best day out on the Reef, this was my third time and having gone with different companies one big(felt like an RSL) , one small sailing boat(not out far enough and visibility wasn't great). Anthony's Liquid Desire was just right. A rubber duckie following at a nice distance as we drift snorkelled along incredible coral shelves teaming with fish of every colour and species. The food was plentiful and delicious overall an amazing day could not recommend highly enough.

What a day my family will never forget. We had three adults and three kids (kids aged 7,7 & 6yrs old). None of us have had any experience on a catamaran or any sorta boat before and and we didn’t need to as everything we could think of was thought out and prepared for us.
Anthony and the crew totally looked after us from amazing food (Asian inspired menu) to Ari helping the kids with snorkelling around the reef.
One of our kids is a special needs child and we felt 100% safe out on the water with her and would recommend this for anyone else in the same circumstances. The crew supervised and kept a close eye on all of us while snorkelling around the reef, they really made easy work for some over protective parents.
So helpful & knowledgeable of the reef and to top it off there was a dog (Splash) which the kids all loved.
All up a 5 star day and would do it all again!
I’ll add we booked last minute as our original booking with a different company was canceled due to covid, Anthony and the team really came to the rescue and gave us a holiday to remember.

Anybody thinking of booking a boat trip for a day or several nights, support local and book with Anthony You will not be disappointed.
Anthony built his catamaran from the ground up his knowledge is vast and the boat has been built to top spec, plenty of space to relax on the deck and enjoy the views.
Snorkelling and stand up paddle boarding we’re so much fun we saw a lot of variety of coral, fish and turtles plus a dolphin chasing our boat.
Thanks to Alex for keeping us fed all day and the rest of the crew including splash the dog are beautiful people.
We were very lucky and had the best weather, calm waters and pure sunshine all day overall a Wonderful Christmas Day experience and we will be back to take a longer trip next time.

We had such a wonderful time on a private sunset cruise with Anthony and his crew on Liquid Desire back in November 2022 and would highly recommend for anybody looking for a special experience. The crew were so friendly and accommodating, the yacht was luxurious, the food was incredible, and the evening was amazing overall. Anthony and the team did a great job of ensuring my Husband's 50th birthday celebration was a memorable one.

Thank you Anthony and crew for a fantastic day out. Your hospitality and expertise was
Second to none. Will certainly recommend to all our friends and visitors. The fact that you customise your trips to suit the customers and the conditions of the day is quite extraordinary.

The kids had a blasts. Anthony and his beautiful dog Splash and his wonderful crew took such good care of us. The boat was so clean and comfortable. Anthony planned a great itinerary and knew how to cater for us despite an initial but short rough windy morning start. Absolutely loved it. Alex our chef- cooked us the most beautiful coral trout, potato, beef with salsa verde and salad. There was fresh pastry for morning tea then fruits and cakes for arvo tea. Kept our tummies full after a day of snorkelling, spotting turtles and SUP. Thanks again.

We went out on a 3 day trip to Mackay Cay and Opal Reef from Port Douglas. The whole trip was a continuous string of memorable experiences. Lying at the bow while sailing, enjoying the views as we past Snapper Island and the Daintree Coast, a private sunset on Mackay Cay, snorkelling at sites around Mackay Cay and the outer reef (Opal Reef), pulling in Giant Trevally and Spanish Mackerel to say a few. The boat is fantastic, perfectly comfortable with plenty of space while still being small enough to get to exclusive snorkelling sites. The bedrooms are located under hatches which allows you to see the stars as you go to sleep which was pretty magic. The crew are fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We felt like we were part of a friendship group on the boat rather than customers. They were also as keen to do some of the activities like snorkelling as we were which made the experiences feel shared and more special. Junlan was a great chef providing us with a variety of delicious food and freshly caught fish, and did a great job catering for one of us who is coeliac, which can be quite difficult. This is an experience of a lifetime that I can't recommend enough and is very good value. I am definitely tempted to come back again.

What a fantastic day on Board with Anthony and the team! We had hoped that it was going to be a memorable experience and we weren't disappointed.
Anthony hosted 4 adults and 4 kids aged between 8 and 6. Liquid Desire was totally suitable and equipped to safely accommodate us all.
We had many hours snorkelling and exploring the Low Isles. We were fortunate enough to see turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and loads of tropical fish.
We were also fed to within an inch of our lives.
The only downside for the whole day was the weather, but this was outside of Anthony's control.
I can't recommend a day out with Liquid Desire highly enough. Thanks Anthony, we will be back!

I would like to say a massive THANK YOU to Anthony, June & Alex, from Liquid Desire, who gave us the most memorable cruise on the Great Barrier Reef that we have ever had, and we have had many! The quality of the experience was second to none and they created an environment in which we could celebrate our marriage and that will forever live in our memories.
They were friendly, professional, fun, respectful, accomodating and went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed to make the trip as enjoyable as possible.
I also have to mention that the meal we had onboard was the best meal we have had on our entire holiday! The fact that this was prepared fresh on board with the limited facilities makes it that much more incredible. Eating such a feast whilst moored in the middle of what can only be described as paradise on earth, was a once in a lifetime experience. 🪸🐠🏝️🌞
We went for a snorkel over the most beautiful coral reef I have ever seen, encountered many gorgeous exotic fish and sea life, including a majestic turtle. We also left a memento in the reef that will remain there forever, our son lost his first tooth in the ocean whilst pulling his snorkel out! 🦷 Needles to say, the tooth fairy rewarded him with something extra special the next morning.
A big shout out to Splash, who has been recognised as the friendliest dog in Australia and who managed to win over Milan’s heart. In our son’s own words, “splash is the first big dog that I love”.
Our son also managed to catch his first fish ever and it was a beauty! He was assisted with such care and consideration and the fish was unhooked, given to him to him to hold for a photograph and then released back into the water. I know this is a trip that will give him happy feelings every time he thinks about it and that holds true for every one of us that was onboard, absolutely priceless!!!
I cannot recommend Liquid Desire enough!!!
