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.

After expecting great things from this remote site, I found the visibility poor at 15m or less over 6 dives in two days. This followed three weeks of great weather, so it should have been way better.
Fish life and corals etc were no better than many places I have dived around the world. In fact, I thought the fish, plants and corals were mostly minimal. I actually cancelled my third day of diving as it simply wasn't worth it.

What a really great experience and day. My wife went snorkeling for the first time and we both encountered our first helicopter flight over the reef. A truly remarkable experience. The whole day was made great by the friendly staff on board our vessel and whilst we were on the pontoon.

Finally got one of my dream things todo Snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef best thing Iv'e done for ages my partner loved the different sizes of fish and colours was wicked the cruise company Quick Silver highly recommend them morning tea ,big lunch and afternoon snacks plus snorkeling until they sound the horn plus the glass bottom boat also you can dive but that's extra same as the Helicopter ride, they also have the diving helmets that you put on and go under water on the platform for none swimmers while they are standing on the platform they feed the fish. They put food on the helmets and the fish eat of the helmets. IT'S a full day but worth it

Trip to outer reef was enjoyable and Quicksilver food was great. But the Quicksilver team uniform and pontoon are in need to work to restore the standards of the early 2000's

Visited this reef with Calypso Reef Cruises and it was a spectacular location to snorkel. The coral looked sensatinal and plenty of fish to see. Also saw a turtle and a shark.

We took our 2 year old along and she loved it! She was fine on the trip out and back, and loved seeing the fish feeding, riding on the semi submersible - she loved looking out at the coral and all the fish! So yes, I'd happily take her again!

Hi, I'm considering a visit to Agincourt Reef and have a couple of questions , if you wouldn't mind answering. Did you have to take towels or are they provided, was food provided as part of the cost? Thanks in advance, Tom.

We took Quicksilver to the reef. I believe we brought our own towel, but anything else you would need was provided. The transport on their charter bus from our resort to the port was included. Tea and biscuits were offered upon boarding in the morning. They offered anti-sea sickness medication at this time as well, if needed, for a small fee. Lunch was included, and served buffet style at the reef. There is also a photographer on hand, and you can buy your pictures at the end of the day if you want.

Not sure of current prices but, should you be faced with a choice, we much preferred the Low Isles to Agincourt Reef. Both good but Low Isles was excellent.

I sailed out of port Douglass on a large ship Poseidon.
Stunning ship great journey fab views.
I hired the equipment on board a diver suit with mask and snorkel.
Its not expensive. You do not have to use the suit but id advise it because of jellyfish, it only takes one to spoil your journey!
I chose a helicopter flight back and sat next to the pilot! Who is now in my family album. Stunning views and a must ..... do.
Enjoy your trip as i intend to return from the uk.
Im in Whitby the east cost of Yorkshire England 05.11.16 today visiting the history of captain cook who set sail and discovered Australia, new Zealand, Hawaii.
Good luck

I am deciding on which reef to choose. I am a non-swimmer but I want to do a helmet dive and am interested to know which are the most colourful reefs and probably where I have better chances of seeing some sea turtles! ;)

Agincourt Reef! Go with Quick Silver cruise, they will definitely look into your interest. I saw a sea turtle and more when I visited recently.
