- The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

What travellers are saying
- Cassie B2 contributionsWe had the best time. The reefs we vistited were great with loads of fish and coral, lunch was great, the boat felt nice and spacious. We came away buzzing.Review of: Silversonic Outer Great Barrier Reef Dive and Snorkel Cruise from Port DouglasWritten 28 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jellybellymellySingapore, Singapore1,020 contributionsPicked this tour as it was a smaller group. We were picked up at our hotel early at 7am and started our day. Stopped at Port Douglas before heading on to Mossman Gorge, where we had morning tea and a short guided walk. Some people went for a dip. Had a good lunch where the owner explained all sorts of tropical fruits (which were served) to us. Went on a cruise on the daintree river and only spotted a baby crocodile. Cape Tribulation was the last stop - did a short walk and took some pictures at the beach, before stopping at an ice cream shop with delicious ice cream. We had a very knowledgeable guide - can't remember his name but he was a 4th/5th(?) generation Aboriginal. Had an enjoyable trip.Review of: Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree Rainforest Premium Day TourWritten 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steph HOakland, CA3 contributionsFantastic day! Our guide, Gary, was amazing -- super knowledgeable, fun sense of humor, and great taste in music (😜)! He and Tony's Tropical Tours are clearly passionate about the area and sharing that passion with their groups.

- mustang sallyMilwaukee, WI10 contributionsWe went on the all-day Calypso blue catamaran for diving and snorkeling out to Opal Reef on the GBR, northeast of Port Douglas. The boat crew were most friendly. Two of us dove and witnessed amazing corals and sea-life. You have the opportunity to do up to three senate dives if you wish. Our dive master Tim was great and he took good care of his underwater flock. Two of us snorkeled on the reef, at three different locations, and it was simply spectacular. Reminiscent in the abundance and variety of sea-life and corals like at Caneel Bay and Jamaica 30 years ago, this snorkeling surpasses both. Phoebe of Calpso gave the passengers a highly informative presentation on the local sea-like, corals and origin of the GBR. We highly recommend this tour if you really want to see the GBR close- up.Review of: Calypso Outer Great Barrier Reef Cruise from Port DouglasWritten 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alan A1 contributionWe were first time snorkellers, in our 60's. We couldn't have picked a better team to go with. Very safety conscious, helpful and friendly. Their knowledge of the reef and everything in it was wonderful. We will definately be doing it again and recommend it to anyone who is a bit unsure about doing it. You won't regret it. 😃Review of: Half Day Low Isles Snorkelling Tour from Port DouglasWritten 28 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert BGreater London, UK30 contributionsThis was a really good way to see the barrier reef - good for both beginners (like me) and for the more experienced snorkelers. The crew were great! They were really attentive, helpful and looked after the nervous (me) as well as the confident.
Lunch was good - plenty of it (we'd taken snacks but didn't need them).Review of: Great Barrier Reef Sailing and Snorkeling Cruise from Port DouglasWritten 12 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The speedboat ride out to the Low Isles is fast and fun, with a nice touch of using a glass bottom boat to bring you to shore. You have ample time to snorkel on this tour, with plenty of sealife to see.Review of: Option A: 2 1/4 hour Low Isles Reef Sprinter Snorkelling TourWritten 24 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan LSolihull, UK98 contributionsMy husband and I and our 2 friends booked the Wave dancer trip in the uk before our trip to Australia, we were so glad we did. The day was amazing from start to finish. From the moment we boarded the catamaran we were given very thorough safety instructions and loads of information on marine life and snorkelling. When we arrived at the beautiful Low isles we were quickly shuttled across to the island and given first class equipment. The guided snorkelling trip was great and we felt very safe at all times. When we got back on the catamaran at lunchtime there was a fabulous buffet waiting for us comprising of king prawns, chicken, beef and an array of delicious salads followed by fresh fruit and later cheese and biscuits
We couldn’t have asked for more, then on the return journey we were serenaded by this lovely man with a glass of bubbly to round off an amazing day, I didn’t get any of your names but all the crew were brilliant and super friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend this trip it was first class.Review of: Wavedancer Low Isles Great Barrier Reef Sailing Cruise from Port DouglasWritten 12 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Crew on the boat were fantastic, very informative, friendly, made the whole experience a fabulous day out in perfect weather. Safety was absolutely paramount throughout the day. Oh not forgetting the buffet lunch provided, huge amount of food and snacks throughout the day.Review of: Outer Barrier Reef Sailing and Snorkeling Adventure from Port DouglasWritten 22 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
