Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

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
- NewYorkStateOfMindNew York City, NY30 contributionsA million thanks to dive masters Jonathan and Faye, who patiently guided me past my nervousness ( I hadn't dived in more than a decade) and ensured I enjoyed multiple dives for the trip of a lifetime. Their caring expertise and hard work was remarkable and so very much appreciated by myself and other drivers of varying ages who signed up for introductory dives as a refresher. The whole staff (especially Jonathan, Faye and Ava) were warm, friendly, engaging and safety conscious. The food was excellent too! Truly unforgettable experience.!Written 5 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rod HCalgary, Canada61 contributionsThe Quicksilver folks are very well organized. They take about 200 people out to their permanent platform on the outer barrier reef. They’re well organized in getting all those people their Lycra suits, masks, snorkels, fins.
The platform has a great way to get people into the water. After getting into your Lycra suit, you go sit on a bench that is already submerged in water, so your legs are submerged. The staff assist you in donning your fins, mask, snorkel and you can then just lean forward and swim off the platform. Very slick.
Ample food and beverages were provided for the passengers. The information and safety briefings were all good. There are lifeguards in the water and on the platform watching all the snorkelers. They seemed to have a genuine interest in keeping everyone safe.
What about the quality of the snorkeling? After all, that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? The platform is located near a large outcropping of coral. I’m a very experienced snorkeller, and I found that the further I got from the boat/platform, the better the quality of coral and fish. It was still pretty good on the edges of the coral closest to the boat, but it was exceptional as I got further away. At one point I was gliding along comfortably with 3 feet of water between me and the coral, and one of the staff asked me to move to deeper water. I wasn’t even coming close to touching the coral, so was a bit miffed at that, but nevertheless complied with his request.
The trip out and back is 90-120 minutes each way, so this is an all-day excursion. The boat is a big catamaran and relatively stable, but we had relatively calm seas.
All in all, I was extremely pleased with the day, as were my 2 friends. I would definitely recommend Quicksilver. We also did a 2nd trip with a smaller outfit (Sailaway) that took about 40-50 people out, and that too was an exceptional experience.Written 14 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide, Randall, made the trip memorable with his narration and stories. Many adventures, experiences, and food were really fun.

- Fearless453078284712 contributionsExtraordinary tour to Mossman Gorge and the Daintree Forest. Ben our guide was excellent and incredibly knowledgeable giving us unique insights into the forest and the area. Our grandkids were captivated - and loved the half day experience. Thoroughly enjoyable and a must do on any holiday to Port Douglas.Written 14 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bjsurreysurrey10 contributionsThe tour exceeded our expectations. Kim was very knowledgeable and entertaining as a guide. Walking in the forest, seeing crocodiles and learning about North Queensland and its wildlife has been a highlight of our trip here. Swimming in a croc free creek, walking on the beach at cape tribulation and through the forest were experiences that will be lodged in our memories forever. Highly recommend this tour.Written 14 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kellie M1 contributionAllister is an accomodating, kind and informative guide who gives a unique experience of the Daintree with access to a creek and waterfall via his friends private property. He was also excellent relating and communicating to children and foreigners.Written 4 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gary C17 contributionsThe Train up to Kuranda (and make sure you go to the Heritage Market there, allow 2 hours there and have Lunch) was fantastic. Do Gold Class it makes for a really special Trip and a wonderful and relaxing and comfortable way to see the region and that amazing waterfall (2 of). We loved this way more than the Cable Cars back but doing both is the way to go, Train first.Written 13 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Really enjoyed the breakfast, lunch and everything in between. Safe to say we stayed full the whole day! Lots of little places to purchase things if you wish. Highly recommend!Written 4 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ciara McGrath14 contributionsI had an incredible day on the Beauty Valley Waterfall tour. Allister was an amazing tour guide and was so knowledgeable and passionate about the rainforest and the locality. It was a really interesting adventure, set in the heart of the rainforest, completely off the grid.
The hike was really beautiful and enjoyable, with breathtaking scenery throughout. Allister showed us lots of native plants and animals, enriching the experience with his insights. The highlight of the day was the refreshing swim in the waterfall – it was absolutely memorable.
The lunch we received was also delicious. Overall, it was a great guide, scenery, and adventure. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the rainforest!Written 30 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
