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.

    This snorkeling day out was simply the best. The clarity of the water and marine life, friendliness and knowledge of the staff, 3 snorkel sites all unique. Best marine photos ever! I will identify that black fish with white spots eventually :D

    2 self-guided tours over 2 days. So much fun. Great bikes - pedal power mountain bikes one day and e-mountain bikes the next. Digital map and plb included. Really helpful staff. Fabulous scenery, river crossings. Even the rain on the second day added to the fun with a lot of mud. I’d recommend having some mountain biking experience.

    Such an amazing experience, led by a friendly, Knowledgable & hospitable crew! I was a first time snorkeler and not a strong swimmer, but the crew were great and it was easy to pick up! It was a little choppy on the day and so a couple of us did get sea sick, but they were well prepared to help. Would definitely recommend!

    Honestly the best experience we have ever had. From the start where we stuffed up our ticket dates, they just made it work as in there words "We don't want to put you out at all, the kids look excited" even though it was our fault.
    Each and ever crew member was chatty, informative and interactive with everyone on board. No question seemed to be an inconvenience for them. Our kids range from 7 - 18 and all of them loved it as a first time experience.

    The small size of the tour group was what attracted us to this activity. Once we arrived we were greeted with friendly, knowledgeable staff and a great atmosphere. Great stories, great local food and the best snorkelling experience on the outer area of The Great Barrier Reef. Highly recommended.

    It was a fantastic half day on the reef. The boat was efficient, the captain and guide was professional and full of information. The reef was brilliant. Our 12 year old daughter did not take a break from snorkelling for all the offered snorkelling time - 1.5 hours. Highly recommend #reefsprinter.

    Absolutely brilliant day! Plenty of space on the boat and pontoon. Quite choppy conditions and the crew could not have been nicer or more helpful.
    Snorkelling was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed the semi-submersible boat. The talk by the marine biologist on the way out was fantastic.
    Our son is Type 1 diabetic and we coukd not have felt more looked after and safe by every crew member we spoke to. Lifeguards were amazing, crew members put food aside for him to have when it was convenient around exercise and levels rather than a timed slot to eat and care given to him when ge wasn't feeling well.
    This is the third reef trip I have been on but the first time I have been with Quicksilver and if I ever have a fourth trip it will be with them - no hesitation. This crew go the extra mile- they even rescued my husbands hat when it blew off (even though he had been warned to hold onto it!) as it was a very sentimental one! Can't thank them enough.

    My 13 year old son and I completed our Open Water Dive Course with Jess from Blue Dive. She was amazing, helping us through the skills exercises and guiding us round some incredible coral reef. We did a pool session followed by 6 dives over 2 days, during which we were lucky enough to see a Grey Reef Whaler Shark, Octopus, Lionfish, Wrasse, postcard perfect Clown Fish and so many others. The staff at Blue Dive were knowledgable, friendly and very professional. Would definitely recommend.

    Highly recommend this activity for singles, couples and families of all ages. It was fun and informative. The walking and floating and swimming are easy to manage towards the end of the dry season. It would be awesome if there were adult only tours. We (a couple in our mid 50s) ended up on a tour with 2 young families of 4 that slowed things down and made it a bit noisier than expected. Will and Josephine did their best to give us a private experience away from the families. Nonetheless, we wouldn't hesitate to do this again. Janie and Jim

    Highly recommended experience of the Great Barrier Reef! My partner and I opted for 2x Introductory Dives and a snorkel. All three excursions were professionally run and the staff were very accommodating of all skill levels. Loved the energy of the crew and special shoutout to our host Faye!
