We had a blast
The staff were amazing, my friend felt seasick and they were so attentive. The Snorkelling was amazing. Beautiful fish and coral. Lovely food and the semisub was very cool.
A lovely day tour to the Great Barrier Reef.
A lovely day tour to the Great Barrier Reef. Booking was easy and received the confirmation straight away, and the rewards points were deposited to my account immediately as well! The coach transfer in the morning was on time, and the morning tea, buffet lunch and afternoon tea were good. Snorkelling equipment was provided with helpful staff giving good instructions. And the fish feeding during snorkelling was fantastic, saw so many beautiful fish! The semi-submersible boat and underwater observatory were great too, corals are magnificent.

Great way to experience the Great Barrier Reef
Quicksilver staff very friendly and organised, slowed up and stopped to view whales on the way. Generous promotional offer saved $100 per person.

Excellent family friendly reef tour
We had a fantastic day with our kids aged 8 & 11 on the Quicksilver Great Barrier Reef Cruise to the pontoon! Despite the weather being quite windy with choppy waves, the experience exceeded our expectations. The tour was very well organised from start to finish, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. Our kids had an amazing time, and we really appreciated that the stinger suits and snorkelling equipment were all included. The buffet lunch was delicious with plenty of options for everyone. The highlight of the day was seeing so much beautiful coral and colourful fish, and we were even lucky enough to spot a turtle! It was an unforgettable experience, and we'd highly recommend Quicksilver to anyone visiting Port Douglas and wanting to experience the Great Barrier Reef.
