First class trip to the Barrier Reef - This excursion was very well organized and offered a variety of options for the day. We regretted not coming prepared to snorkel. A previous bad experience had made us wary, but Quicksilver had such complete arrangements that we could have been comfortable doing it. We took the glass-bottomed boat, which was remarkable. The staff on the boat were personable and knowledgeable and the lunch was delicious!

By far our best Snorkeling Adventure - Our last trip was to Port Douglas, and we went out to the outer great barrier reef, it was such a perfect clear day., visibility was amazing and this is what I expect to see in the great barrier reef all the fish and reef itself was spectacular, since it takes a while to get there you arrive around 11:30 lunch starts at 12 you get about an hour to hour and a half of snorkeling and then you’re ready to head back but I did find it sufficient amount of time we were snorkeling all over the area, and was exhausted by then, we also did the submarine tour first then lunch which was really good, then finally we did all the snorkeling, it was a large boat that docked on a floating platform, it made it easier to get in and out of the water, I would highly recommend this trip, it was the best snorkeling we have ever done

Snorkling in a Great Barrier Reef - Snorkling in a Great Barrier Reef is unforgatable. Organisation of this cruise is perfect. All staff is professional, helpful and nice. Thanks to all!

Once in a Lifetime Experience - Booked as a cruise excursion. Tendering in from ship to harbor and catamaran to Activity Platform and back made for a long day but four hours on the reef were well worth it. Quicksilver catamaran was very comfortable and fast. Activity Platform had something for everyone with areas for relaxing, eating, equipment, scuba, snorkeling, submersible, and helicopter rides. The snorkel area was easy to enter and exit, fairly deep except at the far edges which limited viewing of coral and marine life. A turtle did pass right through the area. The submersible was better for exploring and viewing the reef and fish. Lunch was fine given the location and conditions. Four hours went by way too fast. I also need to thank the life guard who was able to find and retrieve my iPhone that had broken free when I exited the snorkel area. Offered him a reward but he declined. First class operation from start to finish. Bonzer.

Great Day Out! - The Marine Biologist was really informative and interesting. The submersible was clear and the guide pointed out everything to see along with interesting facts about what we were seeing. The whoke experience was well organized and seemless. Great experience, including the heli ride home!

Would go again! - A fantastic experience! This is one of the better tours we have been to the reef. Experienced staff members were everywhere. Safe for family ; the boat was large and spacious. There were activities for everyone.

The fabulous GBR - Fabulous day out on the reef! Everything was wonderful! Great hospitality on board, fantastic lunch and awesome reef experience! A fantastic day out with the family!

Worth the money indeed - It is amazing experience worth the money. The platform in the reef feels a little too touristy but on the other hand if you are not a pro or for a family it is very convenient as it has tables to sit for lunch and showers . The crew is super helpful. We loved our day snorkeling at the reef

Emma was an awesome scuba guide on our perfect day on Silversonic - We had a fantastic experience on the Silversonic on April 2nd. This is a perfect size boat for a day of adventure, whether snorkeling or scuba diving. The staff were very attentive and quite efficient in their work. We were impressed by Emma, our dive master. She made sure that each of her 7 divers were perfectly equipped and having a great experience. We Stopped at 3 reefs. Each of those providing a slightly different underwater vista. Saw reef sharks, lots of interesting fish and colorful corals. We had originally signed up for 2 dives and were given the option to buy a third dive for a nominal fee. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. Coffee and tea are provided at the start of the day and throughout. The bar is available for a cold beverage to purchase at the end of a full day of diving or snorkeling.

A fun day - Visiting the reef is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Especially seeing the coral and fish from the semi-submersible. I did find a swimming with flippers(fins) quite clumsy but Matt was super helpful and encouraging
