Traveler Reviews

The staff were excellent, it shows they enjoy their job, very friendly and helpful. The dive and snorkel areas we went to were great but wished we saw a bit more variety but that’s nature. The fish life was in abundance. Food supplied was excellent.

Awsome day out on the reef. Great staff. Good food. Totally recommend it. Will be booking in to do it again next year it was that good

Great day out, we have done a number of reef tours and can highly recommend these guys. Staff were fantastic, comfortable boat, great food and plenty of it.

An amazing day out with the crew from Quicksilver. The overall package and value is exceptional which I would recommend to everyone. Snorkel sites were perfect with coral, fish, turtles and sharks all sited. Very knowledgeable and fun team who were engaging.

The trip itself was great and the dive guides were fantastic. Tammi and Addi really made a nervous diver feel completely comfortable in the water and I'm so grateful for it. There was a snorkel tour too and the staff pointed out things I would have missed on my own (like a lion fish!) The dive sites were beautiful and the equipment was top quality. No leaky masks here! The only downside (which is beyond their control) is that it is a long day of sea sickness if you are prone to motion sickness. This boat is a catamaran AKA a vomit comet. The reef is WELL worth a bit of sea sickness but make sure you take sea sickness pills. Beware when booking as the company have a high minimum number and will cancel on you if they don't meet it, no matter how inconvenient this is for you.
