Suitable for any age - We enjoyed this experience, we’ve done the outer reef before having children which is also beautiful but we found this experience really suitable to take our one year old. The crew were great, nice food and the environment was nice and relaxed. We were a bit worried what it would be like out on the island but there were shaded areas and swimming in the shallows off the island was good for the little one.

Sunbathing, snorkeling, views - Beautiful islands with snorkeling option, the coral has been damaged by a huge storm, but the marine biologist show the best parts.

Low Isles Snorkelling - Amazing! Staff were fantastic, food was great, the catamaran was incredible & the snorkelling & Low Isles were absolutely breathtaking. Swam with massive turtles, saw reef sharks & the most beautiful coloured fish i could ever imagine seeing. We were all in total awe. To experience this with my family was so special.

Stunning Low Isles - Such a wonderful day - the crew were so friendly and knowledgeable, Heather the marine biologist was amazing to listen to and I even snorkeled with a sea turtle! Lunch was plentiful and delicious, and loved the relaxing sail home with a glass of bubbles and some tunes. It was a great way to enjoy this beautiful part of the country. Would absolutely come back and do it again.

Last minute cancellation - Unfortunately, while standing on the dock lined up for the 10/27 departure, (boarding at 9:30 departure at 10 am) our Low Isles tour was cancelled due to a vessel malfunction. Given the late hour of notification there was no alternative excursion alternatives to obtain. Our day at Port Douglas and the Great Barrier Reef was lost. It would seem to me that cruise set up vessel testing would take place long before boarding. Cancellation at such a late time really ruined the day. All ticket purchasers had to get back in line at the Quicksilver office and request a refund. Our trip of a lifetime, didn't result in a snorkel to the Great Barrier Reef. If the cancellation had taken place a couple of hours earlier perhaps guests could have found alternatives. I'm not sure why the wait till 15 minutes before departure.

Never Even Left Port - The boat broke down before we left. They took their time letting us know. We sat in the hot sun for 20 minutes after we were to board. They only offered a refund, no alternative activity. I do not recommend this company.
