Quicksilver Cruises

Very well appointed and very large vessel (boat). The staff know what they are doing and with the kids who weren’t feeling well they took special care of them. The lunch was amazing!!! They have a post box on the reef to send card back home! I need to make a special mention on all the staff types and positions. They are very well staffed. I’ve been on other snorkeling trips and they had minimal interaction with clients etc. This crew went out of their way to interact with everyone. Ask about us. Help us. And make us the best trip ever. The marine Biologist info session made a big impact on us and helped make the time go by. The reef barge setup is top notch and even seen some limited mobility individuals have the time of their lives! Last but not least… I choose this company because they had good reviews. But I need to add to the others… this boat makes the travel easy and comfortable. Don’t get me wrong. Take some stomach sickness assistant pills. On our way back we past multiple other charter reef boats. Leaving them behind!

Even if the weather was not with us entirely, the day was a pure bliss. Went on board of the Wavedancer catamaran on route for the Low Isles day trip. The crew was amazing and very knowledgeable. The food on board was amazing and we had more than enough for a second serve. All equipment for a day snorkeling, with an amazing Marine biologist on board (Glen). He is taking you on a journey to discover and understand the area. So much to learn. The snorkeling was a bit blurry by the recent weather, but it is nature and we cannot do anything about it. The coral was still a pure bliss and all the fishes were very colourful. No turtle this time but again nature is always giving you what she can. Glen also took us on a tour of the island, showing us the lemon shark attacking the fishes along the beach, telling us about the beautiful story of the island and how it works with its 2 ile keepers. He also showed us the nest of the island bird and explained to us a bit about History and the discovery of the Great Barrier Reef. What an amazing story teller, and he has so many things to tell you. We finished with a complementary glass of bubble and afternoon tea on our way back. Will definitely come back when the weather is nicer and give us more visibility. But I 100 recommend this cruise ! From the pick up at the hotel, to the boarding pass, the boarding, the cruise and the return, it was an amazing day! Thank you guys!

We had such a good experience diving with Quicksilver. We had to change our dates last minute, but they still ensured we could dive. I had a tough time on one dive, but the dive master (Jeff) was really helpful with making sure I was safe and comfortable. The sites were beautiful, and they have good safety briefings before hand. Plenty of snacks and food, with a great amount of vegetarian options. The boat was clean and comfortable! The day absolutely flew by.

I took my son for his first experience of the Great Barrier Reef today with Quicksilver, and we weren’t disappointed! First of all the service was first class, the food at lunch was amazing and boat rode like a dream in the 20-25kts . If you get seasick, choose this boat for your reef experience. We went on a guided snorkel and Lucy our marine biologist and guide was unreal and was great in tough conditions. I even got the experience of seeing a ten foot tiger shark, but Lucy kept our group calm and there was no issues. Great experience and great service! Thanks Quicksilver for an awesome day!

Absolutely loved scuba diving with Maddy Cole! She was incredibly chill, relaxed, and kind, which instantly put us at ease during diving. At the same time, she was super professional, patient, careful, and meticulous, the perfect balance! Maddy made the whole experience feel so smooth and easy, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Thank you for making it unforgettable! 🌊💙

We did the Quicksilver reef cruise from Port Douglas and had an absolutely fantastic day! Everything was so well run, from the lady in the booking office who opened late as she knew we were coming to book, to all the staff on the boat who were exceptionally friendly and helpful, we couldn't recommend it highly enough. We got a lovely lunch on the boat and had lots of time on the reef to do all the activities offered. This was one of the highlights of our whole trip and we would definitely book with Quicksilver again. The staff were really wonderful, they were all so helpful with everything and seemed to really love their job- well done Quicksilver👏👏

We did the outer reef tour from Port Douglas and it was the most exceptional bucket list worthy day! Quicksilver team were super organised and efficient with the whole day, very impressed! Boat ride was smooth and we didn’t get sea sick at all. Lunch was delicious and the staff were friendly, especially the lifeguard from NZ. Would highly recommend!

Experience of a lifetime! Had the privilege of experiencing the Outer Reef Tour on the Quicksilver VIII with a 1 hour private snorkel on Tuesday 11/03. This was by far the most friendly and professional tour I’ve ever been part of. The vessel was an absolute unit! Extremely comfy, great aircon and all the amenities you could dream of. A special shout out to the Marine Biologists Tash & Heather for looking after me on the private snorkelling tour 😊 The buffet lunch at the pontoon was exceptional and nearly missed it (enjoying the water too much!). The passion, knowledge and ability to present all information was outstanding with safety always at the forefront. Thank you to the entire Quicksilver team for providing such a memorable and enjoyable experience

I had a great time on the Quicksliver "Supersonic" tour. They brought us to 3 different reef sights. The staff was pretty knowledgeable (Ask for Robbie) The boat was a good size and the food was surprisingly edible. The boat was much smaller than the single sight tour but the crew made up for it in enthusiasm and service. I would definitely recommend the supersonic over their other tours if you're ONLY SNORKELING. I guess 3-4 hrs at one sight could be a little boring if you're SNORKELING but if you're a scuba diver the other single sight tour could be a better match for you. The staff was very good about finding the people who were getting seasick and helping them feel more comfortable. (Dramamine and ice chips) Bring a jacket or sweater if the weather is under 21* Celsius, because it was pretty cold when going 20knots on the water. But don't take my word for it! Try it out!
