This experience was incredible. Quicksilver run a very smooth and organised operation regarding the transfers and logistics. Then there's snorkelling on the reef itself which felt safe and magical that first time you look under the water. I did the guided tour with Hayley who was amazing, extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable as a first time snorkelling. If I could've went back again the next day I would've. Can't wait to go again in the future!

Awful - left me out of pocket and so disappointed

Alison_F, May 2021

I turned up an hour and a half early to palm cove And the bus had already left. No one called my phone number and spent $120 on an Uber to get to palm cove . I then couldn’t get on any other outings for the day And was devastated I was so looking forward to going and had one spare day.

Beautiful play sweet beautiful people

I'm the first time to play diving. It's really my unforgettable experience. As the location is quite far away and only have limited time, we can only play max 2 activities. Finally I played Ocean Walk and Scuba Diving. As I'm the first time to play, instructor is very friendly and bring me to see great barrier reef and super big fish can be touchable.
