Things to do in Great Barrier Reef

Our second time out with Quicksilver and can't fault the staff and the day on the reef, a must do experience.

The atmosphere on the boat was great, and everything was well-organized, so if you just follow along, you'll have a fantastic time. The helicopter tour was also well worth the money and a wonderful experience. Even if you can't swim, you can still snorkel!

They had a young, vibrant and helpful team to guide you in snorkelling. You just have to be at least fit and healthy to attend. The experience was awesome and the crew and team really takes good care of you. Swimmer or non-swimmers will probably be better to get a float during the snorkelling experience. For those who haven snorkel before, the sea water is really salty but the underwater coral views are amazing!!! Maximum pax to join will be around 30 to max 40. Snacks and sea sick pills are available on board and you can pay them when you alight at the end of the trip. Super highly recommended to join this experience.

Wonderful experience! Well ogranized for over 100 passsengers, from safety, seating, equipment to lunch and afternoon tea. Great for our first time snorkelling, and staff were friendly. unfortunately, the helicopter was cancelled due to the weather but everything else was good. Even though we got really seasick (although we took tablets), it was totally worth it!

Amazing and eye opening experience even if you do not wish to participate in diving or snorkeling. We had great visibility and managed to see lots of fishes and corals while on the semi submersible and the glass bottom boat.

The coaches on the boat were all very friendly, attentive, and fun! The Great Barrier Reef is truly beautiful, but the helicopter tour was canceled due to strong winds. The waves were also very high, to the point where it was hard to stand steady, so remember to take motion sickness pills!

Being able to lie on the boat, on the deck all day! Listening to music, enjoying delicious food, relaxing on the boat, and also snorkeling on a beautiful island where we saw sea turtles! Most importantly, our guides Claudia and Natalia kept everyone's spirits high throughout the entire trip!

The scenic flight was the best choice for this tour. We traveled from Sydney for it, and it was the best hour. It's truly so beautiful. The boat tour was also long, and the route was enjoyable. However, we did the boat tour on a cloudy day, so the views for snorkeling and the walking trail were a bit disappointing. If it's raining or cloudy on your booked date, I recommend quickly changing your reservation date two days in advance. We had requested a date change in advance because we thought the scenic flight tour would be difficult due to strong winds and rain, but we received no response. Ultimately, we were notified on the day of the tour that the scenic flight was canceled. However, we were surprised to be told that neither a schedule change nor a refund was possible. I definitely recommend doing this on a clear day. Somehow, we managed to do both, and the tour was truly excellent. After the tour, if you relax on a mat or swim at Airlie Beach and then have dinner and drinks at a beachside bar, you'll have an absolutely perfect day.
