Low Isles Wavedancer Trip is great for people who just want to snorkel. The guided snorkelling is ok but a bit rushed. We saw a lot more when we just took our time on our own. more

Smooth ride, well maintained boat. As it is whale season they've stopped a couple times on the way to the outer reef to make sure we also get the whale sights. Very well managed, very friendly and helpful staff. What I found uncomfortable is crowds (imagine what it must be like during Australian holiday season!) and it was 'only' 200... more

I had a great time on the Quiksilver Outer Barrier Reef cruise. Definitely there were some small problems as far as the boat being crowded, not enough change rooms but I think all things considered the Quiksilver people have done a great job and the Agincourt Reefs are truly spectacular. We have been to see the reefs at Green Island,... more

Without tripadvisor and forums such as these I wouldn't have been armed with the knowledge I had prior to our family outing on Quicksilver. As previous correspondents have said, it can degenerate into a free for all and I think after listening to reports such as the ones previous to this, Quicksilver seem to be trying to get it right..... more

We went on the reef with Quicksilver because we wanted to try snorkeling even though we had not swum in the sea for 20 years. The Quicksilver marketing seemed to be saying they have lots of staff and would make it easy for you even if you had no experience. The hydrofoil they use is marvellous. A very smooth ride... more

It was well managed; got the sense it was a "small business" in the way they handled matters, and that is a compliment. One complaint is that the boat was packed with 400 people which made moving about a bit tough. Still, they handled everything well. I was also impressed with their emphasis on safety, which was top-notch. Only other... more

The Quicksilver Outer Reef Tour is an unforgettable experience. You are shuttled to the outer reef by an amazing ship that is clean and comfortable. Beverages are provided on the trip out. Once you arrive at the outer reef platform there are various activities to choose from, including snorkeling, tours of the reef in a semi submersible, fish feeding, and... more

My fiance and I took the Low Isles snorkelling tour on August 7th 2005. It was a day we will never forget! The Quicksilver bus picked us up from our hotel in Port Douglas and took us to the marina mirage where the catamaran was waiting for us. We departed early in the morning and had a nice sail out... more

The Low Isles are two small islands that are very close to Port Douglas but it takes about 1.5 hours to get there because the ship is a sailing catamaran (wind power when possible) so it doesn’t go as fast as some other catamarans do but it’s a very enjoyable sail out to the isles. We went in May 2005... more
