Amazing day and experience with Reef Sprinter - An amazing day on the boat and in the water snorkeling. The skipper of the boat Matt was a highlight as his commentary and willingness to help us was fantastic as was his assistant Georgia. If in Port Douglas this is a must do as the whole experience was something to remember

Fantastic way to see the reef without going out all day - Can’t recommend this enough. Jason was an expert boat skipper and so knowledgeable about the reef and the island. We loved snorkelling with really clear water and there was so much marine life including turtles and even a reef shark.

Perfect, efficient trip to the Reef - Such an efficient and fun way to see the reef. Matt and Georgie were excellent and relaxed guides who were great at detailing points of interest both in the water and on land. The sea life was great (a turtle, loads of black tipped reef sharks, tropical fish, clams etc) and the snorkelling suitable for all ages and abilities. The island tour was way more interesting than anticipated and the boat trip was so easy. Not a hint of seasickness from me and I am the weak link!

Amazing morning on the reef sprinter - We had a fantastic morning with Matt and the crew on one of the reef sprinter boats. The crew were super knowledgeable and we saw so many turtles. The island was beautiful too.

Matt was outstanding - Matt was absolutely amazing... The time that he took to explain from safety to everything we saw... He was full of knowledge. Took the extra time to take my husband, myself and 1 other lady with the glass bottom boat as we didn't want to snorkel ... It was simply amazing and a lot more affordable compared to the cruise excursions that we felt were waste of money on the previous day.

Excellent Tour - After experiencing a very disappointing tour from Airlie Beach, we were delighted with this particular tour. The journey out to the reef was fun on the fast boat, and it only took about 15 minutes. The snorkelling was good and I saw 2 sharks 😊 I also enjoyed the short walk around the isle with the interesting information given about the background about the island, and of the reef. The 2 young people who escorted us were excellent and looked after us well.

A brilliant trip ! - We had a brilliant afternoon snorkelling from Low Island after a fast and exhilarating ride on a speed boat to get there. Everything was provided and staff went out of their way to ensure everyone felt confident and knew what to do. Didn’t get to see the turtle I hoped for but saw hundreds of amazing fish and beautiful corals.

Fast, Fun, Fantastic - Absolutely amazing. The speed boat trip was so much fun and guides knew their stuff and entertained. We went after some really heavy wet weather that caused run off into the reef, but the snorkeling was still excellent and worth every cent. Will do again.
