Best trip in Port Douglas! - A brilliant 4hrs from start to finish. Super friendly staff, quality equipment throughout. Speed boat ride great experience. Snorkeling on the outer reef was amazing. Still can't believe the colours of the fish and coral! 100% worth the money.

Best Port Douglas Reef Specialists - Karen, Matt and Georgie were absolutely brilliant, Great ride out to the reef and wanted to stay out all day. On the way back followed a pod of dolphins what a way to end a fantastic trip

Awesome outer reef experience - We had a wonderful experience on the outer reef. We saw a white tipped reef, sharks, and more than 100 species of fish on this trip. The boat is fast which helps with any kind of seasickness. The amount of time we snorkel was the appropriate amount of time for a half day trip. This is the only snorkeling company that does half-day reef trips. You were at the outer reef in 45 minutes from boarding the boat. Matthew did exceptional job as the boat driver, providing safety guidance and providing snorkeling instructions prior to entering both of the snorkeling spots my friends, and I had a blast and we would do it again with the reef sprinter organization. This is the second time I’ve used them in 10 years and they’re terrific

Great way to see the reef - Loved the tour! Half day was perfect for our needs as we didn’t have a lot of days, we saw the reef early in the morning before all the tours arrived, the reef was amazing, with the most amazing fishes and sea creatures. Totally recommend it!

Fantastic tour operator and great location - We were travelling on Celebrity Edge and selected this private tour to experience snorkelling off Port Douglas. The office is located in the marina and the sprinter boat leaves from the marina. Close to tender drop off and pick up. Kate was extremely helpful from enquire to tour. Matt was our guide and was knowledgeable and helpful. We had a tight timeframe to get back to our tender and Reef Sprinter had no problem with this. Highly recommend Reef Sprinter

Would highly recommend - This was really great. Having been to the reef before and gotten very sick on the way out, we were keen to try this which was promoted as being very good for those who get sea sick. And it was! Both my husband and I, and our two kids (8 and 11) were absolutely fine on both journeys. The actual snorkelling was fantastic as well. They had prescription goggles for my daughter (bonus), and made sure we were all fitted properly with masks, flippers etc. would highly recommend!
