4.00A great experience, with knowledgable & friendly guides. Equipment was modern and easy to use. Guides gave clear directions and we were able to see Turtles, colourful fish and coral and a visit from some black tip sharks. Enjoyed 1.15hrs in the water. A great experience.
This Reef Sprinter excursion was one of the main highlights of our trip.

5.00Was a fantastic experience. Tour guide was great, very knowledgeable. Took us to the best spot for viewing without much wind. We were there in under 15 min, and everyone loved the snorkelling. Definitely recommend.
The best way to see the reef

5.00This was absolutely fabulous. Wonderful staff who are knowledgable, easy going, have a great sense of humour and care that you have the best possible experience. The ride to the reef on the speed boat is an attraction on its own. The guys on the boat went to great effort to look for the turtles for us to see and to help the non-swimmers see everthing those who can swim did. They give everyone a pool noodle so it is relaxing to float around and see the colourful delights of the reef. We will go back and do this again and wouldn't dream of going with any other company. 100% recommended.
Fabulous 👌, everything...
