5.00We chose this tour as my partner usually gets seasick - the jet sprinter was great and no nausea at all! Jason was a great host and very knowledgeable. All the gear supplied was good quality. Visibility wasn’t the best the day we went out, but we still saw lots of tropical fish, a small shark and some in the group saw turtles. Would definitely recommend this to anyone e who doesn’t have time to get to the outer reef or who can’t do the longer boat ride due to sickness.

5.00Great for intermediate onwards swim strengths. After doing outer rim with large mob, this is 2nd time and wouldn't do any other way. Great crew both times, turtles first time, lots of fish and was great to be able to see the reef rejunivating after 2024 flood of freshwater. Rate this mob highly. Please when doing this swim listen to the crew at all time, our reefs and marine animals depend on it, as does your own life. If you are not sure of what has been directed please ask for clarification, the crews are awesome and need you to understand.
Fantastic great experience

5.00I’ve never been snorkelling or on a speed boat before and this was such an incredible experience! Everyone at Reef Sprinter was super warm and friendly and helpful, which made us feel in safe hands. Speeding through the ocean was amazing, and then seeing lots of tropical fish and coral and even glimpsing a sea turtle were things that brought me so much joy! I’m so glad I chose this tour. Thank you!

5.00If you are looking to tick this off your bucket list then book it in. Jason and Chloe who took us out in the speed boat were amazing, they explained everything in detail Once we got to the reef we saw many colourful fish and a meter long reef shark and lots of coral too. If we got tired we jumped on the glass bottom boat which was excellent so many wonders of the ocean to see!!! I highly recommend this tour, once I got back to land i wanted to do it all over again. Thank you Reef Sprinter and thankyou Jason and Chloe
