5.00This was outstanding. When I went to the outer reef years ago I got seasick and cold, but not with this tour! Kids loved the speed boat ride, we all loved the snorkeling, and there was the perfect amount of time on the island to snorkel and look around. Staff were really nice and knowledgeable, stinger suits were fun and effective, equipment was all excellent. Would highly recommend this trip, it was one of the highlights of our visit to Port Douglas!
Fun family afternoon

5.00Really great afternoon! Boat ride was super fun, we couldn’t stop laughing. Sat in the front two rows and it was a wild ride but great. Our two boys - 9 and 11yrs- loved it! Matt was a really great guide, super knowledgable. His walking tour was really informative and entertaining. Snorkelling was really chill and enjoyable :)
Great day!

5.00Highly recommended, our hosts were very knowledgeable, the boat ride out and back was terrific. Once out at the island we were pretty much left to our own devices, but the boys were always there with advice and help to find the best spots to snorkel. The equipment was up to date, clean and fitted well. We had a great time and would definitely recommend everyone who wants to try snorkelling to give these guys a go, you won’t regret it, 5 stars!

5.00Our speed boat tour to the low isles in the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas was fabulous, easily one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. From the minute we took off, the fun began. The red boat took us swiftly out to the island, it was so fast that there is no time to get seasick, bonus!! Being low season when we arrived to low isles we were so lucky we had the island all to ourselves! Sparkling white sand, crystal clear water, and not another tour group in sight. One of the highlights was the glass bottom boat tour. Sailing smoothly over vibrant coral gardens without getting wet was educational and mesmerising. Seeing the giant clams and intricate coral formations along with small schools of fish was fascinating. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, pointing out marine life we would have completely missed on our own. From the shoreline we were lucky enough to see graceful turtles, lemon sharks and blacktip reef sharks, and swimming in the snorkelling with them was so exciting. At no point did we feel unsafe. The crew provided excellent safety briefings before heading out to the reef and made sure everyone was comfortable before entering the water. Snorkelling and seeing the magnificent marine life up close in their natural habitat was simply amazing. Matt & Chris were both friendly and professional, and clearly passionate about marine conservation, they balanced fun and safety perfectly. If you're a tourist FNQ don’t miss a tour with reef sprinter, only 15 minutes to the low isles to enjoy a few hours of snorkelling.

5.00Awesome day! The staff is incredible - especially Matt and Toby. We were 2 couples. The ladies didn’t want to snorkel so Matt took us out along the farther reef to see some incredibly huge coral/ reef. 1/2 day is the perfect amount of time. 100% worth every penny! Thanks for making our vacation unforgettable.

5.00A super way to spend a morning from Port Douglas. Easy to book; exciting trip out to Low Isles. Equipment was great; we were given clear and helpful directions and guidance on where we would access best coral; visibility was outstanding. We were provided with stinger suits; spotted sea turtles, fish galore, coral gardens, reef sharks (baby ones), and enjoyed an interesting walk around the small island with Matt, our skipper. Such an enjoyable morning; would highly recommend! Thank you Matt & Toby for an excellent trip.
Excellent trip to the Low Isles

5.00Had a great half day tour with Matt & Georgie to the Low Isles, boat ride there and back was exhilarating. Plenty of time spent at the island, Matt took us on a glass bottom boat trip around the reef, his knowledge of the area is excellent. Would highly recommend this trip, well worth the money and has given us some great memories of our time in Queensland. Thank you Matt and Georgie.
Best snorkeling experience ever! Calm, clear waters and lots of time to enjoy.

5.00Our guides, Matt and Georgie, made the day really special. The boat ride to Low Island was fast and fun! Then we had PLENTY of time for a really lovely relaxing snorkel in calm waters. My wife is a hesitant snorkeler and said it was the best experience we have had. Typically, when snorkeling, half the time is spent making sure you're keeping up or in the right spot. This was just the opposite! Matt really planned the day based on the tides, and we enjoyed a short island tour before we got into the water. The reef was quite clear (though not completely pristine, as the coral had spawned the day before!) and we saw so many beautiful fish. I even got video of a turtle who was very happy to swim near me! The glass bottom boat tour was a delight and Matt took time to really show us around. We DEFINITELY recommend this one!
