Our 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!
Speed boat got us to the reef very quickly

The staff and crew were so nice and helpful and they made sure that everyone was safe when transferring between boats. It was a small group of only 13 and two crew. When the wind picked up and made it difficult for us to snorkel in one area, they moved us to another one. It was a very good experience and I recommend it.
Fantastic !!!!

Our Skipper was amazing! Knowledgeable and super passionate! A speedboat never felt so good and the educational tour on the island was a surprise! The highlight of the trip was the skipper (host - Matt?) in the business for 9 years and knows everything there is to know! Great snorkelling and an amazing experience on the speedboat (3)
Well worth the trip.

Less time on boat trip more time in water snorkeling. The island was great to take a break from the water and explore. The half day morning tour was perfect because in the afternoon we were able to do Mossman Gorge. Staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive.
Best snorkeling

The perfect afternoon. Matt and Olivia took very good care of us. The ride out to Low Island was fun and quick, seriously no time to get sea sick. We were very lucky with the weather too, almost flat waves, glorious blue skies and bright sunshine with a light breeze. Matt took us to shore on a glass boat pointing out all the best snorkeling spots on the way. The snorkeling was unreal, probably the best I've ever done. We saw turtles, loads of parrot fish, "nemos", reef sharks, loads of corals, the colourful fish came in so many sizes teeny tiny to the size of turtles. We swam out along the reef drop as suggested. We also took the walk around the island with Matt which was both entertaining and informative, the perfect mix of anecdotes and facts about marine and island life.
Incredible experience.

Booked the reef sprinter as we didn’t fancy the big hike out to the outer reef. We had amazing afternoon over on the Low Isles. The reef sprinter was great fun and Matt and Olivia were really lovely and full of knowledge about the best snorkelling spots. The snorkelling was fantastic, we swam with turtles, reef sharks and dozens of colourful fish. Super impressed with the tour well worth the money. Definitely recommend if your staying at port Douglas, only takes 15 minutes to get to the low isles. We will come back and do the tour again.
