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

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!
Great trip

We had a great half day snorkeling with Matt as the skipper. The boat was fast, we saw whales on the way back. The reef and marine life was great. We chose this trip because of the fast boat. We could do in half a day what the bigger boats with more people would do in a full day. Highly recommend.
Awesome snorkeling!

It was a really great experience and best snorkeling I have done. Matt and Toby looked after us so well and we saw so much sea life with the highlight for me being the huge turtles we saw.
Fantastic reef experience.

We had a great morning with the Reef Sprinter team and their Outer Reef tour. We were fitted with wetsuits and great goggles/snorkels and had a fantastic time snorkeling on the reef. The water clarity was wonderful and there were so many beautiful fish and corals. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended! This was a well organized and enjoyable trip. The captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable and took us to a great outer reef location with beautiful coral and an amazing variety of colorful sea life. The snorkeling equipment and wet suits were of excellent quality. All of the company staff made it clear that their job was to provide an enjoyable experience and they definitely delivered.
