    It was an easy process and the pick up address was really close to where I was staying. All staff at Quicksilver were so efficient and made sure that everyone knew exactly what the process would be. They have systems in place if you are a nervous swimmer and all of the staff on the boat went out of their way to make this day a fantastic one! 🥰 Thank you!

    Crew, boat. Reef still spectacular although sadly bleached in spots. We left some personal items behind and reservations staff, Marieke, went extra mile to return the items to Pullman Palm Cove! Thank you again
