For novice adventurers this was the best day out we were flooded with fish and turtles we had to shoo fish out of the way to sit on the step to go snorkelling so we could put on our flippers. The facilities were excellent and we had loads of opportunity to see the coral and the fish.

What a Magical day!!! a must do tour for anyone wanting to visit our beautiful reef.
we just had to turn up to reception for our bus and the rest of the day was organised beautifully for us.
really enjoyed ourselves
the only Criticism we had was the morning tea and afternoon tea could have been better. We had travelled out to the reef in Hamiltion Island and the food was much better for the same price. over all excellent !!!

Overall a reasonably enjoyable experience. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Facilities ok but not enough included for the cost - did not find it very good value for money compared to other similar cruises available (eg snorkelling tours additional cost - these should have been included).

The trip to the reef and the time there were truly fantastic. The staff were informative and friendly . They were always willing to help. The reef viewing was magnificent and was the highlight of the trip to North Queensland for a 40th Birthday celebration.

A very well organized tour with great staff and good equipment. The semi-submersibles are great to see the reef. I wish there was more time at the pontoon with this quicksilver great barrier reef tour. You only get 11:30 am to 2:45pm at the pontoon. They took us to agincourt reef #3. Food was plenty but just Ok. If you like to see the reef and fishes I suggest you skip the lunch at the pontoon and just snorkel and/or dive all of the 3hrs. The reef is just beautiful and renting a high megapixel digital camera for 45-60$ is a great idea. Pictures taken by our own camera in the submersibles came out blue but the ones we took with the rented waterproof digital camera came out great with a lot of colors.

An excellent tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable tour staff. They were able to deal with a multitude of different nationalities and ages in a courteous and inclusive way. Made our Reef trip a hugely positive experience for baby, parents and 10yr old.

The overall feeling of Wavepiercer is pretty good. The reef is fantastic and the crews are very friendly and helpful, Natasha of the reservation team is simply extrodinary!

My only comment is the time at the reef seems a bit short comparing to other tour operators, arrivig around 11:30 and leave by 2:45, just a bit more than 4 hours, while other reef tours offer around 5 hours reef time. If the boat could leave Port Douglas an hour earlier, it will be much better.

loved the trip to the Barrier reef. We were expecting a smaller boat. The food was good considering the amount of people they were catering for. We have snorkelled many times in different oceans. Had this been the first time it would have been out of this world. very enjoyable.

All six of us had a great time. We had no idea how massive the barrier reef was. Snorkelling was great fun and we all enjoyed the lunch.
