Emily 24 July 2026

We went with our 3 and 5 year old and had a great! The time went so quick, we saw lots of different types of fish, turtles etc and a whale on the way home. Would recommend!

Outer reef snorkel and lunch!! Amazing experience. To have something so remarkable on my doorstep is mind blowing. A must see for anyone!! THANKYOU Red Balloon for offering such. Wonderful experiences.

Good experience

Bridget 30 May 2022

The cruise out was well equipped and comfortable however it is an hour and a half out to the jetty so make sure you are prepped with snacks and entertainment. Lunch was ok, nothing special.

Not disability friendly

Anne Marie Douglas 18 May 2022

I had the saddest and worst experience on the outer reef tour. There was promised help on the pontoon but nobody tried to organise me onto the semi submersible boat. My husband was trying to snorkel and seen he was having extreme difficulty getting flippers on for 1/2 hour till I asked for help for him then by then ran out of time to get on the semi submersible. The lady that was looking after us that day said she couldn't find me I was the only disability person in a wheelchair yesterday. The staff were nice especially David the lifeguard helped us on and off the boat ramp. The captain let me off the boat first. The booking staff need to say its fine for a power wheelchair so I have my freedom. The toilet and outside bottom deck was very accessible and on the pontoon wide ramps up and down the two levels. The boat entry and ramps was definitely wide enough. The lady apologised that she list me offered me cold water and a coaster and said she will address with management

Fabulous Day Out

Amanda 14 April 2021

We had a wonderful day out. Family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 teenagers (13 and 17). Besides the morning and afternoon tea being a bit ho hum we all enjoyed a wonderful day out. The glass bottom boat was great and we saw some beautiful fish, coral and even spotted 2 turtles, the snorkelling was enjoyed by all even my 13 year old who is afraid of fish. She overcame that fear and was diving under the water like a pro. We had a super calm day and the weather was magnificent. Just enough time out at the reef any longer people would have been getting bored. Check in was super easy. Absolute value for money.

The weather was perfect, the coral was beautiful

James 23 December 2020

The checkin in process was a breeze, the staff were friendly and helpful! The boat ride was fantastic, so comfortable! We were very lucky, there was no wind and the in water visibility was at 12m so we could see the bottom even around the deeper areas. The coral was spectacular and there was such an abundance of marine life! I have been to Fitzroy and green island a couple of times and it just doesn’t compare. The quicksilver team are knowledgeable and nothing was a problem! I could not recommend this trip any more highly, we are locals and will go out again with quicksilver!! So awesome !

Amazing day out on the reef!

Amber 23 November 2020

We loved our day out on the reef snorkelling and helicoptering. 5 gals having a few laughs. Beautiful place to be for the day, bit of staff eye candy too for those single lasses looking to go out for the day.
