    Perfect eather, very helpful hosts, beautiful fish and coral. Enjoyed every aspect of tour from trip outvto reef to activities on platform.

    Way too crowded, not enough seats on the boat which means standing for one and a half hours each way. Food offerings not great.Coral viewing not very good most of the coral is dead.

    The Quick Silver Company was super organized, friendly and helpful. The buffet lunch was mediocre, but you really don’t want to eat much before snorkeling anyway. The water was a bit murky, not sure why ( a lot of people in one small area or weather?). Nevertheless, it was an amazing experience.

    The cruise went like clock work and was very professionally run. My wife and I had a great time experiencing the reef plus obtaining more knowledge via the marine biologist.

    This tour was amazing! Large catamaran made the trip out to the reef easy and comfortable. Lunch on board was excellent. Semisubmersible trip was great-lots to see. All staff were very helpful. I and #39;m not a confident swimmer but was able to snorkel with ease. My whole family loved it!!

    Good overall experience. The staffs were helpful and informative. The main complaint would be everything was too rushed as we took the optional helicopter tour.
