ポート・ダグラスのポセイドン・アウター・グレート・バリア・リーフ・シュノーケリングとダイビング・クルーズ

Pretty big boat with about 80 passengers, but definitely not as big as others operating in the area. They are 100% divers first. To the extent, that when we were out at sea snorkeling, it was a very turbulent time because of how windy it was. I am sure the "guides" could see that I am not a good swimmer given that I was holding on to my husband's arm the whole time. At one point my full face mask created a suction around my face and I was gasping to breathe. It was like being choked by a plastic bag around my face. In order to try and create an air gap so I can breathe around my face, I held on to the rope that was being used by divers. I am sure they could see that I am struggling to breathe but all this while all I could hear while I am gasping and felt like I was dying was "leave the rope for the divers", "leave the rope for the divers" and they didn't care at all about anyone who was not diving. The instructors were very very biased and would only speak to and engage with divers, with 0 concerns given to someone else. So point being - if you are diving, go for it. If you are only snorkeling, I am sure there are better options out there. That said, the reefs were beautiful but find a better provider!

I love the option of 3 different stops to dive or snorkel. The staff were fabulous. Great info from marine biologist. Strongly recommend letting people know that they should bring warm clothes, to bring reef safe sunscreen and also that you provide suits to wear for snorkelling too.

This tour was great as they offered pick up and drop off from the resort where I was staying in Port Douglas, plus three different reefs snorkeling and Morning tea, lunch & afternoon tea. This particular tour also stood out to me because there was also a marine biologist explaining a lot about corals and animals. They also made sure everybody was safe, especially me, since I was the only solo traveller, so every once in a while they would check on me to make sure I was ok. It was an unforgettable day, realising a dream I had been chasing since the age of 5, and the Poseidon crew made the whole experience even better!

A fabulous day out with the most amazing crew who were there to give us a brilliant experience…. Great food and plenty of it ! Great care and safety was paramount

Such a wondrous family day exploring 3 reefs snorkelling, seeing marine life and stunning reef. Staff were fabulous. Pick up and drop off easy. Food lovely. Thank you for such a great day!

This was my first trip on Poisiden but I’ve travelled with Quicksilver Group before so expectations were high. The vessel had approx 50 guests and heaps of crew. As an experienced snorkeler (and former diver) I was keen to see how our Great Barrier Reef looked in 2026 and especially to revisit the Ribbon Reefs at the edge of the Continental Shelf. All three sites we visited were excellent and the weather held all day. Reef life and corals were so stunning at The Point - our first stop - I thought ‘no-one could possibly be disappointed seeing this as their first ever Outer Reef experience’ … Our biologist - also Master Reef Guide - was terrific and explained the topic of coral bleaching very well (although we didn’t witness any) and our guided snorkelling tours were very enjoyable. As was lunch; hot dishes, tiger prawns and fresh fruit platters and much more. Afternoon tea was also a welcome lift after the third snorkelling site. Well done to the Quickie Crew again - you are the Rockstars of the Reef!

Fabulous day out on the outer Great Barrier Reef. Snorkelling sites had an abundance of sea life. Even saw a reef shark in all its beauty. Different options offered to us. You could choose to float around like I did or challenge yourself to further exploration with a guide or do a drift snorkel. Delicious food options and a kind caring crew. Special thanks to Alicia who went above & beyond cleaning up and offering us her expertise. Lots of help was available with equipment. Thank you for a fabulous day on the outer reef. Friendly check in staff too.

We really had a good time on this excursion. The scenery is second to none, we enjoyed ourselves swimming in a river spot, we also spotted a couple of crocs on the river. Our driver/ guide Mike was a lovely person who also went out of his way to do a quiz for us on the bus! 5 star experience. I highly recommend it if you are interested to enjoy nature. We also had a good lunch with beef, chicken or fish burgers.

Great snorkeling experience. I am a diver but my friend was not able to dive so I had no buddy so we snorkeled, I was glad because almost everything you see is within 10 feet. They had life jackets and noodles for those that needed but it was a great way for people to float and see under the surface The coral was amazing, all the different types and colors. The staff was very helpful and they had a ocean biologist to give a brief seminar and some guided swims Definitely a must do tour with a great company

Really great and well supervised. Had the choice between snorking or bottled. The view of the fish and corals is extraordinary.
