Sooooo Many Fish! - Very easy to do to with such an experienced crew. The large clam was gorgeous. Knowledgable staff to answer all questions on what you saw.

Exciting Experiences on Green Island - We did the underwater Seawalker and glass bottom boat tour. From beginning to end, everything about the tour and the experiences was very well organized from check in/collecting tickets to arriving at the island and knowing what activities/options are available at what times. We didn’t feel rushed during or in between experiences despite picking 10:30 am departure to island and 2:30 pm departure from the island. It felt like a perfect amount of time for the booked experiences and to walk around the island a bit

Amazing Experience!!! - I was very nervous and apprehensive about doing the sea walk with helmet, staff were FANTASTIC!! Very reassuring, I felt 1000% safe in their hands. The experience itself is something I'll never forget!! Absolutely beautiful experience, I'd do it again and again!! Can't recommend this high enough!!!

Fantastic Experience - The experience itself was wonderful. The instructions were clear and concise and they took great care to make sure everything was ok. The actual walk was amazing. Not alot to do on Green Island but worth it to do the helmet dive.

A tick off my list - This was a great trip, something I had wanted to do for a while. As an older solo traveller (60yo), I wasn't comfortable snorkelling on my own so this was a great option.
I was suprised at the weight that I needed to carry and I was pushed around at times by the current, but the crew were wonderful and great support with me being a little nervous.
A great experience but I think you see more when snorkelling freely.
The glass bottom boat was also enjoyable and lots of fish to see and I was lucky enough to see 3 turtles on the day.

We initially booked this... - We initially booked this tour for a party of 5, however only 3 of us were able to participate. One due to a sinus infection and the other due to certain prescription medication usage. This was disappointing to us, as had we been made aware of any medication restrictions we may not have booked the tour at all. I recommend that any medication restrictions be clearly advertised in advance. For those of us who did participate in the sea walk, we found it ok, a little murky in the water, but mostly because we were so bummed other members of our party couldn't join. The concept is a cool one. Really put a damper on things.

Beware! Medications can prevent your participation - This is THE most duplicitous Viator tour ever! In March I contacted the vendor to determine if any of the medications I take would prevent me from participating. They sent me a form which I completed and returned, but heard nothing. No news is good news? Au contraire! The day of the tour we arrived at Quicksilver on Spence St (that was a complete mess -- no where did it say Quicksilver in the entire facility -- you had to intuit it was there!) Received our tickets then sat outside (on a low wall) for 45 minutes. On the boat we were given the same form I had previously filled out, only to be told that I was ineligible because of one medication. My husband was eligible, but if we had known ahead of time, we would have done something else. No transparency. The actual seabed walk was a joke. 15-20 minutes of walking in a circle under the boat. This is an absolute scam. To add insult to injury, getting Viator to provide a refund for half of the expense is excruciatingly difficult. We have used Viator for about 10 years, but that may be coming to a close soon!

Don't Bother -- Seriously! - We booked this through Viator and, without a doubt, this was THE worst experience with Viator, ever!! When I initially booked it, I requested information about whether there would be a problem with my completing this activity, because of my medications. I received no response from the vendor, Quick Silver in Cairns Australia. Trying to find the location of the vendor was a challenge because the name Quicksilver did not appear in any of the Marquee displays, at 1 Spence Street. Instead, it was Silver Swift. It was not until we were on the boat to Green Island that we found out that I would not be allowed to participate in the seabed walk because of a medication I am taking. If we had known this ahead of time, we would have opted for a different tour. Shame on you, Viator, for not protecting your clients. We have been purchasing Viator tours for over a decade. There will be some major reassessment about the source of future tours. Moreover, we have tried, unsuccessfully to get in touch with Viator so that we could at least get a refund for my portion of the trip. Nothing seems to work. Too bad for us!
