1 Day Quicksilver Outer Barrier Reef Tour
Take a trip out to the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas to Agincourt Reef, a renowned underwater wonderland, on a wave piercing catamaran vessel for a great day trip to snorkel or dive which you won’t easily forget.
For your experience of a lifetime, Quicksilver will take you to the renowned Agincourt Reef on the edge of Australia’s Continental Shelf, a jewel-like ribbon reef of spectacular coral formations, colourful marine life and exceptional underwater visibility.
Travel on a wave-piercing catamaran with a friendly crew to a reef at the very edge of Australia’s Continental Shelf, to an underwater world that is a dazzling kaleidoscope of colour and brilliance. Agincourt Reef is a magnificent ribbon reef where you can experience first hand the magic that is the Great Barrier Reef.
Choose to dive, snorkel, or stay dry and explore the stunning reef from the comfort of a Quicksilver semi-sub, just one metre underwater.
Watch the fish feeding from Quicksilver’s unique underwater viewing platform and underwater observatory, or fly in a helicopter over the reef.
Whichever way you choose, you’ll bring home a lifetime of memories from this living natural wonder.
