Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Quicksilver Cruises operates out of Wharf Street in Port Douglas, north of Cairns, and is one of the most established and renowned operators for visiting the Great Barrier Reef. Cruising out to a purpose-built pontoon on the outer Agincourt Reef, it offers an unforgettable day on one of the natural wonders of the world.
The appeal is that combination of expertise, comfort and access to a spectacular outer-reef location: snorkelling and diving among vibrant coral and marine life, an underwater observatory, semi-submersible tours and the chance to experience the reef without the hassle of organising it yourself. It's a bucket-list day out, run by a long-trusted name.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's a much-loved experience. Departure times, durations, inclusions and pricing vary, and reef trips depend on the weather, the conditions and available spots, so it's essential to check current details and book directly ahead before you plan your day — and to take sun protection and follow the crew's safety and stinger advice.
