Head out from Port Douglas to Agincourt Reef, one of the most pristine ecosystems remaining on the Great Barrier Reef, aboard Quicksilver's award-winning wavepiercing catamaran. The high-speed cruise covers 39 nautical miles to the edge of Australia's continental shelf, where a permanently moored activity platform is your base for the day. On the way out, a snorkelling demonstration gets you ready, and a marine biologist gives a reef presentation about the conservation of this World Heritage wonder.

At the reef you have around three and a half hours to explore at your own pace. The clear ocean water and rich coral growth support abundant marine life, so it is an excellent spot for swimming and snorkelling, with all snorkelling equipment, stinger suits and buoyancy aids provided under lifeguard supervision. If you would rather stay dry, see the coral and fish from the underwater observatory or on a semi-submersible coral viewing tour with commentary. Morning and afternoon tea and a tropical buffet lunch are served, and the air-conditioned platform also has a licensed bar and showers. Optional extras such as introductory scuba diving and helmet diving are available at an extra cost.
