Meals Included
Lunch, Morning & Afternoon Tea
Sail from Port Douglas to Low Isles, an unspoilt coral cay set in the Great Barrier Reef, aboard Quicksilver's 30-metre luxury sailing catamaran Wavedancer. Boarding starts at 9:30 am with complimentary morning tea and coffee, followed by a marine biologist's reef presentation in the main cabin before Wavedancer departs at 10:00 am, and a snorkelling demonstration on the way out gets you ready for the water. Once the catamaran moors in the island's calm lagoon at around 11:15 am, the day is yours: snorkel over the coral with a mask, snorkel, fins and lycra suit provided while a qualified lifeguard keeps watch, view the marine life from a glass-bottom boat, or join a guided snorkelling trip with a marine biologist. A tropical smorgasbord lunch is served on board at midday, and in the afternoon a marine biologist leads a guided beach and heritage trail walk. Visitor numbers on Low Isles are limited to protect the reef's ecology, so you share this island with a select few while you relax on the beach beneath a thatched umbrella or on Wavedancer's decks. Afternoon tea is served as you sail home, arriving back at Port Douglas Marina at around 4:30 pm. The government Environmental Management Charge is included, making this a relaxed reef and island day for families and couples.
