Quicksilver's high-speed wave-piercing catamaran will take you to a spacious and comfortable platform at the stable, all-weather reef activity platform located at the renowned Agincourt Reef. Agincourt Reef is a magnificent ribbon reef situated on the edge of the Australian continental shelf. Its clear waters nurture abundant coral growth, which in turn sustains countless spectacular marine creatures.
The spacious, double-deck platform, like an island floating in the Coral Sea, is the ideal base for exploring the reef regardless of age, swimming ability, or activity level.
You can snorkel, scuba dive, watch lively fish feeding demonstrations at the underwater observatory, or participate in an informative semi-submersible dive to gain a deeper understanding of this intricate ecosystem.
Enjoy a 35-minute scenic flight between Port Douglas and Agincourt Reef, taking you on a breathtaking panoramic tour, from rainforest-covered coastlines to the azure waters of the Coral Sea, and into the heart of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
Flight routes include the famous Four Mile Beach, Kimberley Point, Dantry Estuary, Snapper Island, the scenic Windney Sandbar, and St. Crispin Reef.
Experienced pilots will share their local knowledge of the area, while taking you to see turtles, dolphins, manta rays, large schools of pelagic fish, and minke whales and majestic humpback whales (July to September).
