Bridget – Canada

Snorkeling of course was the best. The submersible was also cool. Saw two large turtles from the sub. Thoroughly enjoyed the marine biologist’s talk beforehand

A
Andrea – United Kingdom

Amazing trip - nothing too much trouble from the minute we boarded the huge cataraman - teas and coffees and biscuits provided - lovely lunch included then cheese and crackers on the return journey We snorkelled, went in the semi submersible and went to the viewing gallery plenty of time on the platform roughly 3-3.5 hrs behind - all equipment provided including stinger suits. Saw loads of fish and coral Travel time to the reef approx 1.5 hrs Loved every minute of this trip 10 am departure back in port by by 4.30 10/10

Full description

Climb aboard a Quicksilver catamaran for a full-day cruise to Australia’s renowned Agincourt Reef, a jewel-like ribbon reef on the edge of the Continental Shelf.
Showcasing unsurpassed coral formations, colorful marine life and exceptional underwater visibility, you can snorkel or view the sights from the comfort of a semi-submersible.

The Quicksilver's stylish wave-piercing catamaran transports you in air-conditioned comfort. From the spacious activity platform, moored in a protected lagoon, enjoy the widest range of activities for swimmers and non-swimmers alike.

A friendly and attentive crew, including professional marine biologists, are on hand to ensure you gain the most from your day. Snorkel among the coral gardens, or stay dry and explore the reef from the comfort of a semi-submersible.
Enjoy an informative reef commentary and see the reef from an underwater observatory.

Add on exciting optional activities for a complete adventure. Get an introductory dive of the reef, or enjoy certified diving, helmet diving and marine biologist-guided snorkel tours. You can even take a scenic helicopter flight and fly over the reef to see it from another perspective.
