Full description

Climb aboard Quicksilver’s luxury 30-meter (99-foot) Wavedancer sailing catamaran and sail to the idyllic Great Barrier Reef island of Low Isles. Enjoy a relaxing day out for families and couples in a tropical island paradise ambiance.
Set like a jewel in the Great Barrier Reef, Low Isles is an unspoiled coral cay island. Moor in the calm waters of a picturesque lagoon, and enjoy a host of reef activities that await.
Before your arrival at Low Isles, a marine biologist will conduct an informative talk to provide passengers with an appreciation of the reef, enabling you to view the corals with informed eyes. 
Once at Low Isles, take a snorkel tour to see the colorful creatures of the reef. Alternatively, see turtles and many brightly colored tropical fish from a glass bottomed boat.
Back on the beach, join a marine biologist guided beach walk to discover the unique marine life living at the water’s edge. Then relax and tuck in to a delicious tropical buffet lunch.

  • Wavedancer cruise from Port Douglas Marina
  • Morning and afternoon teas on board
  • Reef presentation by marine biologist
  • Tropical smorgasbord buffet lunch
  • Snorkeling equipment and instruction provided (mask, snorkel, and fins)

Christine – AustraliaNovember 1, 2024 – Verified booking
One of the best reef tours we have been on. Low Isles only allows small groups at a time which makes you feel like you have the island to yourself! Quicksilver staff are amazing, they make you feel at home from the moment you step on to the boat and are attentive & helpful the whole day! Morning & afternoon tea provided along with a generous tropical smorgasbord lunch. Plenty of seating options onboard, vessel is well maintained and comfortable. This tour is a must & great for people who don’t want to snorkel as you can walk along the waters edge all way around the island or just sunbake on the sand & if you want to snorkel all the gear is included in the price along with a glass bottom tour!
