Cairns: Small Group | Outer Reef Snorkel & Dunk Island
QuickCoast travels to one of the most pristine reefs on The Great Barrier Reef. We snorkel two parts (east & west) in separate snorkel sessions. See vibrant corals and clams with a possibilities of a vast variety of marine life and possible chance to see turtles, stingrays, reef sharks, and a vast variety of fishes including clown fish. After two sessions we visit Dunk Island on our return from the reef for an hour and taken ashore by our skipper for a quick history of the island and shown different types of beach walks available. QuickCoast is the only sizable, comfortable catamaran that visits Beaver Reef. Because their numbers are small, our reef is widely regarded as one of the most untouched reefs thereby enhancing the experience for our travellers. QuickCoast's marine biologist who also travels every day with 15 or more passengers. An excellent choice for an uncrowded experience.
