Frequently Asked Questions

The Quicksilver cruise travels to the world-famous Agincourt Reef on the Outer Barrier Reef, which is known for its stunning coral formations, colourful marine life, and clear underwater visibility.

The cruise departs from the Reef Marina in Port Douglas, and passengers are required to check in at the Quicksilver terminal at least 45 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time.

The full-day experience lasts approximately nine hours from check-in to return, which includes about four hours of activity time at the Agincourt Reef pontoon.

The standard package includes return catamaran transfers, a tropical buffet lunch, morning and afternoon teas, snorkeling equipment, and access to the semi-submersible and underwater observatory.

The catamaran and the pontoon are wheelchair accessible with ramp access and accessible toilets, though guests must be able to navigate some marine environments and staff should be notified in advance of specific requirements.

Non-swimmers can view the coral and marine life through the underwater observatory, join the semi-submersible coral viewing tour, or book an optional scenic helicopter flight over the reef.

You should bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a towel, swimwear, and any necessary personal medications, as towels and prescription masks are not provided in the standard package.

Underwater visibility is generally highest during the winter and spring months from June to November, though the outer reef location provides clear water year-round regardless of coastal weather conditions.

The wave-piercing catamaran is designed for a smooth ride, but the 90-minute transit across the open ocean can cause motion sickness for susceptible individuals, so taking preventative medication beforehand is recommended.

If the cruise is cancelled by the operator due to severe weather or unsafe sea conditions, guests are typically offered the choice of rescheduling to an alternative date or receiving a full refund.

Stinger suits are provided and highly recommended for use during the tropical summer months from November to May to protect against marine stingers like Irukandji and box jellyfish.
