Overview

About

Explore the stunning Dunk Island on a small group tour from Cairns. Enjoy snorkeling on the outer reef, taking in the breathtaking views and spotting an array of marine life. This unforgettable experience is the perfect way to explore the beauty of Dunk Island and the outer reef.

What you'll do

OverviewEspecially designed for overnight camping transfers to Dunk Island via the Great Barrier Reef or as an epic day tour. Departing from Cairns to Mission, this tour has a maximum of 29 people, making QuickCoast snorkel boat one of the smaller operators.

This tour visits the outer reef, which is pristine, only just over an hour from the mainland or Dunk Island, making it one of the fastest transfers to the Outer Reef.

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 travelers.

QuickCoast's marine biologist, who also travels every day with 15 or more passengers, is an excellent choice for an uncrowded experience. An opportunity to experience a guided snorkel tour as an enhanced experience for small group-minded travelers is also available. An excellent choice for an uncrowded experience.
