DESCRIPTION
Reach Beaver Reef & Cay in approximately 1 hour from Mission Beach or Dunk Island directly. QuickCoast is fast, comfortable and air-conditioned catamaran with premium hospitality. For most, a visit to the Great Barrier Reef might be a once in a lifetime experience. Snorkelling is the best and easiest way to see the reef because over three quarters of its diversity occurs within four metres of the surface. You’ll have total freedom to swim at your own pace. Go where you want, when you want. All equipment included. Experienced marine naturalists give guided snorkel tours and reef talks, each and every day we operate to the Great Barrier Reef. Enjoy up to 3.5 hours in the water at Beaver Cay & Reef plus approximately one hour at Dunk Island on our return from the reef. So, come with a small group for less than 50 passengers for a up close and personal experience with no hidden extra
