Description

QuickCoast's snorkelling adventures to the Great Barrier Reef from Mission Beach has a maximum of 50 people making us one of the smaller operators in terms of numbers. We are currently averaging 20-30 people at this current point in time. Our numbers make us an ideal option for groups and exclusive charters are a very real option. Beaver Reef 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 our 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 travels with us every day (with 10 or more passengers) gives a presentation on the way to the reef. There is an opportunity to experience a guided snorkel tour as an enhanced experience for our travellers You can also see Dunk Island Adventures as a transfer option to accommodation at Mission Beach while enjoying our tour, thereby offering Mission Beach as more than just a self-drive destination. For this book our Enjoy Mission Beach Multi-Day Pass for the same price.
