Group Experiences in Port Douglas

Australia is well known for its abundance of wildlife, from dastardly dingoes to fleet-footed kangaroos. Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat is a prime spot to get up close to some iconic creatures – without the threat of being eaten, stung, and/or poisoned. Hug a koala and count the spots on a spotted-tail quoll. Potter down the Pathway of Pythons and snap photos of saltwater crocodiles. See vibrant cassowaries and finches, and just wait until you meet the endangered mahogany glider!

Hop aboard Quicksilver's catamaran and travel 39 nautical miles to the edge of Australia's continental shelf. There's a specialised activity platform waiting for you, right where the reef's ecosystem remains most pure. If you're here to snorkel or dive, you're in luck. This far out, the clear ocean water helps the ribbon reefs teem with some of the most vibrant coral and sea life you'll see. The platform has a licensed bar, underwater observatory, semi-submersibles, showers, and air-con.

Start your snorkeling adventure on the Great Barrier Reef. Visit three reef sites with relaxing breaks in between. Optional hotel pickup takes you to the Crystalbrook Marina, or drive there yourself. Once at the marina, board the vessel and get an overview of the day's plan and safety instructions. Set off from the marina to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and head to the first reef site. Divers receive a briefing during the trip. After anchoring, divers plunge while other guests listen to a snorkeling briefing. Enjoy the vibrant colours and marine life close to the water's surface. Snorkeling is suitable for all skill levels. Morning tea is served before heading to the second reef site.

Snorkel at a quiet island during early morning or afternoon. Reach Low Isles after a 30-minute ride and explore the coral reef and its inhabitants without the crowds. Spend 2.5 hours snorkelling around this coral cay. Snorkel in the calm lagoon or view the reef from a glass bottom boat. Guides will offer tours to help you learn about the Great Barrier Reef. Easily access the reef from the back of the boat or from the beach, as the reef is close to the island.

A secluded tropical paradise, set like a jewel in the Great Barrier Reef, Low Isles is an idyllic, unspoilt coral cay island – a tropical island paradise. Combined with the romance of sailing aboard Quicksilver's luxury 30-metre sailing catamaran, _Wavedancer_, this is the perfect day for families and couples seeking island relaxation. From the moment _Wavedancer_ moors in the calm waters of the island's picturesque lagoon, a host of reef activities await. The friendly crew will take you on a leisurely, informative day where island visitor numbers are limited. Discover the mysteries of marine life while snorkelling or enjoying the view on the glass-bottom boat. Take a guided beach walk and snorkelling tour with a marine biologist, or just soak up the sun on the beach beneath a thatched umbrella or on the decks of _Wavedancer_. Visitors are limited to protect the reef's ecology, so you'll experience this island heaven with a select few.
