- Especially designed to enable overnight camping transfers to Dunk Island via the Great Barrier Reef
- Our tour 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
- Our 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.
- Our marine biologist who travels with us every day (with 15 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
- For our overnight in Mission Beach option book our Enjoy Mission Beach Overnight | Outer Reef Snorkel & Dunk Island
- For our day return tour (without staying overnight in at Dunk Island) book our Outer Reef Snorkel & Dunk Island Day Tour
