Each day, the vessel moors in the calm, translucent waters of Low Isles’ picturesque lagoon, where a host of reef activities await guests to this island paradise. Visitor numbers are limited to preserve the environment.
For the more adventurous, the Silver Series offers fun and adventure with day dive and snorkel tours. Departing daily from Port Douglas and Cairns, The Silver Series luxury catamarans, Silversonic and Silverswift, are custom built for small groups of adventure-minded people. Visit three reef sites to experience five hours of snorkelling, introductory diving or up to three certified dives.
Quicksilver passengers travelling from Cairns or Palm Cove to Port Douglas can see one of the most spectacular scenic coastlines in Australia by luxury coach with commentary.
