The Quicksilver Group - The Great Barrier Reef's most awarded tour operator
A pioneering reef tourism company, Quicksilver commenced operations in 1979 with the first commercial cruise to picturesque Low Isles off the coast of Port Douglas. Today the Quicksilver Group has grown to become Australia’s leading Great Barrier Reef operator and one of North Queensland’s largest private employers.
With a sophisticated fleet of 10 major vessels, 2 reef activity platforms and the most amazing array of Great Barrier Reef destinations, we offer the widest range of reef experiences to visitors to Tropical North Queensland. Proudly, we are Australia’s most awarded reef cruise company.
Organise a Corporate Social Responsibility activity. Give back and have your delegates contribute to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park dat. The Great Barrier Marine Park Authority has developed an Eye on the Reef Rapid Monitoring Survey that enables anyone who visits the Great Barrier Reef to contribute to its long-term protection by collecting valuable information about reef health, marine animals and incidents that is used to understand the bigger picture and inform how we manage the Reef.
