Venue Information
We started in 1979 with one vessel, a catamaran, which took guests to the Low Isles. This was the first ever commercial trip to these idyllic coral cays, and visitors coming to the small fishing village of Port Douglas for their annual holidays were quick to embrace the concept.
The Quicksilver staff, in their distinctive sarongs, soon encapsulated the carefree yet organised approach that has come to define the operation. Today, we travel further - right to the ribbon reefs at the outer edge of the Continental Shelf. This region is known as the Outer Barrier Reef, and it's one of the very best locations to experience the full majesty and elemental force of this unique natural wonder.
Quicksilver has become a highly sophisticated company with a fleet of eleven of the most advanced Australian made cruising vessels. Quicksilver Connections has been voted Australia's best tour operator, but we can only take half the credit. Nature provides the reef and we're proud to take you to where the very best of nature's work is found.
We are sure you will enjoy your day with us and experiencing nature's finest with Australia's best. We hope the information on this website answers any questions you may have about our products and our company. If you would like further details, please don't hesitate to contact us.
