About our Reef and Icons Package

Discover two World Heritage wonders in one unforgettable adventure. The Reef and Rainforest Icons Tour brings together the best of the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest region. Cruise with Quicksilver Cruises to the outer reef at Agincourt Reef, then explore the charm and culture of Kuranda, the famous village in the rainforest.
It’s the perfect two-day package for couples, families, and first-time visitors who want to experience the very best of Port Douglas and Tropical North Queensland.

Day 1 – Quicksilver Outer Reef Adventure

Travel to the edge of Australia’s Continental Shelf and experience the outer reef in style. Step aboard Quicksilver’s wave-piercing catamaran and spend your day on the spectacular Agincourt Reef.

  • Snorkel among vibrant coral gardens and colourful tropical fish.
  • Enjoy a semi-submarine tour or view the reef from the underwater observatory.
  • Relax on Quicksilver’s spacious floating pontoon.
  • Feast on a delicious tropical buffet lunch while soaking up reef views.
  • Optional activities include introductory scuba diving and scenic helicopter flights (extra cost).

With professional crew and marine biologists on hand, you’ll discover the reef’s wonders in comfort and confidence — whether you’re swimming, diving, or staying dry.

Day 2 – Kuranda Rainforest Experience with Tropic Wings

Swap the reef for the rainforest and journey into the lush green mountains of the Atherton Tablelands. Your day begins with a visit to Rainforestation Nature Park, where you’ll:

  • Ride an Army Duck through tropical rainforest trails.
  • Enjoy the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience and try your hand at boomerang throwing.
  • Meet Australian wildlife including koalas, kangaroos, and crocodiles.

Continue on to the beautiful Kuranda Village, where markets, galleries, and local cafés await. Then, glide above the canopy on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, taking in sweeping views of the Barron Gorge and Barron Falls. Conclude your journey on the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway, winding through tunnels, bridges, and waterfalls before returning to Port Douglas.
