This Great Barrier Reef tour offers a unique and inclusive experience for disabled passengers. With a chair lift that enables easy access into the water for "snorkeling", Quicksilver ensures that mobility impaired individuals can fully participate in the adventure. The electric hoist is designed to lower passengers into the water, allowing for partial or full participation with the use of flotation devices. This exclusive feature is available only on the Agincourt 3 floating platform, providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

While the Outer Barrier Reef may have some limitations in terms of accessibility, with stairs being the primary means of access to the underwater observatory, swim platforms, and semi-submersible coral viewing vessels, Quicksilver VIII is the most suitable vessel for wheelchair passengers. The vessel features ramp facilities from the vessel to the floating platform, as well as oversized toilet cubicles designed to accommodate most wheelchair passengers. Quicksilver V also has a wheelchair accessible toilet for added convenience.

Please note that while Quicksilver VIII is the primary vessel with wheelchair facilities, there may be occasions when backup vessels are used that do not have these facilities. Quicksilver is committed to providing the best possible experience for all guests, and our knowledgeable staff are trained to provide assistance and support to passengers with disabilities.
