Discover the Great Barrier Reef and Dunk Island with QuickCoast’s signature Dunk Island Reef Adventure – the ultimate small-group day trip from Mission Beach, with optional coach transfers available from Cairns.

This unforgettable experience takes you to the vibrant Beaver Reef for guided snorkelling with a marine naturalist, where you’ll explore pristine coral gardens and swim alongside colourful reef fish and marine life. All equipment is provided, and group sizes are kept small for a more personal and immersive encounter with the reef.

On the return journey, enjoy a one-hour stop at Dunk Island—perfect for a leisurely beach walk or simply relaxing under the palms.

Prefer to stay on land? QuickCoast also offers a return ferry to Dunk Island for a full-day self-guided escape. Covered mostly by national park, the island is a nature lover’s paradise with hiking trails, scenic lookouts, and palm-fringed beaches. From the jetty, follow the trail to Muggy Muggy Beach, summit Mt Kootaloo, or complete the island circuit for a more adventurous hike.

Whether you’re chasing underwater wonder or tropical tranquillity, QuickCoast offers the best way to experience the reef and island life from Mission Beach—with convenient Mission Beach departures or return coach from Cairns available. Extended tour options are available, to stay overnight camping on Dunk Island or book accommodation of your choice in Mission Beach.
