WaveDancer – Low Isles Cruise
Imagine sailing on Wavedancer to the Great Barrier Reef island of your dreams, lying under a palm thatched umbrella, then slipping into the water to drift over coral gardens alive with turtles and brilliantly coloured fishes.
An hour sailing time from Port Douglas, Low Isles is set like a jewel in a Great Barrier Reef lagoon, an idyllic unspoilt tropical paradise that appeals to everyone. The wide sandy beach and clear, calm lagoon are ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Take your mask and snorkel and swim gently around the coral gardens where you’ll see curious clownfish and graceful turtles.
Wavedancer, Quicksilver Cruises' 30 metre luxury sailing catamaran, brings you the excitement of sailing to the Great Barrier Reef in comfort and style.
In late December 2023 Low Isles was impacted by “a once in 100 year flood” following Tropical Cyclone Jasper. While the island is still the beautiful coral cay it has always been with its extensive bird life and natural habitat, being close to the mainland, floodwaters from the Daintree, Mossman and Mowbray Rivers caused damage to areas of coral. As living coral colonies are slowly recovering, you will still see green turtles and an abundance of fish life. To assist in the recovery of this sensitive ecosystem and also ensure an engaging experience, we have limited our visitor numbers to Low Isles.
