Poseidon and Silversonic<\/h3>\n

Poseidon and Silversonic 5 star cruises deliver the best of the best when it comes to small tours with huge value. These multiple site reef trips are the perfect option if you\u2019re heading out with a partner or travelling solo.<\/p>\n

Silversonic also ventures out to three remarkable sights suitable for swimmers, snorkelers and divers. If you are lucky enough to encounter a dwarf minke whale on this cruise, you\u2019ll be able to swim alongside the incredible mammal \u2013 talk about a story to tell the grandkids!<\/p>\n

Quicksilver Pontoon<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re bringing the kids along or swimming just isn\u2019t your forte, board the wavepiecring catamaran to the Quicksilver Pontoon on the Agincourt Ribbon Reef. This way, you can stay dry and still experience the magic of Australia\u2019s Continental Shelf from semi-submersible boats and a unique fish and coral observatory. The kids will love watching the fish feeding from the underwater viewing platform!<\/p>\n

There are endless entertaining activities on the pontoon for the swimmers and non-swimmers, so you don\u2019t have to worry about crowds. When lunchtime rolls around, indulge in a tropical smorgasbord of prawns, pasta, meats and fruit to really put the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n
