The journey to the outer reef aboard sleek catamarans, which simply glide through the waves, is enough to thrill even the most travel-savvy teenager. Then there is the spectacular Agincourt Reef itself. Quicksilver Cruises' two-story platform has been designed with families in mind. Ramps that accommodate strollers and wheelchairs, showers, changing rooms, plenty of shade, floatation vests (on request), and the Great Barrier Reef's only post office box number among its amenities. Even non-swimmers and the youngest children can observe the colorful reef up close, through the windows of the underwater observatory, or hovering above in a semi-submersible vessel. For those who want to get wet, opportunities for snorkeling and (for those 12 and older) scuba diving abound. Snorkel masks, fins, and wetsuits come in most sizes, including those suitable for many toddlers.
