The Quicksilver Reef Swim Green Island is a truly unique event held in conjunction with Cairns Ironman, offering swimmers the rare opportunity to take on a 1.5km or 3km course in the crystal-clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

Set in an around-the-buoys format just off Green Island, this ocean swim showcases the breathtaking marine life below the surface, including colourful reef fish, graceful turtles, and vibrant corals, making it one of the most spectacular reef swims in the world.

After your swim, take time to unwind and soak in the beauty of Green Island. With its white sandy beaches, emerald rainforest, and stunning coral reef, it’s the perfect way to relax and settle your nerves before race day.
