Great Barrier Reef snorkeling

This trip took us to two outer reefs, Milln Reef and Flynn Reef, where we also saw whales and dolphins. The outer reefs are much more beautiful than the inner reefs, but you first have to endure two hours of rough seas to get there. However, it's absolutely worth it. I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand to avoid spoiling the experience.

Fitzroy Island was beautiful! Very scenic and tranquil. The ferry tickets were easy to use, with clear instructions sent to your email 3-4 days before your actual departure date. However, please note that facilities on Fitzroy Island are limited… There are only 3 toilets next to Foxy’s Cafe, and visitors are not allowed to use the facilities at Fitzroy Island Resort… Remember to bring sunscreen and picnic mats! If you can snorkel, small fish can always be seen near the shoreline.

this is a great trip. it’s very relaxed and when you reach the island you have the freedom to do what you want in terms of paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkelling, etc. it was pretty cold and rained a lot but still managed to do a fair bit. just relaxing on the beach was not something to enjoy. the boat ride, the crew, the croc spotting was all great. Andy’s knowledge and enthusiasm of all things reef was an honour to be a part of. morning tea and cake was a nice pick me up. lunch was lovely. there was no afternoon tea but all too full from lunch to miss it.
