Your Reef Encounter
Most diving and snorkelling takes place from either islands, coral cays, secure pontoons or boats, making it accessible for people of all ages and abilities. A number of these sites can be reached from Cairns, Palm Cove, Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation and the Whitsunday Islands via day trips. Alternatively, you can stay on an island resort with the reef on your doorstep as the fringing reefs that edge the islands, which were once part of the mainland, offer safe sheltered snorkelling and diving where the waters are clean, warm and free from strong currents.
If you are finding the choice between each of the Great Barrier Islands a little difficult, your solution may lie in a cruise that links several of the islands and reefs.
