Great Barrier Reef, located in the east coast of Australia, stretching more than 2300km, has the world's largest coral reef group, accounting for 10% of the global coral reef ecosystem, containing more than 3,000 independent coral reefs, overlooking the naked eye can see about 1m underwater seabed, continuous beach with coral reefs blue and green, extremely spectacular. If an island has a hierarchy, the Great Barrier Reef must be ceiling level!

Here is one of the world's seven natural landscapes, the clear blue glass sea and colorful underwater life really attracted too many fans to come to the clock, this ride on the Sun Lovers depth experience the charm of the Great Barrier Reef ~ you can also participate in snorkeling and Marine life close contact, see the beautiful coral reef.

📍 The nearest port to the Great Barrier Reef is Cairns, there is no direct flight to Cairns at present, it is recommended to transfer from Sydney.

The Great Barrier Reef can snorkel all year round, the water is clear, and it will not feel cold, if you want to enjoy the beauty of the coral reef from multiple angles, it is recommended to choose a cruise ship to go and a helicopter to return.

🚗 : About 1h drive from Cairns city to the port.

🚢 : There are more than a dozen options, between $200 and $400, leaving at 10am. I chose the Sunlover, the price is moderate, the exterior and interior are relatively new, and there is a Chinese diving instructor on board! Aud 260 (fee includes: round trip + buffet + sea slide + snorkeling + diving equipment + snorkeling training), an additional AUD 200 is required.

⚠️ Blood and tears lesson: Be sure to take sea sickness medicine before boarding (available at the dock)

About 30min boat journey to the Great Barrier Reef, the ship will dock in the nearby sea (do not land on the island, directly dock in the offshore)

During the drive, the staff will explain the gameplay of all projects, the specific time and the gathering time, and register.

Before diving, the instructor will let everyone choose a diving suit, guide the wearing of equipment and train snorkeling skills, and the "landlubbe" has nothing to fear!

📷 : You can rent a waterproof camera on board, but believe me, the beautiful camera under the sea really can't capture one-tenth of it! In the sunshine of the place two meters deep can be seen very clearly, around countless tropical fish, swimming around is not afraid of people, reach, there are countless benthic organisms, of course, the most beautiful or colorful coral reefs, you can directly touch, feel the shock brought by this ancient strange creatures.

At around 15:00, the helicopter will stop in the dock of the cruise ship. Before returning, the first aid knowledge will be explained and the seat will be arranged according to the weight. (Right and left need balance). The helicopter is flying counterclockwise, the right side view is relatively good, you can apply in advance and the captain. The captain took us to fly around the Great Barrier Reef, the lowest distance from the sea is only 20m, the visual shock and snorkeling fantasy is completely different!
