Great Barrier Reef

avatar
320***52
I asked at the hotel front desk which cruise ship is good for the Great Barrier Reef, and they recommended REEF MAGIC. So I reported a one-day tour of REEF MAGIC on Ctrip, and the price was basically the same as buying tickets on the spot. I boarded the ship and went out to sea early in the morning. The weather was clear and the wind and waves were not big. There was no sign of seasickness as mentioned in the guide, but I still listened to the advice of a girl from Beijing and went to the front desk to get two free seasick pills. (ps, there are also paid ones, 3 dollars a pill). After nearly two hours of sailing, we arrived at the REEF MAGIC pontoon (offshore platform) on Moore Reef. On the platform, you can scuba dive, snorkel, semi-submersible and glass-bottom boat to watch marine life. The most worthwhile thing is to take a helicopter to watch the Great Barrier Reef. It is indeed very beautiful and difficult to describe in words. It is a unique scenery here and it is difficult to see it elsewhere. Snorkeling here is still a bit challenging for me, who is basically a landlubber. Snorkeling here is completely different from snorkeling in Saipan. The water depth at the seaside of Saipan is only one meter, but here you can hardly see the bottom. Although I put on a life jacket🦺, I still felt lost and didn't dare to swim far. ps, if you have signed up for a helicopter tour, you must register as early as possible so that you can arrange a relatively early time and facilitate the arrangement of other activities on the platform. We registered at 8:30 and arranged a flight at 12:20, which conflicted with the meal time, and also overlapped with the schedule of other activities, making the time very tight and not feeling very good.

Great experience, great value for money There are Chinese staff on board, so you don't have to worry about language problems. They will come over and ask you if you need anything. There is hot coffee on board, and the staff are also very enthusiastic.

It takes 1.5 hours by boat from the pier to reach the offshore floating platform. Many recreational activities are carried out on the floating platform, and a buffet lunch is provided. There is no time limit for snorkeling, and you can fully and freely enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery.

It is right next to the hotel. The area is not very big, suitable for children to play. There is a map guide at the door. There are various explanations scheduled every day. It is said that there is an animal feeding show, but I didn't catch it. The staff is very enthusiastic and will answer any questions you have.

Moore Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is divided into the Inner Barrier Reef and the Outer Barrier Reef. The difference is that the Inner Barrier Reef is closer to Cairns and more people go there. However, the coral and sea scenery is far inferior to the Outer Barrier Reef. The Outer Barrier Reef is farther away from Cairns. The Moore Reef is the Outer Barrier Reef closest to Cairns. The sea water is very crystal clear, blue and clear with high visibility. The colorful coral reefs are located on the fine white sand bed on the seabed. Whether you are sitting in a helicopter overlooking the entire Great Barrier Reef or diving into the seabed to watch various tropical fish shuttle between the corals, it is a great wonder and beautiful.

The Great Barrier Reef tour of Green Island is a great way to experience the Great Barrier Reef. Everyone takes a glass-bottomed cruise to the islands of the Great Barrier Reef. During this time, you can dive into the sea, or watch the beautiful coral world on the seabed of the Great Barrier Reef through a glass bottom boat. It is very relaxing and enjoyable and worth experiencing.

Palm Cove

It was a very long and open beach! The wind is comfortable and I think it's the best for a beach picnic ✨✨ There was a place where you could barbecue along the sea 🍗 However, it was a pity that it was raining a little 💧

This is the big boat from Cairns to Green Island. Before the boat departs, you can go to the service counter to get small cookies, coffee and tea. There are also seasickness medicine. The ordinary ginger slices are free. The good ones cost 3.5 Australian dollars. The tea and snacks are no longer distributed after the boat departs. There is air conditioning in the inner cabin. The view from the outer cabin is better. There are three floors in total. The wind is too strong on the top. It is impossible to stand. The boat is still a bit bumpy. After the boat departs, there will be waiters standing to watch and carry cleaning bags with them. I feel that the management work is still in place. It is best to add a windproof rope to the mobile phone for taking pictures. The hat must be fastened tightly.

Cairns Esplanade Lagoon

It’s a really lovely walk along the esplanade & the promenade - lots of beautiful views and wildlife.

Barron River Rafting

部长大人好
The most fun rafting, no one. More than four hours of itinerary, nervous stimulation, and a combination of team spirit, although tired and sunbathing, but the experience is absolutely invincible, life must play rafting.
