Missy J ready to take on the Great Barrier Reef!
As the one of the seven wonders of the natural world, the GBR has a big title to live up too. We visited three of the best spots on the reef and a bit off the typical tourist track. Leaving out of Port Douglas and visiting reef from a smaller boat that are permitted to visit spots that are protected from the masses. Great trip and a beautiful reef however we all agreed that Ningaloo wins our vote for the best reef in Australia . The water wasn't as clear here,the winds were ferocious, the fish were sparse,and the two hour cruise for the three hours of snorkeling seemed too hard.. It was all a overmarketted touristy adventure. Regrettably our advice would be to head to Ningaloo WA for a better snorkeling experience.

Kids have more fun diving off the back of the boat then diving the reef.
