Visiting the Reef

The reef is a must see for any visitor but how best to see it depends on your circumstances. Young families for example might enjoy the Fitzroy or Green Island + a trip to the aquarium while singles or families with older kids might enjoying snorkelling off a reef platform like Reef Magic. Another tip is to go out on a day with the least amount of swell. Check the Cairns Marine Forecast.
