What
to do on Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia
List
1 (unchanged from 1) The Great Barrier Reef.
The
Great and the Beautiful Great Barrier Reef
One
of the great wonders of the world for its size (2,000 km in length)
and splendour the Great Barrier Reef awaits you just off the Queensland
coast.
How
to see the Great Barrier Reef
You
have to get under Down-Under to really experience the Reef, close
up and personal. That said, snorkeling is easy, great fun and allows
you to really relax and enjoy yourself. Do
both is my advice.
I
can't swim - so sink into the Great Barrier Reef
You don't have
to be a good swimmer to see the Great Barrier Reef but you do have
to experience it somehow. Poor swimmers make the best first time
divers, they know how to sink and don't wonder off on their own.
I sank,
floated, then smiled but not too much as smiling can let the water
into your mask.
I can't swim
- so snorkel over the Great Barrier Reef
Borrow some
flippers, a mask, an understanding friend or relative and get yourself
down to your local swimming pool. If you feel a little foolish don't.
Just remember why you are doing it and what awaits you at the end
of it all. Take lessons if you need to build your confidence.
I said I can't
swim stupid !
If you really
don't want to get wet there is nothing wrong with a the glass bottom
boat.
Stay calm
Ideally you
would want to be in the water on a calm day - improves the visibility
and sooths the mind, although if you are diving it makes less of
a difference.
Avoid the
Crowds
Avoid selecting
tours purely on price unless you have no choice or like sharing
a lot with a lot.
