mytravelbackpack @ Withsundays, Queensland – Day 1
74 beautiful islands and the Great Barrier Reef in the same area, life is good!
Only 3 full days, no time to waste.
Day 1 : The Great Barrier Reef
With 2900 individual reefs stretching for over 2600km, the Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest reef system. We decided to explore Hardy’s Reef with Fantasea Adventure Cruising, a multi award winning cruise operator based in Airlie Beach. We had only one day to explore the reef so we chose the most well-known tour company in the region to be sure we’d enjoy our trip.
In fact, not only we had just one day of reef activities but we only had 4 hours on the pontoon. Yeah, 4 hours to do some snorkeling, semi-sub and helicopter. I forgot, the all you can eat lunch buffet… no matter, no time to eat.
This was probably one of the coolest 4 hours of my life. Here are some pictures of paradise!
