Best Snorkelling in Australia

Upolu Reef

Upolu Reef lies about 30 km offshore from Cairns and is part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, as well as the Michaelmas and Upolu Cays National Park.

The Beauty of Upolu Bay

Surrounded by stunning turquoise waters, Upolu Reef serves as a natural aquarium teeming with diverse coral formations and reef fish, including the famous “Nemo” along with sea turtles, stingrays and reef sharks. The bay’s shallow waters make it an ideal spot for beginners and those who may feel a bit nervous.

Breaking Patches

Located approximately 40kms from Cairns, Breaking Patches is a fabulous snorkel spot in the Great Barrier Reef! With an abundance of hard and soft corals, you can find a large range of marine life such as sea turtles, reef sharks and tropical fish including the brightly coloured parrot fish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished up the half day tour with Reef Adventures and can’t recommend it enough. Super friendly and helpful staff, who have your safety in mind all the time. The part of the reef they take you to is beautiful, and we were up close with turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and beautiful fish. Super affordable price too compared to others.
