Activity Suggestion
A "must do" while traveling Australia, is to visit The Great Barrier Reef and put in a spot of diving. No experience needed, and you can still get in with just basic courses. Most choose to day trip, though many visit Airlie Beach to sail aboard a "twin master" for 3 days 2 nights. So what's the hype? An unforgettable experience diving some of the most spectacular locations in the world. Your choices are endless. Experienced divers can visit the S.S. Yongala wreck just off Townsville or for the beginner a snorkel trip around Lady Musgrave Island will delight. You will see various tropical fish and coral. For more, visit our Adventure pages…
