We snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef. The excursion was well organized, but we were rather disappointed in the area of the reef that we had access to. There was a lot of coral bleaching and damage and not many colorful colors visible. It was also off of a pontoon, and there were many people there, making snorkeling difficult.

Barely visited this venue as the rain was non stop unfortunately.

Pretty Airlie Beach - required tendering to the port here. Booked a scenic flight over the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef with Viator. Outstanding! Spent the rest of the day wandering the one Main Street. Don’t miss exploring this seaside gem if it’s on your itinerary.

Airlie Beach was a great opportunity to get off the ship and walk through the city.

Whole area is lovely and didn't mind getting drenched getting off the tender. Glass bottom boat excursion was lovely.

Not a lot to visit on your own. Would be better if you have a scheduled excursion.
