1. Snorkel Snorkelling is certainly the coolest, cheapest and most popular way to have close- up contact with the Great Barrier Reef. Mask on your eyes, snorkel in your mouth and a pair of flippers on your feet and you’re ready for an aqua adventure you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Get an underwater camera to take home some photos to make your friends jealous. 2. Seawalker You can enjoy Sea Walker at two specially equipped pontoons - one at Green Island and the other at Sunlover's base. With a spaceman’s helmet on your head, stepping beneath the waves, and keeping your head and face dry whilst getting stunned by the fish-life around is another name of Sea walking.

3. Scuba Doo The next level of the Seawalker concept is called Scuba Doo that gives you the freedom to explore the reefs at speed of up to 2.5 knots whilst staying dry inside the 180-degree viewing window. One will literally feel like piloting a submarine without actually getting in one! 4. Scuba Diving For some travellers, scuba diving is the ultimate way to explore the secrets and beauty of the reef. There are great operators all along the Great Barrier Reef, servicing some of the best dive sites in the world. You can also opt for lessons provided by many operators. Reach out to us if you wish a recommendation based on your needs.

5. Live-Aboard Dive Boat This really is the ultimate in exploring the Great Barrier Reef. You can select to stay between 3 and 14 nights and embark to the deep waters of the Outer Great Barrier Reef. Dive Expeditions will take you to swim with whales, feed sharks and visit some of the most impeccable coral reefs on offer. 6. Glass-Bottom Boat If you don’t like to get your hair wet but still want to witness the marvellous largest living organism, you can always opt for glass-bottom boat tours. The marine professionals who drive them will paddle you over shallow reefs looking for turtles, pointing out the different corals, giant clams and everything else they find.

7. Submarine From Cairns, Fitzroy Island is home to a great submarine adventure on the Great Barrier Reef. Leaving the sandy beaches behind, balance as though you’re diving and gaze through the fish-eye windows as coral bommies, the turtles and shoals of fish pass by. 8. Helicopter Only from the air can you understand the vastness of the Great Barrier Reef. No wonder it can be seen from space! Strap yourself in, put your headphones on and whisk up into the air. Landing on an isolated coral cay surrounded by the ocean and a million fish is a truly indulgent affair.

9. Seaplane If you’re visiting the Whitsundays and want an adventure, then why not climb into the cabin of an Air Whitsundays seaplane, and satisfy an aerial reef adventure. A day trip will take you over the 74 islands of the Whitsundays, stop- over at Whitehaven Beach for a stroll before flying over the world- famous Heart Reef. Bring your camera. 10. Sail If, you’d rather enjoy the wind and spray of the ocean on your face, then sailing on the Great Barrier Reef has to be your call. With the main sail tight in the breeze, an expectant fishing line over the stern and a glass of champagne in hand; you have to try a bare-boat charter if this lures your inner self.
