Top 5 Reefs in Great Barrier Reef, Queensland
The world's largest coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef stretches almost 1500 miles into the Pacific from the tip of Queensland. Designated a Marine Park by the Australian government and a World Heritage Area by UNESCO, the reef is home to an extraordinary abundance of species and habitats. Snorkeling, diving and fishing are rightly popular along the reef, nowhere more so than on the Whitsunday Islands, where the silica sands and aqua waters of the Coral Sea create the perfect beach escape.

Make sure you go out to the Agincourt Reef and experience snorkelling or scuba diving on one of the treasures on this planet. I would recommend Silversonic for your experience.

We were on a tour provided by Quicksilver Cruises. The day was fantastic! The boat trip to the Reef was 1-1/2 hours each way and then we spent around 3-1/2 hours at the Reef. Quicksilver provided all the equipment for a fun day as well as a very good buffet lunch. There was plenty to keep us busy at the Reef and we thoroughly enjoyed our time snorkeling and riding on the semi-submersible. The semi-submersible went a little further away from the area where the boat and barge were located in order for us to view more of the Reef.
