My snorkeling trip to Mooree’s Reef was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we set off, everything was perfectly organized and well thought out. The crew was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about the reef, making the entire experience both fun and educational.The reef itself is an underwater wonderland! The water was so clear that we could see the vibrant corals and marine life in vivid detail. Swimming among the colorful fish, rays, and even spotting a gentle sea turtle was a surreal and unforgettable experience. The diversity of marine life at Mooree’s Reef is truly remarkable and a testament to how well it’s preserved.The guides went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a safe and enjoyable time, providing high-quality gear and thorough instructions for beginners.

I think the price is about steep. Overall facility is neat and clean. Can spend 2-3 hours there the most.

Before coming to Cairns, I had always wanted to take advantage of the tropical 🏝️ characteristics here and rent a cost-effective hotel or B&B with a swimming pool. In fact, after I came here, I found that there was a free public large swimming pool here. It is really a treasure place! This is in the center of Cairns, adjacent to the seaside. Not far away is the helicopter 🚁 helipad, behind is the Cairns Night Market, and there is a supermarket across the road. It is not far from the cruise terminal ⛵️. It is within walking distance of the Cairns Art Gallery 🎨 and the Aquarium 🐟. Generally, you can arrange to visit the above two indoor venues during the day and go to this lagoon swimming pool 🏊 in the evening. Although it is free, the water quality is still good. It is equipped with professional lifeguards and clean shower 🚿 changing rooms and toilets. There are also some areas for BBQ 🍖 on the side. Even if you live in a hotel or B&B in the city center that does not include a swimming pool and a yard, you can completely treat it as a back garden and stroll around. At night, go to the night market and have a feast. This life is absolutely wonderful! Tips: For those who are short on time, I recommend staying in a hotel or B&B in the city center. The package is here! Generally, the trips to SkyRail, Kuranda and Palm Bay are a bit farther, so it is recommended to sign up for a day trip for convenience!
