I asked at the hotel front desk which cruise ship is good for the Great Barrier Reef, and they recommended REEF MAGIC. So I reported a one-day tour of REEF MAGIC on Ctrip, and the price was basically the same as buying tickets on the spot. I boarded the ship and went out to sea early in the morning. The weather was clear and the wind and waves were not big. There was no sign of seasickness as mentioned in the guide, but I still listened to the advice of a girl from Beijing and went to the front desk to get two free seasick pills. (ps, there are also paid ones, 3 dollars a pill). After nearly two hours of sailing, we arrived at the REEF MAGIC pontoon (offshore platform) on Moore Reef. On the platform, you can scuba dive, snorkel, semi-submersible and glass-bottom boat to watch marine life. The most worthwhile thing is to take a helicopter to watch the Great Barrier Reef. It is indeed very beautiful and difficult to describe in words. It is a unique scenery here and it is difficult to see it elsewhere. Snorkeling here is still a bit challenging for me, who is basically a landlubber. Snorkeling here is completely different from snorkeling in Saipan. The water depth at the seaside of Saipan is only one meter, but here you can hardly see the bottom. Although I put on a life jacket🦺, I still felt lost and didn't dare to swim far. ps, if you have signed up for a helicopter tour, you must register as early as possible so that you can arrange a relatively early time and facilitate the arrangement of other activities on the platform. We registered at 8:30 and arranged a flight at 12:20, which conflicted with the meal time, and also overlapped with the schedule of other activities, making the time very tight and not feeling very good.

This is worth a visit. The weather was very good on the day we went out to sea. It was a sunny day with a light breeze, so there was almost no bumps along the way. We even saw whales on the way back! There was plenty of time to play in the Great Barrier Reef. The buffet lunch was average.
Be sure to take seasickness pills in advance when taking a cruise, otherwise you will be so seasick that you will doubt your life. Snorkeling is super fun, but be careful that corals will crush you. Wear a jellyfish suit and apply sunscreen. The ultraviolet rays are very strong. The Great Barrier Reef is super beautiful.
The world in the sky and the world under the sea are not the same perspective. recommend. Look, there are whale babies, worth it. The Great Barrier Reef above is very charming, the corals are crystal clear, the environmental protection is very good, and whales can often be seen.
The best thing is snorkeling! Unfortunately, my mobile phone did not bring a waterproof cover, underwater in front of me colorful corals, and the colorful fish that can reach my eyes, did not record!
Beautiful scenery, clear sea water
