Snorkeling the Outer Great Barrier Reef - Best Day Ever in Cairns

We set sail on a Great Barrier Reef snorkeling tour from Cairns Australia to Saxon Reef & Hastings Reef. Before that, we explore Rusty’s Markets and later feast on fresh seafood at Prawn Star Cairns, a unique floating restaurant in Cairns Marina, and a Queensland icon. Our snorkel on the outer reef with Down Under Cruise and Dive was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives, and a perfect way to conclude our Cairns travel vlog series. Everyone needs to experience this at least once in their lifetime! 🐠 Snorkeling the Outer Great Barrier Reef – Our Best Day Ever!
