Daintree Cape Tribulation Attractions - The Great Barrier Reef

Just off-shore from Daintree/Cape Tribulation is the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.This is the only place in the world where two World Heritage areas exist side-by-side. These coral reefs are unchanged by human interference and shelter myriad of fishes, anemones, corals and sea-ferns.

The boat leaves from the Cape Tribulation beach on the north side of Cape Tribulation and takes one hour to reach the reef.You will either visit Mackay Reef or Undine Reef.

Whether you are a novice snorkeller who has never been under water in your life , or an experienced and certified Scuba Diver, you will enjoy the opportunities to explore. For snorkellers at Mackay the reef is only 2 - 4 metres below the surface.

Bus pick-up/return from your accommodation can start and close a day of snorkelling, diving, relaxing and unwinding.
