How to choose a Great Barrier Reef cruise

Australia's Great Barrier Reef has a long stretch of water and blue water. Most importantly, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest and longest coral reef in the world, with colorful coral groups and fish schools under the water. How to choose a cruise ship when traveling on the Great Barrier Reef? Let’s take a look.

The Silver Shuttle, the one with the most awards and the most technological content

If you get seasick, you can definitely choose the Silver Shuttle! Its hull adopts a streamlined catamaran design and can handle all kinds of weather. It is also equipped with air conditioning in the high-tech catamaran high-speed cruise ship to make your journey comfortable and comfortable! Therefore, Yinsuo has won many awards from many tourism bureaus in Australia and has a good reputation.

Among the many coral reefs, the Agincourt Barrier Reef is one of the most beautiful in the world because it is far from the coast and is unspoiled. There are colorful sea anemones, corals and various fish on the seabed. You can walk on the seabed with professional equipment and have close contact with these little cuties. In addition, Silver Shuttle also provides tourists with explanations of marine life and a variety of marine activities.

If you are particularly seasick, you can take some seasickness medicine, or you can choose to take a helicopter there and back. There are various package combinations for boat and flight, and the reservations in the itinerary are also unclear. Welcome to Miss Liao.

The Crazy Diving Evolution will make your dream come true

The Great Barrier Reef has the world's richest corals, seaweeds, fish and other marine biological systems, forming a picturesque underwater world with " "Divers' Paradise". If you haven't dived on the Great Barrier Reef, you might be a little disappointed.

Osprey is the new upgrade in evolution, making comfort more valuable! It has an open design on the top floor, so you can have a panoramic view of the entire journey. No matter where you go, you can see two Great Barrier Reefs at sea, namely Hastings Reef, Saxon Reef or Norman Reef. The water here is extremely clear, and you can clearly see the coral reefs and fish below. Evolution is carefully equipped with professional staff to guide snorkeling, and also provides free deep-sea diving courses (learning how to use the diving equipment on the boat) to provide you with high-quality services!

In addition, the departure point of Evolution is Cairns Pier, and most urban hotels can be reached within a short walking distance. Moreover, transportation in the city is convenient, and there are many transportation routes to Cairns Pier, so the package usually does not include shuttle bus, which is very cost-effective!
