Weird silence in the bus for 30 seconds. Drove for 45 minutes south of Cairns to board a big boat. Several other busses arrived. Perhaps 50-60 persons on the trip. Did a slow cruise down the river before hitting the ocean. Rain in the morning. It never rained on the islands according to our guide.
Once we got close to the island we got into smaller boats and were transferred to the beach. Stinger suit on we hit the waves and did a really good morning snorkling trip.
Turtle, fish, corals. Everything. Not too much sunshine but it really didn't do that much difference. It was great to experience a beautiful reef - "the right way".
Nice lunch on the beach, a guided walk on the island with a story about how the ecology is interconnected, how the island was created and that sort of information. Nice with a little insight for once. Transfer back to the big boat and the reverse story from the morning.
Cooking our own food for dinner - again. Nice. Got to get ready for our trip to Cape Tribulation and Daintree tomorrow.
