This morning we had to get up early again, at 6h30. We left the hostel at 7h30 and were on our boat, the Ocean Freedom, by 7h45. We left the harbour and headed to the reef, which took about an hour and fifteen minutes. When we got there, we went on a glass bottom boat tour to get some explanations about the reef and then went in to snorkel around. It was very nice, lots of fish around and some nice coral. It was really shallow where we were, so snorkeling was a good (and cheap) option. We saw a stingray, some batfish (they're huge!), lots of parrotfish and nemos! We had a nice lunch on the boat and then went to another part of the reef. There they took us to a tiny sand island (it took us 1 minute and 30 seconds to walk all around it, haha!) with beautiful white sand and turquoise water, from where we snorkeled back to the boat. We saw some more coral and fish, very nice! Then the boat took us back to Cairns and we headed back to the hostel. On the boat we met a very nice dutch/english couple that was staying in the same hostel, so we decided to have dinner with them. After dinner we went for drinks at the Woolshed, a bar that is actually typically English (they even played "summer of 69"!!). We had a great night!
Weather: sunny and warm, even though it started raining when we left the reef...
