What is the best location for April snorkeling in eastern Australia? We’re going to be in the area in 2026 (Sydney, Melbourne, etc…) and, as long as we are there, we would love to do a little snorkeling. We’ve done quite a bit of snorkeling in the Caribbean and Hawaii over the last 30 years and have seen too much bleaching/degradation recently.
But if there are some relatively easy-to-access and still good places north of Brisbane, we’re in! We assume that we’d probably need to rent stinger suits and sign up for a tour. Any ideas to share?
Thank you.
Cairns in northeast Australia is the center of all multiday trips to the Great Barrier Reef. We flew into Cairns from Sydney, stayed one night there and in the morning loaded the boat for three days GBR snorkeling. AMAZING!!!
