Just as beautiful as snorkelling
I thought that snorkelling would be better than flying because you’d get to see the parts of the Great Barrier Reef up close, but flying above the water is as beautiful as that. You can see everything from afar while looking at the details, and you can see the structure of the reef. The photo opportunities were great.
