What’s better – paid for snorkel tours or snorkelling from the beach?
This is a tricky one and it all depends. Snorkel tours are definitely worth it! You will see the best corals on the offshore reefs, which are accessed on paid for snorkel tours. The downside, these must be booked in advance and operate at preset times throughout the day. Snorkelling from the beach, under the jetty, is good for marine life but there is not as much coral. On the upside, you can do this at any time during the day. If this was your only time / chance to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, then we strongly suggest taking a paid for snorkel tour.
