Best Snorkeling in Australia???

Question

What are the best spots to go snorkeling in Aust? I know the great barrier reef is really good but what spots specifically. And also what about the other states, i.e. WA and NT?

Answer 1

Try the Whitsundays.

Answer 2

Agree with dani  the snorkeling on WA coast is great.

Answer 3

Heron Island Queensland, it is fantastic there and its one place I would go back to over and over again

Answer 4

I can't help you with WA or NT, but if you go to Cairns in QLD, or anywhere up that part of the coast you'll be at the great barrier reef.

There are many little "resort" type islands off the coast and all of them offer snorkelling (among other water related activities).

I'm not sure if you're able to do much of it in NT, I'm sure there'd be places in WA that you could go snorkelling though

Answer 5

Western Australia has some great reefs - Pilbara and Ningaloo. Plus the coast and beaches there are beautiful, my favourite beaches in all of Aus
