Question

im visiting the barrier reef in april, and which is better for a family, ive never been snorkelling, not too good with deep water, and get seasick kinda

which is better to go to in terms of snorkeling /seasickness/thinhgs to do, etc...

Answer 1

If I was you I would do Green Island - that is a 50 min boat ride and if you are prone to sea sickness, best to stick to a short boat ride.   There is lovely restaurants on Green Island and snorkeling is fine there for a first timer.   They even have a small zoo so if you want to see a croc up close!

Quicksilver you have to go on a bus from Cairns city, to Palm Cove or Port Douglas then a long boat ride, Great Adventures leaves right in town next to the Esplanade

Answer 2

quicksilver deffa

Answer 3

Quicksilver.

Answer 4

Personally ive only been to Green Island.

I loved it, thought it was great, had a great time, lots to do an see. Great beach, ocean trees breeze and all. Paradise.

So, since ive only been there i can only recommend that. However, this was a good many years ago, so i don't know what could have changed lately.
