Everyone thinks of the water when they think of Airlie Beach but the rain forest is just as beautiful. Its thousands of years old, there is fantastic flora and fauna and you might see a wallaby or two.

I was worried about going out to the reef and getting into the water as I am not the best swimmer, but no problems at all. All the equipment, life jacket etc is given out along with instructions by the lovely staff on Reef Magic Cruises. Once I was comfortable with the snorkeling, in I went and magic it was.... More
