AMAAAAAZING!
If you are heading up to Cairns and are looking for something to do, I would HIGHLY recommend you take a flight. I'm not big on boats or snorkeling but still wanted to see the Reef and this was a great option. Luke, Owen and the team at Daintree Air Services are lovely. The flight over the Reef makes you realise how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. We saw turtles and manta ray swimming around, as Owen was able to get us quite low. STUUUUNING. Do this!!!
