The Great Barrier Reef from the Air
In order to see the Great Barrier Reef from the Air we took the Wavepiercer cruise
ship "Quicksilver" on a 90 minute trip to the Agincourt reef
which is very close to Australia´s continental shelf where we moored over one of the most beautiful
sections of the Great Barrier Reef.
As we looked from the cruise ship from sea level we could not get a real view of the reef.
We decided that the only was to get a good view is from the air so we rented a helicopter ride
over the reef and then later snorkeled in and amongst the beautiful reefs.
We also took a mini sub on a gentle ride around the reef.
