Frequently Asked Questions
The best time to visit the Great Barrier Reef is from June to October during the dry season. The weather is cooler, the waters are calmer, and visibility is at its peak, making it perfect for snorkelling and diving. The wet season (November to March) weather can be bit more unpredictable, but the reef can still be enjoyed – just be mindful of possible lower visibility and choppier waters.
