Frequently Asked Questions
The best time to cruise the Great Barrier Reef is during the dry season, from May to October. During this period, you’ll experience sunny weather, calm seas, and better visibility for snorkelling and diving. However, cruises run year-round, and the wet season (November to April) can still offer fantastic experiences, especially with fewer crowds.
