It was raining for our ride out to the island on their "ferry" , so the ride was pretty rough. Luckily I felt more secure on this larger boat than I did on our last snorkeling trip in Port Douglas, even though the ride was as bad, if not worse. The boat had very comfy seats, a tv where they showed a DVD about the Great Barrier Reef to entertain us and a bar. What more do you need for a 2 hour boat ride?

Our home for the 9 days:
Even though there were quite a few people staying on the island, we barely saw people out on the beach or snorkeling too often. It was great! We could snorkel right from the beach but the water was COLD! Even with my wetsuit on, I was shivering for the first 5-10 minutes in the water. Then I got lost in the beauty of the reef and the wonderful sea creatures!

It was a very relaxing stay. I don't think I have even lived that long without tv, as I am a tv junkie. We had our House DVD's to catch up on using our laptop so that took the edge off.
