Great trip to the islands in the coral reef - Great trip to various islands with a very friendly crew who explained a lot. We saw a lot while snorkeling, corals and lots of fish. The highlight was two manta rays that swam around the boat as we said goodbye. Overall, a successful trip.

Our caravan park.
We were greeted by Leo who gave us a light breakfast with fresh muffins and tea and coffee.
Before arriving at Dunk Island Brian gave us suggestions on what to do for 2/1/2 hrs .
We chose to do a walking track to
a safe swimming beach and relax . Upon our return on board we took off to our secret Island.
At this time we enjoyed our chicken wraps with soft drinks and wine taking in the many Islands (yummy Chicken wraps . Afterwards Leo brought up a tropical large fruit platter for each of us.
We arrived on our secret island by a tender to relax and snorkel.
Before we returned to Dunk Island
