This morning I had the first opportunity to appreciate the beautiful tropical landscape of our resort. The beach was just a five-minute walk away.

After breakfast, we headed to the Port Douglas Reef Marina for our 90-minute cruise to the Great Barrier Reef. Upon our arrival at the anchored platform, we had our choice of activities on/off the platform in addition to a buffet lunch. I rode the semi-submersible and walked in the underwater observatory and took pictures, while other folks chose snorkeling and scuba diving. I also had the opportunity to watch a wonderfully made video, “Ribbon of Life”, featuring the sea life of the ribbon reefs.

We managed to squeeze in a little souvenir shopping at the Marina before our return to our resort, where we were greeted by one of the several wallabies that freely wander the grounds.
