ADD A SNORKEL SPOT

More of Australia

While Queensland and Western Australia are Australia’s best known snorkelling regions, there is plenty of great snorkelling in Australia’s cooler states and tropical territories.

Snorkellers in Tasmania can explore the sheltered bays in Freycinet National Park. The jetty and nearby Hopground beach on Maria Island are also great snorkel spots.

Australian territories like Lord Howe Island, Cocos Keeling Islands and Christmas Island have incredible snorkelling in warm, crystal clear water. Colourful corals and the huge diversity of marine life are the main attraction in these places.

The best snorkelling we have done was at Flying Fish Cove on Christmas Island and The Rip on Direction Island in the Cocos Island group is a close second. Lord Howe Island lagoon offers amazing snorkelling in sheltered waters metres from shore.
