A 42 foot catamaran, Illusions, and its Captain, Joseph, took six of us and gave us a glimpse of The Whitsundays. It took two hours to get to the Great Barrier Reef and we snorkeled off one of the islands and then a sandbar. The day was fabulous! We saw large grouper, sea turtles, colorful coral, and many species of fish. I would love to spend some time sailing and living on a boat. I have always love these types of excursions.

Took a zodiac to the beach.
We snorkeled off the beach. Two from our party tried their hand at diving.
Our boat, The Illusion.
The beach had coral instead of sand.
