Reef Run (Day 3)

We woke up to mint conditions, while having our morning cuppa we decided to go out to the reef.

What an epic way to finish an amazing 3 days on the Franklin Islands.

On the way to Scott’s Reef on the GBR, we spotted a beautiful mum humpback whale and her calf. We got a few pics, but they went deep quickly.

In less then half an hour we were on the reef. Fishing, snorkeling and just being stunned at its beauty. Lachlan said “ I try to tell people about coming out to the reef, but it doesn’t matter what I say I can’t explain how beautiful it is” 😍. Some things you just have to see for yourself to fully understand it’s beauty.

And you wouldn’t believe it, on our way home we saw more whales 🐳. This time it was too grown ups and they were just laying contently in the water, they looked like they were kissing. I don’t think they liked our intrusion as one came right towards us and then they both went deep.

What an amazing 3 days, whales, snorkeling the GBR, manta rays and some epic shells.Read more
