- The Great Barrier Reef of Australia.
Probably the Great Barrier Reef of Australia is the best known snorkeling site in the world. Not for nothing, it being the largest coral formation on the planet. Its extension of more than 2,300 kilometres / 1429 miles, more than 2,900 reefs and more than 1,000 different species of corals, are in themselves attractive enough to enjoy snorkeling.
Around two hundred different species of fish, turtles, crustaceans, cephalopods, in addition to the aforementioned corals, make up this idyllic natural environment. UNESCO declared the Great Barrier Reef a World Heritage Site, but pollution and climate change threaten it. For this reason, snorkeling trips can only be made in some locations and in a controlled way.
The best time to visit is during the dry months of the Australian winter, from June to October.
