Grab your mask and snorkel and join an unforgettable adventure with majestic manta rays and sea turtles, witness the birth of baby seahorses, participate in a coral watch expedition, and discover the exotic splendor of fluorescent corals at night as Great Barrier Reefcaptures the natural beauty and exquisite strangeness of this awesome, and vibrant living world.
