My wife and I are flying to Sydney 2020 Feb. 6, and will board NCL Jewel to cruise Australia/NZ on Feb. 14.
I'd like to dive the GBR, so I understand we should fly to Cairns for a few days, before coming back to SYD. We're in late 50's, first time to Australia, so we'd like some sightseeing too. If going on liveaboard, I'm the only one diving. My non-diving wife can snorkel but only with guide and calm water. What are good 3 (max 4) day liveaboards?
Hotels in Cairns are a lot cheaper than Sydney. After we get on the cruise ship, it also stays one night in Sydney so we still have Feb. 15 to tour around Sydney. Should we spend most of the time around Cairns, or come back to SYD earlier?
Thanks.
