I did this tour last year with a guide, so this time when some friends were down, we did the self-guided tour. The staff was very friendly and helpful, she supplied us with a bottle of water and a map, plus pointed out some landmarks to keep us on track. We were fortunate enough to spot some jellyfish floating by, as well as plenty of sea life when we snorkled. Bring at least two bottle of water with you, sunscreen, hat and sunglasses. Bring some bread or crackers to feed the horde of hermit crabs you'll see on the short hike to the barrier reef and the blowhole rock formations.
