The rainy season in the Great Barrier Reef has high humidity and cloudy waters. Temperatures can be 30-40 degrees, with water temperatures of 32 degrees. Sounds ideal, if not for all the rain and storms!
You won’t find any problems booking snorkeling tours in the Great Barrier Reef during wet season, and they’ll often take you to sections of the reef where waters are calmer and clearer. That said, boat trips still often get cancelled due to storms, and visibility is nowhere near as good as in the dry season.
If you have no choice but to book your Great Barrier Reef trip in the rainy season it’s not all bad. It usually rains only in early mornings and at night, but beware of deadly box jellyfish!
This is the best time to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, with cooler weather of about 25-degrees and water temperatures of 24-degrees. The best snorkeling can be done between June and October, with crystal clear waters that let you enjoy the reef at its fullest.
Beware that is the peak season though, so if you want to snorkel the reef with less crowds then shoot for April or May. Snorkeling is still great with good water conditions and temperatures, less crowds, but a little lower visibility.
Protip: Humpback whales migrate along the Queensland coastline during July and September, an exceptional sight if you catch it! You can also catch coral spawning once a year, after the October/November full moon.
The answer is: too many! Traditional snorkel masks can be uncomfortable and scary for many people, so the beauty of snorkelling goes undiscovered and unexperienced. Whether it's breathing difficulties, choking on sea water, or foggy goggles, there's a lot that prevents people from enjoying the wonderful sport of snorkelling. And that thought makes us sad.
We think everyone should be able to enjoy the underwater world - safely, comfortably, and easily. That's why we created Ninja Shark and our revolutionary line of full face snorkel masks. They're designed to be super comfy, easy-to-use, and make snorkelling accessible for all. Because nobody should miss out on discovering what's under the sea.
NINJASHARK is the sound of a revolution in snorkeling. Whereas other water equipments companies are constantly adding poor quality products, we listen to your feedback and constantly improve our products to fit for all of your needs.
While other water equipments companies offer just a way to look under the water, NINJASHARK wants to create an amazing experience for water enthusiasts. That's why we listen to your feedbacks and we develop products based on them.
The Influencer @lud.around doesn’t believes just in snorkelling, but in the entire experience of it. When NinjaShark asked her what is in her beach bag everytime she goes on a vacation, she said, “Ninja Shark: I'm not leaving my room without the mask. The full face snorkeling mask from Australia is comfortable and fit me perfectly! Love how easy it is to breath out your nose and mouth when you snorkeling and even has earplugs! ”
“The mask include GOPRO mounts, so you can easily film and photograph underwater scenery! I highly recommend especially to people who have a fear of snorkeling! This mask is really easy to use and is safe!” said @lud.around. “I can’t wait for my next trip with my new mask!”
The Ninja Shark full face snorkel masks comes equipped with advanced Anti-Fog technology, automatic drainage, no CO2 Buildup with improved uni-directional valves, and a revolutionary breathe flow system so you can breathe through both your nose and mouth.
Our founder Andrew and Alizee are lifelong entrepreneurs and happy husband and wife. Andrew, is the visionary and marketing genius behind Ninja Shark. He’s always loved to swim and explore vast open waters, whether that be in a river, lake, or sea. Since he started snorkelling with a full face mask and flippers, however, his fascination with the underwater world has become unstoppable. Andrew always says: “The sea will be conquered!”
Alizee, is first and foremost a child of the land and avid hiker, with her passion for mysterious underwater life coming in second. In her past life (as in, before Ninja Shark life), Alizee created and sold a real estate company and managed the backend of numerous other businesses. She’s the glue that keeps Ninja Shark from busting at the proverbial seams as it grows from its current state of small Aussie family business. She’s the business brain, taking care of all things logistical and numeric, she’s the “life saver of the company”.
Ninja Shark started out more as a passion than a business.
Since Andrew and Alizee loved to go underwater so much, they tried to take their friends with them. We’ve all been in that situation where we try to share an incredible experience with loved ones, and that’s where Andrew and Alizee were at. But every so often, they’d come across someone who just couldn’t manage to breathe through a tube with their nose blocked (i.e, snorkelling).
It’s a wide held belief amongst the general public that snorkelling can be a little difficult. It’s fair enough – breathing seems unnatural with a snorkel, and the mouthpiece might be considered uncomfortable or unhygienic. The mask’s field of vision can be quite narrow, and when it fogs up you don’t really get to enjoy the underwater marvels so much.
You might be reading this as a snorkeller and scoffing, but it’s all true! Many studies have been conducted on the beaches of Europe, China, and Brazil, and the results all share the same sentiment: snorkelling is often considered difficult by the general public.
So, that was what started Andrew and Alizee off on their journey, where they eventually found the concept of a full face mask. Although the idea was already on the market, it was in its early beginnings, and they had to be sure it was something worth recommending to their friends.
Andrew and Alizee tested at least 6-7 types of full face masks, each with their own unique differences. They were surprised to find so much variation between the different types of full face masks, despite it being a relative newcomer to the scene.
Over the next 12 months, Andrew and Alizee worked tirelessly writing down, testing, adapting, studying, and testing again, to come up with the most advanced full face mask on the market.
And that’s how Ninja Shark can offer you the numerous improvements made to the special v2.0 Full Face Mask Model.
“Awesome set
Loved the complete set. I even used the waterproof phone pouch to take photos and videos underwater. It made my Fiji experience so much better than using the free snorkel set that hurt your face after 2hours and leaving a sun/mask mark. The ninja leaves no marks and gives great vision under water in comparison. It did take some getting used to but it definitely paid off! Only frustration is that the tightening straps are quite basic; they should be much simpler to loosen and tighten both in and out of water.” – Jock

Man I’ve been looking for these for soo long!!!
I can’t wait to go to Cairns and do with my partner!
There is nothing quiet like snorkelling! I think its the sound for me, or the lack of! All you can here is fish making their noises, specially those parrot fish! It takes you out of your world for a moment and is so therapeutic!
I’m so keen to see more of Australia. Will be buying this mask for my partner’s bday gift and hoping to win one myself just in time for our next trip just after Christmas. Have previously seen parts of the reef with hired snorkel gear and it just doesn’t do the job! Can’t wait to try ninjashark!
Anytime is the best time to see this wonderful natural wonder of the world.
The Great Barrier Reef is one place I am wanting to go to very soon.
Snorkelling the great barrier reef was by far one of the most exciting and wonderful experiences I’ve had in my life so far.
I’m not overly a fan of the traditional snorkelling masks but we made it work.
I wish I had one of these masks as I have read so mny positive reviews with them and have seen others whilst on holidays using them and thought what a wonderful idea.
These masks truly would have made the experience better than it was just by the ease and simplicity these masks give.
I can’t wait for my kids to use these as I believe this will help them snorkel quicker and more confidently. They can focus on swimming rather than trying to breathe and wrestle with the traditional types.
Looks like I’ll just have to make another trip to the GBR with my new masks when I get them 😁 any excuse will do I reckon…
I can’t wait to get snorkelling. Getting the gear now for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree (I hope) in 2021.
Swimming with turtles is a must for me – been wanting to do this since I was a kid.
These tips you have in the blog are something I’d also love to experience so thank you for these.
‘Humpback whales migrate along the Queensland coastline during July and September, an exceptional sight if you catch it! You can also catch coral spawning once a year, after the October/November full moon.’
I can’t wait to start exploring the underwater world.
I will be buying one of these masks before our next reef visit. I really struggled trying to use a regular snorkel. I’m not a good swimmer and to struggle with breathing as well made the experience not as great as it could have been. I really want to see it all again without the hassle of trying to breath through my mouth and choking because I can’t. I also like the mounted camera, I had one attached to my wrist and it hit me in the head. Also no photos, more worried about my breathing and the constant emptying and refitting of my mask.
I cannot wait for the border restrictions to be lifted to finally explore the great barrier reef
I struggle to breathe with normal snorkel gear. Waiting to win the Ninja Shark snorkel package so I can snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef.
See the reef… before it disappears.
Thanks for the guide about when to head to the Great Barrier Reef. I’ve been before some years ago and though I struggled with the snorkeling gear, I rushed home and demanded my sister come with me next time (oh, there is going to be a next time!!). Work and life has gotten in the way, but this blog has reignited our desire to go. We’re planning for a trip next year (I’m thinking June as the water will be clear as crystals)!
I’ve snorkelled in the Great Barrier Reef back in November 2016 to celebrate my birthday. I went with just ordinary snorkelling gear. Didn’t really like breathing through my mouth using the mouthpiece and I gel uncomfortable with my nose all covered up with the snorkel mask. I felt I was suffocating. I ended up just using my goggles and held my breath as long as I could lol This year on my birth month, November, I’m heading out to the good old Great Barrier reef and hopefully I’ll get to enjoy it more with the ninjashark face mask. 😍 When I saw the ad for it on social media, I thought that this was a Godsend! Perfect solution to my snorkelling woes. I’ll get to finally breathe comfortably and enjoy viewing the marine life with all its glory. ❤️
