I'd have to go with the Pyramids too.

You know the thing about the barrier reef is that as huge as it is, you can only see one small section at a time, and going to visit it, you have no sense of its size. Underwater visibility is less than 100 feet in most cases. On the other hand, another large natural thing, the Grand Canyon, is big, and it looks big. The reef, however, is like being in the woods. You can be in a huge national forest, or you can be in a smaller regional park. Both appear pretty much the same from the inside.
