explore one of the natural wonders of the world
The largest coral reef on earth (so big it’s visible from space!) and one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef is comprised of hundreds of tropical islands, over 3,000 individual reef systems and an abundance of marine life. The ‘Reef’ deservedly sits high on a lot of bucket-lists and should be a part of any Australia itinerary.

SWIM, SNORKEL AND SAIL THIS LIVING MASTERPIECE
The large towns of Cairns and Port Douglas serve as gateways to the northern part of the reef, each offering endless excursions to explore. Cairns is the larger with a good range of restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. Port Douglas offers a quieter option with the beautiful Four-Mile Beach to enjoy. Laid-back Airlie Beach is a great base to explore the southern reef and beautiful Whitsunday Islands.
The Great Barrier Reef as a whole offers incredible snorkelling and diving opportunities with schools of multi-coloured tropical fish and all manner of marine life easily visible in the crystal-clear waters. The shallower ‘inner reefs’ are closer to the mainland and provide perfect conditions to observe turtles, manta rays and reef sharks. The ‘outer reefs’ are more popular with divers and offer the chance to spot larger species, including dolphins and whales.
The Whitsundays are a group of 74 gorgeous islands home to some of the clearest waters and finest beaches you’ll find anywhere in the world. Hamilton Island offers the perfect island escape, with spectacular scenery, a gorgeous stretch of beach and a huge variety of activities to keep the family entertainer – including go-karting, sailing and kayaking.
