Great Barrier Reef
While you can't drive to the great barrier reef, it's still a must see duing
your stay in Northern Queenland. Leave your rental car at the dock and enjoy an
amazing day by boat at the largest marine park in the world.
The Great Barrier Reef is the worlds greatest reef system, stretching more than
2000km along Queensland's north-east coast. As the worlds largest and most
complex reef system, it has thousands of individual coral reefs and hundreds of
continental islands, reef islands and cays, small bare sand cays, and permanent
vegetated cays.
Exploring the Great Barrier Reef is both exhilarating and easy. Naturally, you
can snorkel or scuba dive with equipment provided and a trained crew on hand to
assist, but did you know that you can also view the reef from the comfort of a
semi-submersible or underwater observatory? Every excursion is designed with
both swimmers and non-swimmers in mind. From the air its possible to capture a
birds-eye view of the magnificent reefs from scenic flights in both fixed wing
craft and helicopters.
The glamour of the Great Barrier Reef is unending; the wonder beneath the cobalt
sea a magnet that draws you irresistibly to a place of quiet
lagoonspalm-fringed beachesfaraway islands and the temperate waters of the
Australian tropics.
The biggest marine park in the world is home to an amazing array of creatures.
This World Heritage site is a protected area, so remember to take nothing but
photos and leave nothing but footprints - please!
