great barrier reef
This natural wonder is as big as Britain and Ireland combined, has more than 1,000 islands, from sandy cays to rainforest isles, and supports prolific marine life. You can reach coral sites by air and water taxi, and scuba dive or snorkel. Click on the fact sheet below to discover comfortable accommodation available on secluded islands.


World Heritage marvel
The majestic coral structures that make up the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef extend over 2,500 kilometres from Cape York in the north and Bundaberg in the south. It has the most diverse animal and plant ecosystems on earth.

Tropical reef delights
As the reef meets the coast in Tropical North Queensland, access to explore the coral delights becomes easier. Between Townsville and Cairns, there are ideal setting-off points and many expeditions offered by dive companies and cruise operators.

Whitsunday coral gardens
Coral gardens lace nearly every Whitsunday island, offering sheltered spots for snorkelling, diving and relaxing line-of-sight sailing in the tropical waters. Visitors thrill to see the coral formation of Heart Shaped Reef at beautiful Hardys Reef.

Easy access to islands
Great Keppel and South Keppel islands offer resort or rustic getaways a boat ride from Yepoon. Heron Island, near Gladstone, is a seabird and turtle haven. The reef's two 'ladies' - Lady Elliott and Lady Musgrave - are handy for day trips or longer stays. more info ยป

Idyllic island escapes
In the reef's tropical northern waters, lush Green and Fitzroy islands are a day's excursion from Cairns. Popular Dunk Island is only minutes from Mission Beach, just north of Cairns, and Bedarra, Hinchinbrook and Orpheus islands lie dreamily nearby.
