Great Barrier Reef

The largest reef system in the world, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is a varied and extraordinary paradise. You don’t need to be an expert diver, enthusiastic snorkeller or confident swimmer to explore the remarkable marvels of Queensland's underwater wonderland. You can gaze at the reef’s rich ecosystems from observatories under the surface without getting wet, or on board a submersible. For young children wanting to spot the colourful creatures and coral below, a guided glass-bottom boat tour is a fantastic option. An alternative to exploring under the waves, you can fly or sail above it. Hop aboard a helicopter to swoop out across the piercing blue sea and take in the ethereal 1,400 miles of beautiful reef.

If you want to get in the water, you can snorkel from the shore or dive off a boat to find the Great Eight: clownfish, sharks, manta rays, Maori wrasse, potato cods, giant clams, turtles and whales. Or your passion may be educational, and you can learn about the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef with a Master Reef guide.

For people with more time, an indulgent option is to undertake a sailing adventure, which is one of the most unique ways to experience the reef. For exceptional sailing journeys we recommend cruising around the incredibly scenic Whitsunday Islands - one of the safest sailing grounds in the world.

The natural beauty of the Great Barrier Reef ensures that no trip to Australia is complete without adding this to the itinerary. The options above merely scratch the surface of what is on offer in the magical destination.
