Where else can you have the choice of 26 island resorts, spread across over 600 islands? From unique and exotic islands to the Whitsundays and the remarkable Northern Islands of the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland will redefine your idea of paradise.

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is the world’s most extensive coral reef system and has long been an iconic experience for international visitors to Australia.

As one of the 7 natural wonders of the world it is on many travellers “to do” lists.

Under it, on it, in it, above it – there are so many ways to experience this magical wonder and the crystal clear waters surrounding it.

The reef spans three-quarters of Queensland’s east coast – from between Maryborough and Bundaberg in the south, to beyond Cape York in the far north. It stretches 2300km of coastline and is made up of more than 2500 individual reefs and 600 islands. Oh, and it is the largest World Heritage area and it can even be seen from outer space!

There are 26 different island resorts to stay on which can complement your Great Barrier Reef experience – ecological, luxurious, natural, secluded... Choices range from the exclusivity and luxury of 5 star resorts to the back-to-nature simplicity of tented accommodation in sublime natural settings. So whether you want luxury or simplicity, a romantic hideaway or somewhere for the family, there is an island to suit you. From these islands you can choose how you connect with the reef. You can dive into it, snorkel through it, sail it and fish it. You can swim with turtles or watch the whales play. And, so much more...

Some people merely see the Great Barrier Reef; others get to truly experience it.
