Experience one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the
amazing Great Barrier Reef. This underwater botanical garden is one
of the most diverse ecosystems on earth. A living home to thousands
of marine plants and animal species stretching more than two
thousand kilometres along the Queensland Coast to form the world's
largest reef system.
The basis of the reef is the seemingly endless variety of corals,
displaying every conceivable color, shape and form. The gorgeous and
positively gaudy fish and other marine animals that live among the
coral reefs afford brilliant displays of multicoloured movement.
Giant clams and small shells, starfish and sea cucumbers, anemones,
turtles, eels, rays, sponges - there is just so much to see on the
spectacular Great Barrier Reef.
Cruising out across the Coral Sea to spend a day or even longer on
the Great Barrier Reef is a holiday highlight for every visitor.
Port Douglas is the nearest departure point for Low Isles and the
Great Barrier Reef tours on the Tropical North Queensland Coast.
The range of reef tours available means there is a trip to suit
everyone, whether you are a certified diver, novice diver,
snorkeller or non-swimmer and there are several different reef
destinations to choose from.
Tourism operators act as guardians of the largest world heritage
listed area in the world to ensure that use of the Great Barrier
Reef remains ecologically sustainable and world class.
