The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s great natural wonders. It is the largest reef in the world and consists of nearly 3000 individual reefs, 880 rainbow-coloured coral islands and hundreds and thousands of different types of plant, bird and marine life…a living masterpiece so big it can be seen from outer space.

Swimming with the fish and admiring the colours of the coral is a must for any holiday to the Great Barrier Reef. Outer reef scuba diving and island day trips are some of the more common pastimes on the reef along with scenic flights and rainforest tours to Kuranda and the Daintree Rainforest.

There are several gay-welcoming accommodation and tour providers all along the Tropical North Queensland coast. Also, gorgeous yachts await your charter for pleasure sailing and magical moments in “the greatest aquatic playground in the world.”
