Few natural wonders command such attention as the Great
Barrier Reef, the world’s greatest coral reef system. Those who see it never
forget it. Here, after all, is a spectacle so vast that it can be seen from the
moon.
What makes the reef so great is not just what’s beneath the
surface but also what’s above it - the Islands of the Great
Barrier Reef. On an island,
you can literally immerse yourself in one of the seven natural wonders of the
world. Time spent on a Great Barrier Reef Island is time out in one of the most
beautiful places on Earth. Some people merely see the Great Barrier Reef, other
get to truly experience it. From the exclusivity and unbridled luxury of
five-star resorts to the back-to-nature simplicity of tented accommodation in
sublime natural settings, the reef’s islands offer a retreat from the demands
of everyday life. Whichever you choose, you are guaranteed an experience that
will live with you forever.
There are many different islands along the vast stretch of
reef to complement your ideal Great Barrier Reef experience: ecological,
luxurious, natural, secluded. From these islands you can choose how you connect
with the reef. You can dive into it, snorkel through it, sail it, fish it and feel
it. You can swim with turtles or watch the whales play.
