Islands of the Great Barrier Reef

There are endless ways to experience the magnificence of life above the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef. Home to an abundance of native Australian wildlife, the hundreds of islands and coral cays, scattered throughout the 2000km-long Great Barrier Reef offer a uniquely spectacular natural setting for a holiday of a lifetime.

Swim off the beach into a coral wonderland where the waters are teeming with fish and other marine life. From any one of these islands, you can choose how you will personally connect with the reef, some of which may include overnight luxury cruises, snorkeling and diving, deep sea fishing, chartered sea plane joy flights, a swim with turtles or witnessing the majestic whales playing together offshore. You can expect the outdoors to be number one on your to-do list!

With an expanse of 35 million hectares, the World-Heritage Listed coral reef system, the largest of its kind, is a magical backdrop to immerse your self in all the Islands have to offer. Meander your way through the islands by catamaran, ocean-kayak to a secluded beach for a picnic lunch or bushwalk to an island peak and witness the breathtaking views of your surrounds.
