Islands of the Great Barrier Reef

Few natural wonders command such attention as the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest 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 spectacular 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. Whatever your style, your choices are endless, with your Island of the Great Barrier Reef experience guaranteed to be one that will live with you forever.

There is such a diverse array of islands along the Queensland coastline to complement your ideal Great Barrier Reef experience: ecological, luxurious, natural or secluded.
