The colourful coral and exotic marine life make this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If you prefer to appreciate the scenery from above the waterline, a sailboat tour is one of the best ways to explore the region. There are countless trips to choose from including excursions to the eternally popular Brampton, Keppel and Daydream Islands. Tours range from half-day cruises to several nights exploring the vast coral reefs.
Take your holiday sky high
The Great Barrier Reef is as magnificent from the air as it is from under the waves. Enjoy the tropical weather and panoramic views from a hot-air balloon, or take a scenic flight in a helicopter or seaplane.
If you're brave enough, you can skydive right onto the sand, falling from thousands of metres high! If you'd rather stay closer to ground level, luxurious cruise ships can treat you to a relaxing day out on the reef. Back on dry land, tours through the lush Daintree National Park offer an entirely different perspective of this fascinating region.
