Great Barrier Reef
The World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the largest living structure. It is visible from outer space and stretches over 2000 km in length along the Queensland coast of Australia.
The Whitsundays is located in the Heart of the Great Barrier Reef and is the perfect base to explore this aquatic wonderland. Visitors to the Great Barrier Reef can enjoy this bucket-list experience in many different ways. You can choose to swim, snorkel, dive, sail and fly over this natural wonder; you can even sleep there, either under the stars or in the only underwater hotel on the Great Barrier Reef!
You can choose from a myriad of vessels to transport you to the reef, from romantic old timber sailing boats to fast and sleek motor cruisers and everything in between. Or for a totally different perspective you can fly over the reef, including the most photographed reef in the world, Heart Reef, a natural heartshaped formation that can only be seen in The Whitsundays! This incredible formation has been the site of many proposals and declarations of love over the years.
