Great Barrier Reef tours & holidays

Introducing the greatest reef on Earth

Large enough to be seen from space and listed as a site of remarkable natural beauty, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is a place to explore over and over again. Offering incredible sights both above and below sea level, the over 2500 reefs and 900 islands are a protected home to everything from the dugong and large green turtle to the tiny clown fish and giant humpback whale. Choose to get into the action at the best secret diving spots or get a look through a glass-bottom boat with the expert guidance of a marine biologist. You won’t see it all in one go, but there’s always next time.

Seeing these incredible animals breach, spray water into the air and slap their tails on top of the water is an experience not to be missed.
