A World Heritage listed site and the largest living thing on Earth, the Great Barrier Reef is rich with coral and teeming with marine life. Explore intricate coral gardens, see brightly-coloured tropical fish, molluscs and maybe even visiting reef sharks, dolphins and turtles. Board a high-speed catamaran, enjoy an informative presentation by a marine naturalist, the outer Great Barrier Reef is just 90 minutes away.
