Coast: Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef stretches more than 2,300 kilometers off the coast of Queensland, forming the largest living structure in the world, visible even from space. Made up of thousands of individual reefs and hundreds of coral and white sand islands (such as the Whitsundays archipelago), it is a marine sanctuary of unrivaled biodiversity with tropical fish, turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and cetaceans. With vibrant base cities such as Cairns, Port Douglas and Airlie Beach, the region offers everything from world-class scuba diving to catamaran tours, scenic flights over the iconic Heart Reef and pristine beaches surrounded by rainforest.
