#4 Australia To Do things For Family vacations, In a Relationship, and Married couples is the Great Barrier Reef In Cairns!!!

Cairns is the closest gateway to the Great Barrier Reef - the world’s largest, most spectacular coral reef system - where diving, snorkelling, sailing, cruising and island hopping are a part of everyday life.

Here you can discover a whole new underwater world and greet over 6,600 species of flora and fauna, including 1,500 species of fish, 4,000 species of molluscs and 400 types of coral. Over 50 tours depart for the Great Barrier Reef and islands daily from Cairns, Port Douglas and Mission Beach -the only hard part about getting to the Great Barrier reef is deciding which boat to go on!



Great Barrier Reef tours and cruises offer a range of activities including snorkelling, introductory or certified scuba diving, and live aboard dive courses with multi lingual, professional tutorage. For those who prefer to stay dry, spacious pontoons, semi submersible and glass bottom vessels provide popular introductions to the Great Barrier Reef, and helmet dives and motorised underwater scooters allow you to reach the ocean floor without getting your hair wet! They make fantastic holiday photos, too.



In Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, escaping to a tropical island is not a dream, it’s a reality. From uninhabited secluded retreats to lively islands full of day trippers, luxurious island resorts to beach camp sites; all of our 17 islands are pearls of the Great Barrier Reef. But don’t just take our word for it – come and see for yourself!
