Sail & Dive The Great Barrier Reef is pure enchantment. Not only does it delight the senses but it casts a spell over all who enter. 
Stretching through the sapphire blue waters of Queensland for over 2000 kilometers, the Great Barrier Reef is the most extensive coral reef system in the world.

The Great Barrier Reef is not a single reef, but features more than 2900 individual reefs and 900 islands. Some of these islands are deserted while others are small bare sand cays, permanently vegetated cays and continental islands. The warm waters off Queensland offer some of the best boating

sure. I can not remember a day better spent, nor a day that was more
fulfilling. Captain & Crew provided our small party with every need
