The islands resorts are
ideally suited for honeymooners, families, divers and snorkellers - in
fact anyone looking for an idyllic, exotic, tropical, and pristine holiday
destination.
When you want absolute luxury
you can try Lizard Island Resort, Orpheus Island Resort, and Bedarra
Island Resort. For Scuba divers and snorkellers there is Heron Island
Resort or Lizard Island Resort.
All of the island resorts are
a great place for a stress free holiday and a unique experience.
Some
of the resorts are situated right on or
near the Great Barrier Reef.
The Great Barrier Reef stretches more than 2000 kilometres along the coastline of Queensland.
More than 2900 individual reefs and 71 coral islands make up the Great Barrier Reef. Islands and reefs are
typically in remote locations. Access is via resort stays, day trips with tour operators or self-sail rentals.
The waters of the Great Barrier Reef provide the world's busiest and most varied marine habitats.
Marine life is in
abundance and perfect for diving and snorkelling. The varied colours of the reef's fish and other marine life will
astound the visitor with colour combinations that artists haven't even dreamed of.
Several islands of the Great Barrier Reef are built on coral cays and many have their own fringing reef and national
parks are common on the islands and park rules apply.
Island resort activities vary according to the locale and style of each resort.
Typical activities are swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, coral viewing, reef walking, sailing, yacht charter, jet
skiing, parasailing, sailboarding, kayaking, catamarans, canoes, big game fishing and whale watching.
The Great Barrier Reef is of such pristine condition that it was listed as by the World Heritage Trust as a protected
site and is therefore managed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Authority to ensure that its beauty is maintained
for many generations to come.
