Great Barrier Reef



The Great Barrier Reef, of the coast of Australia, is the world’s largest reef system and can be seen from outer space. Over 2,800 smaller coral reefs all make up the Great Barrier Reef. When visiting the Great Barrier Reef there are many activities that one can be a part of including: day tours, overnight and extended tours, snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing charters, glass-bottomed boat viewing, semi-submersibles and educational trips, cruise ships, beach hire and water sports, passenger ferries, whale watching and swimming with dolphins. More than thirty species of dolphins, whales and porpoises have been recorded in the Great Barrier Reef, along with six species of turtles and many other marine animals.
