While planning a vacation most of the people like to
go and visit a place which is exciting, adventurous and a place which is not
ordinary. The world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef in Australia is clearly
a place which has been fascinating people all over the world. Known as the
largest coral reef system in the world with an area of 344,400 square
kilometres, it is composed of over 2,900 individual reefs, 900 islands and
stretches for about 2,300 kilometres in length. Located in the Coral Sea off
the coast of Queensland ,it has been labelled as one of the seven natural
wonders of the world. It is interesting to realize that this reef system which
is as big as the Great Wall of China and can be clearly visible from the outer
space. But all the factual descriptions do not do justice to the actual beauty
and unique biodiversity of this structure which is entirely made up of billions
of tiny organism known as coral polyps and
this makes it the world’s largest living structure. Every year millions
visit Australia and for most of them GBR remains on top of the wish list.
To see this wonderland the first pre requisite is to
find a well-established tour company who will be able to show the tourists all
the natural attractions within a fixed time and let them enjoy some fun filled
and relaxing activities. Though there are a large number of tour agencies
operating in this area, most of them choose Sunset Safaris, the most popular
name in the region. The tour packages they offer are pretty varied,
all-inclusive and totally affordable. The tour starts from Brisbane, Gold Coast
and Sunshine Coast and their super comfortable 4WD coaches take the visitors to
their destination with a stopover at Mamminos for some delicious homemade ice
creams and farm fresh sugar cane available during the season and a break
journey at an Australian animal zoo where the entry is free for the tour
members. Here they get a chance to hand feed kangaroos, cuddle a koala, see the
crocodile feeding and the show of some of the most venomous snakes in the
country. In GBR your tour itinerary will be filled with sightseeing but you
will have enough time to indulge in some interesting optional activities like
taking a Segway tour, scuba diving, reef fishing, playing tennis and visiting
the Bundaberg rum factory. To give you a feel of the place the visitors are
taken on the biggest and most luxurious boat in the region and later to the
Lady Musgrave Island, the largest coral cay in Great
Barrier Reef Tours. The fully guided snorkelling tour will take you
under water and you can see a wide variety of reef fishes, colourful corals,
sea turtles and playful dolphins. For those, who are not comfortable with
snorkelling can take the glass bottom boat tour to see the beauty and wonders
of this huge marine park.
The Great
Barrier Reef Packages come with a lot of free stuff that make it so
attractive and they include a free tour of MON REPOS turtle conservation
centre, free tour of the snorkelling school, guided coral cay walk and fish
feeding tour. In the turtle conservation centre you can have live turtle
encounter during the season and learn about the measures taken for the
protection of the endangered loggerhead turtles. During the whale season you
will have a wonderful time watching these friendly giants of the sea, the
singing Humpback whales and the Mink whales.
With all meals including an Australian barbeque being
made available, comfortable accommodations and with the tour guides looking
after all your requirements , the Sunset Safari’s GBR tours are not only exciting ,they are rewarding in all possible ways.
