The Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef ecosystem, located on the North-Eastern Coast of Australia is a remarkable beauty. It is spread over an area of about 344,400 square kilometres and includes more than 2900 reefs and 900 islands. Do you know it’s the largest living organism that one can see from the outer space? Yes! The coral reef is a spectacular natural enchantment.
Listed as a World Heritage Site since 1981, it is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. The landscapes are captivating, the beaches are clear, islands are beautiful and coral cays are out of the world. So, a Great Barrier Reef vacation will allow nature to colour your spirits.
There are a myriad of activities you can enjoy once you visit the reef, namely Whale and Turtle-Watching, Coral Cay Walk, Snorkelling, Scuba Diving and more. It is considered one of the ultimate Australian adventure tours by the visitors.
So, let’s see what makes the Great Barrier Reef holidays so unique and special:
You can swim in the clear waters of the reef watching the colourful fishes, corals, turtles and molluscs in a fully guided manner. We’re talking about Snorkelling. You can be as close to the marine animals as you want to be in your Great Barrier Reef tours.
During your snorkelling tour, you can also watch turtles being cleaned by little fishes at the turtle cleaning station. Such a beautiful relationship to behold! Isn’t it? Sunset Safaris’ Great Barrier Reef Packages include activities that are life enriching.
The period from June to November is the whale season at the reef where you can see the mighty Humpback and Minke Whales. It is the Whale-Watching activity. A friendly encounter with the largest mammals in the world is something you wouldn’t want to miss. So, look for the Great Barrier Reef holidays packages of the Sunset Safaris if you want to experience the greatness of these mammals.
At the coral reef, if you do not learn about the life cycle of the corals, would it be a worth-it holiday? We don’t think so. So, with the Coral Cay Walk activity, you can learn all you want about them and see how complex yet beautiful life they have. You can even get down your boat during your visit and see the corals closely. The Great Barrier Reef tour packages with this activity are sure to enrich your life with the most educative and informative experience.
For people who do not want to get themselves wet yet want to see how beautiful life is underwater, the Glass-Bottom Boat Ride is perfect for them. A simple ride on such boats will introduce you to the different marine species and we’re sure you’ll love them.
The Great Barrier Reef Holidays can let you watch the sea turtles in a thoroughly enjoyable experience. They crawl up to the beach to lay eggs in the sand and it is a wonderful sight to behold. Also, when baby turtles hatch from those eggs and make their way into the sea, it is an even beautiful view. However, you can enjoy the Live Turtle Encounter only when you book the Great Barrier Reef packages during the months November to March.
In case you visit the reef in the off-season, you can travel to the Mon Repos Turtle Conservation Centre. You can collect all the information about the life cycle of the Mon Repos turtles as well as learn about the conservation efforts of the Loggerhead turtles. The Great Barrier Reef holidays packages make sure you enjoy the turtle show anyhow!
The reef has diving opportunities in store for all kinds of divers. No matter you’re a first-timer, beginner or an experienced one, you can enjoy the Scuba Diving activity at the reef. You will be able to see how rich in flora and fauna the ecosystem is. Your diving experience will be life-changing and you’ll realise it is one of the ultimate Australian adventure tours for all the right reasons.
If you want to see how serene yet fun it can be if you’re close to Mother Nature, a Great Barrier Reef vacation is a must!
