Australia
The Great Barrier Reef has an almost magical place in the minds of divers. Its 1,200 miles of coral atolls and islands are home to some of the world’s most renowned diving areas such as the Ribbon Reefs, Osprey Reef and the Coral Sea. The more remote areas can only be reached by live-aboard but there are plenty of sites for land-based divers to explore by day and return to the comfort of their hotels by happy hour. Experience the country’s unique nature and culture by visiting the aboriginal parks, outback camps and the spectacular coastal regions of Daintree National Park and Cape Tribulation. One of the most impressive ways to see the Great Barrier Reef is by helicopter or seaplane. Air tours can include deserted island picnics and a drop-off at the Kuranda’s World Heritage Rainforest with a return to Cairns via the Kuranda Scenic Railway.
