Island Resorts of Australia and the Great Barrier Reef.

Queensland is fortunate indeed to be home to a large number of truly unique Islands Resorts along its coast. These Island Resorts are situated on islands ranging from small coral cays where you walk from the beach to the Great Barrier Reef to an island made of pure sand - World Heritage Listed Fraser Island. 

Each Australian Island Resort has it's own qualities and features and offer varied experiences and luxury.

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.

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on earth. It is made up of thousands and reefs and over seventy islands.

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. see more island resorts at Australian Island Resorts.  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.
