Great Barrier Reef

  • 4h
  • Admission ticket included
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system and one of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders. Stretching over 2,300 kilometres along the Queensland coast, it is home to thousands of species of marine life, including colourful coral gardens, tropical fish, sea turtles, giant clams and reef sharks. Sunlover's Moore Reef pontoon, located on the Outer Reef, offers crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral formations and excellent visibility, making it an ideal location for snorkelling, diving and scenic flights. Viewing the reef from above by helicopter reveals the incredible scale, patterns and vivid colours of this World Heritage-listed environment, while in the water guests can experience the reef up close among thriving marine ecosystems.
