Great Keppel Island

Spoiling visitors with its unbridled natural beauty, Great Keppel Island is the largest of the eighteen islands in the Keppel Group that sit off of the Queensland coastline. The island is a proverbial paradise, rife with lush coral gardens, cool blue waters, and sun-saturated beaches.  A suitable getaway for both singles and family’s with children, the island is outfitted with a plethora of attractions and activities, from beholding the abundant wildlife visible on Great Keppel’s many walking trials to taking a snorkeling excursion below its crystal clear waters.

Lizard Island

Rising above the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef, not far from Cooktown, Lizard Island’s prolific coral reefs have long been its claim to fame and a refuge for those with a love for the outdoors.  For years on end the island has been regarded as a hotspot for marine life, gaining international repute amongst those with a penchant for deep-sea diving.  Whether you’re looking for an ultra-exclusive resort getaway or something more akin to camping-out, Lizard Island guarantees an unparalleled tropical experience, regardless of accommodations.

Fitzroy Island

Sitting in the Great Barrier Reef— the world’s largest structure built by living organisms—the perfectly pristine nature of Fitzroy Island National Park is protected under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. This means that the island serves not merely a tourist attraction, but also a haven for die-hard nature lovers worldwide.  A mere twenty-two km from the coast of Cairns, Queensland, the island qualifies as a day trip destination for those interested in taking a saunter up one of the many walking trails, snorkeling in lukewarm waters, or reclining seaside at one of island’s many fully-outfitted resorts.

Lady Eliot

For the ultimate Great Barrier Reef experience, visit the small and secluded tropical island of Lady Elliot, accessible via the city of Bundaberg.  Its pristinely preserved natural life and warm coastal waters serve as the perfect environment for a tropical getaway.  Regarded by many as offering its visitors with some of the best snorkeling in the Reef, the surrounding waters are teeming with literally hundreds of species of marine life, from colorful tropical fish to its famous outsized turtles.
