The scope of the reef is enormous - larger than the combined total area of Ireland and the United Kingdom. A day spent discovering the beauty of the reef is one that will stay with you forever. The world's largest marine park can be experienced by taking a cruise in a variety of different vessels to the thrill of a helicopter scenic flight over the reef. There are over 1,000 islands in the Great Barrier Reef, but the best are easily accessible from the mainland of Tropical North Queensland and coastal centers such as Cains, Port Douglas, Townsville, Mission Beach, Airlie Beach, Mackay, Rockhampton, Gladstone and Bundaberg. Some have diverse vegetation including rainforest, and are encircled by coral reefs.
Accommodation ranges from camping grounds and bungalows to luxurious resorts.
