First-Time Visitor's Guide to the Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef spans 1,400 miles, meaning it can be enjoyed in seven Queensland regions, from Bundaberg, Capricorn and Gladstone at the Southern end, through Mackay and the Whitsundays and into Townsville and Tropical North Queensland in the North.

You can start by deciding on the type of experience for your clients, whether it's diving, snorkelling, or just taking in the breathtaking views from above. Then, choose a location to stay that caters to their preferences, whether it's a luxury resort or a more eco-friendly option.

With over 300 days of sunshine, Queensland is a year round destination. From June to October, travelers will experience temperatures from 17.5ºC (64ºF) - 29.5ºC to (85ºF) and excellent visibility under the water. The shoulder seasons of April to May or November to December are also a great choice, with plenty of sunshine and often some great deals.

Finally, it's best to consider booking a guided tour or excursion to ensure your clients make the most of their experience. There are many options to choose from, including glass-bottom boat tours, snorkelling trips, and even helicopter tours.
