Great Barrier Reef Tours
The Great Barrier Reef has been named one of the seven natural wonders of the world and was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1981. It stretches a distance of over 2,300 km (1,420 mi) from the Torres Straight north of Australia to Fraser Island to the south and covers an area approximately 344,000² km (133,000² mi).
Much of the Great Barrier Reef is designated as a National Park and is home to many threatened and endangered species such as the dugong and green sea turtle. Thirty species of whales, dolphins and porpoises make annual migrations through this biosphere and over 1,500 fish species make it their permanent home.

Cape Tribulation and Daintree Tours
The Daintree Rainforest is over 135 million years old making it the oldest living rainforest on Earth. Just fifty kilometres to the north this ancient biosphere is easily accessible to day trippers by car or organised tour. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1988 it is one of the most complex ecosystems that exists today.
It is home to plants that are little changed from the Jurassic period such as the Idiospermum australienseas, more commonly known as the Idiot Fruit or Ribbonwood. There are 19 primitive flowering plant families left on Earth and 12 of them are endemic to the Daintree.
It is also where you will find an estimated half of all Australia’s bird species, a third of its mammal and frog species and a quarter of its reptile species.
