The most extensive coral complex on the planet, stretching 1,400 miles from north to south, is home to a diversity of species rivalled only by tropical rainforests. Rolled into an underwater world of unbelievable beauty, the reef, its kaleidoscope of multicoloured corals and astonishing marine life are best explored by scuba diving and snorkelling. It is also surrounded by some 2,000 tiny islands, including the emerald green Whitsunday's with their blindingly white beaches and mountainous landscapes. Just twenty are inhabited, furnishing visitors with the glorious option of staying on a piece of tropical paradise in the lap of five star luxury.
