Tour Information
Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is not one continuous reef, but made up of over 2900 reefs and 900 islands. It is the largest reef structure and marine park in the world. So large in fact that it is visible from the moon!
The Great Barrier Reef first began to grow about 18 million years ago. Since this time, various geological events such as Ice Ages and low seawater levels have interrupted reef growth. The reefs we see today have grown on top of older reef platforms during the last 8000 years.
