Destination introduction

Along the tropical north coast of Queensland lie hundreds of tiny islands, surrounded by sparkling turquoise waters amidst the spectacular Great Barrier Reef. North of the Whitsunday islands, Dunk, Orpheus and Lizard Islands are amongst those that have been sensitively developed so that guests need not only visit for a day, but can spend the night on a true hideaway island.

See our complete selection of idyllic Great Barrier Reef Island resorts.

Great Barrier Reef island favourites
•   Take a rainforest walk with a naturalist on Dunk Island, or enjoy its many activities from golf to watersports
•   Venture out on a snorkelling trip from Orpheus Island, on the resort's own 32-feet catamaran
•   Simply relax on one of World Class Lizard Island's 24 secluded white sand beaches

Shopping

Aborigine art is available in all major cities at every conceivable price. Shops selling duty-free goods are available so it’s worth looking at radios, photographic and electrical equipment, as well as clothes and perfumes. Your passport and ongoing ticket will prove that you’re eligible for duty-free although not always asked for. Souvenirs include the cuddly koala, boomerangs and the  Australian wide brimmed hat.
