Australia's Great Barrier Reef is absolutely huge, in fact, it is the only living organism on Earth that is visible from Space. Over 1,900 Kms (1,200 miles) long, it runs from the top of Australia at Cape York, right down to just above of the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane. Our Map of Cairns, The Great Barrier Reef, Whitsundays, Daintree Rainforest, Kuranda will throw it into perspective. Cairns is often the access point for a visit to the Great Barrier Reef, and the Australian.com Map of Cairns Australia will help you find your way around. There is an extremely wide range of Hotels and Accommodation in Cairns and our booking comparison search engine will help you make the right choice.
Trips to the Great Barrier Reef for Diving and Snorkeling.
To access the Great Barrier Reef it is necessary to travel offshore quite a distance. The best way for most visitors to see the Reef is on one of the excellent Great Barrier Reef Day Tours from Cairns found at
Cruises, Sailing & Water Tours Cairns & the Tropical North, but if you are a serious SCUBA diver, the tours we offer on this section of Australian.com are not really suitable. If you want to snorkel, or take a refresher or introductory SCUBA dive, then a
Great Barrier Reef Diving and Snorkeling Cruise from Cairns is the way to go. Many of the Great Barrier Reef Trips have facilities for introductory SCUBA dives with their dive staff, but they should be booked in advance to make sure you are included, and the proper equipment is available on the day.
