If you're into: scuba diving, snorkelling, golf, white water rafting, tennis, water-skiing on the lake, windsurfing, parasailing, horse riding adventures, swimming, sky diving, bungy jumping, rainforest hikes, hill climbing, viewing coral and marine life in a semi-submersible and a myriad of other great outdoor and underwater excitement, then this is the place to do it all. On our site you will find accommodation from budget hotels to luxury resorts.

With summer almost all year around (during our winter, day time temperatures remain around 26 - 27 degrees Celsius), you can dive virtually 365 days of the year. Local divers say the best time is October, November and December, with water temperatures around 29 degrees Celsius and visibility between 20 and 30 (up to 50) metres most days. January through to March can be a little wet, as it is our monsoon rain season. With rain in the early mornings and late afternoon.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is where you can enjoy the immense beauty, colour and richness of a truly natural underwater wonder. Two natural wonders actually. The Wet Tropics Rainforest is just a stones throw from any of the towns in the tropical Far North of Australia. Feel the salt spray whilst lazing on the tropical beaches or smell the clean fresh air on the picturesque tablelands plateau.

Reef Snorkelling
