Welcome TO THE SOUTHERN GREAT BARRIER REEF

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s most iconic travel destinations Stretching 2,300 kilometres and covering 344,400 square kilometres—about the size of Japan—this natural wonder still holds remote locations where visitors can feel like true explorers The Southern Great Barrier Reef begins here, spanning the first 300 kilometres of the reef With vibrant coral formations, abundant marine life, and snorkelling right off the beach, it’s an unforgettable experience
Here are the 3 key reasons why your clients would choose the Southern Great Barrier Reef as their next holiday destination:
The Southern Great Barrier Reef starts only a short 4 hour drive or a 45 minute flight from Brisbane You can reach the reef on a short day trip, or alternatively you can stay on an island of the Southern Great Barrier Reef, where the reef can be accessed straight from the beach on Lady Elliot, Lady Musgrave, Heron, Wilson, Great Keppel and Pumpkin Islands
Due to cooler waters in the Southern Great Barrier Reef there are slightly different types of coral to other parts of the Great Barrier Reef, and an abundance of plankton which support GIANT marine life, like turtles and manta rays Have you ever witnessed a manta ray with a wing span of 20 feet in length, or a loggerhead sea turtle that weighs 135 kilograms? You can when visiting the Southern Great Barrier Reef!
Tours and attractions in the Southern Great Barrier Reef are quality, generally small scale businesses, which means visitors will enjoy intimate group experiences, and feel like ‘intrepid’ explorers, receiving a very personal experience rather than being surrounded by mass amounts of other travellers
DESTINATION ECO CERTIFICATION
The globally recognised ECO Destination Certification process through Ecotourism Australia is complex and recognises the efforts of the tourism industry, local government and the entire community towards all aspects of regional sustainability The certification process considers six main themes: Destination Management, Nature & Scenery, Environment & Climate, Culture & Tradition, Social Well-being, and Business & Communication The Bundaberg Region was the second destination in Queensland to achieve this prestigious certification, leading the way for sustainable tourism in the state In 2024, the Gladstone and Capricorn Coast regions joined the ranks, officially becoming ECO Certified Destinations through Ecotourism Australia As the southernmost gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and home to the nation’s most significant endangered loggerhead turtle rookery, the Bundaberg Region—alongside Gladstone and Capricorn—remains committed to enhancing sustainable practices and delivering world-class, environmentally responsible tourism experiences Caring for our little slice of paradise means ensuring it thrives for years to come, and ECO Destination Certification recognises that commitment Together, these three regions are not only preserving their natural wonders but also working towards a greener future With a shared vision, they are actively progressing towards net zero emissions for the tourism industry before 2050, safeguarding these breathtaking landscapes for generations to come
