The Great Barrier Reef is appropriately described by superlatives. It's the largest organic structure ever created on the planet. At 1250 miles long, it's easily viewed from outer space, and within its broad frontiers, encompasses one of worlds the most diverse marine ecosystems. Roughly 400 species of coral provide habitat for over 1500 species of fish and several thousand different invertebrates. It's also the largest of 144 World Heritage Sites, and has benefited from over twenty years of protection and management from one of the oldest and most refined Marine Parks.
Your Itinerary
Days 1-13: Our program begins in Sydney, often considered the most beautiful city of the Southern Hemisphere. We will be staying at the 5-star Four Seasons Hotel, located in the historic Rocks district and only a short walk from both the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. This neighborhood also features a variety of shops, restaurants, and easy access to other areas of downtown Sydney. For our time in Sydney, we've arranged several group activities that focus on marine education including visits to the commercial fish market, the aquarium, and the Natural History Museum.
