What to do and see in Great Barrier Reef, Queensland: The Best City Tours
The world's largest coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef stretches almost 1500 miles into the Pacific from the tip of Queensland. Designated a Marine Park by the Australian government and a World Heritage Area by UNESCO, the reef is home to an extraordinary abundance of species and habitats. Snorkeling, diving and fishing are rightly popular along the reef, nowhere more so than on the Whitsunday Islands, where the silica sands and aqua waters of the Coral Sea create the perfect beach escape.

My partner and I did this dinner cruise while we were on holidays in Cairns and it was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment you walk onto the boat you cant help but smile. The staff were all warm, friendly and very good at their jobs to the point they kept us well involved even when on the deck when our meals were coming out and even when there was a great sunset display. The food and drinks were amazing lots of flavors and variety. Thanks so much for an incredible date night! Highly recommend!!
