Go at your own pace

If you’re looking for a meaningful holiday, become an eco-tourist by visiting the Great Barrier Reef. A percentage from each ticket sold goes directly back into the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park’s conservation efforts, meaning every visitor contributes. Whether you take a guided snorkelling tour, stay at an eco-resort, or fly above the turquoise reefs, you can feel good about the positive impact of your travels. 

Form a deeper connection with nature and be guided by an Indigenous local to discover the cultural significance of some of Queensland’s most iconic spots. Home to two of the world’s oldest cultures, learning about the deep connection to the land one-on-one or with a small group makes it even more magical. 

Whether you’re backpacking, on a working holiday, or treating yourself to some luxurious me-time, when you’re travelling solo there’s no one asking to share your meal. Pack your taste buds, because we have some of the country’s most diverse and fresh produce on offer. With 260 days of sunshine year-round, the climate is made for alfresco dining; or sample our flavours at the food festivals on the menu, year-round.

Queensland’s great outdoors lends itself to both adventure and relaxation. Pick up a skill for life and learn to surf or dive, trek through lush national parks, and raft through ancient rivers. Or, put your feet up in a hammock after a yoga class in the middle of the rainforest. 

And don’t forget to pack your camera.
