Snorkel or scuba dive to take in the incredible diversity of the marine life living on the reef.

A great start to the tour and a day you will remember for the rest of your life!

We then travel west over the Great Dividing Range, passing through small quiet outback country towns like Julia Creek. Travel through some vastly changing landscapes en route to the mining town of Mt Isa.

Visit the historic Daly Waters Hotel for a refreshing drink, then take a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters of Mataranka's thermal pool, nestled amongst tall shady palms.

Have your photo taken next to a magnetic termite mound three times your size!
