Club Crocodile Long Island Resort, Great Barrier Reef

DayDream Island/Paradise

Advantages: Great to unwind
Disadvantages: none

is the most advanced Hydrotherapeutic,salon equipment and also after you under went this wonderful treatment to unwind you can the enjoy refreshments on the exclusive balcony. There is an Open Air Cinema where they show films 3/4 times a week. So if you are staying at Airlie Beach or near by this is worthwhile to visit and if you want to be pampered more just stay on the island for an extra special time and enjoy all what the island has to offer. You are also near the Great Barrier Reef and you can arrange daytrips to go and see that or visit the many other islands which make up the Whitsundays. Next time I certainly will be staying on the island as this time I only had time to visit it for the day. ...

Review of Daydream Island Resort, Great Barrier Reef

Herron Island, Great Barrier Reef

Advantages: A wonderful holiday destination with great facilities and activities.
Disadvantages: Expensive, but worth it.

There really is no other place in the world quite like the Great Barrier Reef. There are so many activities and opportunities for visitors that whatever time you have on Herron Island is not enough. There is a wide range of things to do, from whale-spotting to sitting at a bar watching the sun go down with a cocktail you've never even heard of!!

The easiest way to avoid injury is just not to touch anything! Slightly further into the sea, where diving equipment is necessary, the reef ...

Review of Great Barrier Reef (Australia)

Green & Great

Advantages: Good value, lots to see
Disadvantages: Beach was a bit dissapointing

of the rainforest plants on the mainland became deposited in the sand and over many thousands of years (about 6000) became rainforest. Now it's a stunning tropical island resort 45 mins from Cairns by boat. The island covers about 37 acres and takes about 40 minutes to walk around. The island is part of the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef national park and contains 126 species of native plant and a great many species of unusual bird life, in particular wading birds are common with their long bandy legs and long beaks. The main reason Green Island appealed to us was that the tour we selected offered a range of activities during the day meaning that my friend and I could both do the things we wanted but still spend most of the day together. We were collected from our apartment about 10.am and boarded the Big Cat 'Reef Rocket' in Cairns at 10 ...
