What is the best time to visit the Great Barrier Reef?

Summer is the ideal time to experience the incredible Great Barrier Reef . With warmer temperatures comes calmer seas and clearer underwater visibility, perfect conditions for snorkelling or diving into that famous turquoise water. Marine life is especially active during this time and from November to February, you’ll have an even better chance of spotting turtles during hatching season. Just remember that it’s also stinger season, so don’t forget to wear a stinger suit to stay safe. If your dream summer holiday includes lounging on a tropical island, the Great Barrier Reef’s islands are a must. Green Island, Queensland’s first island national park, offers a unique blend of reef and rainforest, while Fitzroy Island is home to the stunning, award-winning Nudey Beach. Explore the reef and its pristine islands this summer – the perfect time to make it happen.
