Queensland Islands
The islands of Queensland, and the Great Barrier Reef region of Tropical North Queensland in particular, are Australia's crown jewels, with a choice of accommodation and activities for all budgets ranging from remote and secluded luxury lodges and elegantly sophisticated resorts, through to family oriented island getaways.
Queensland's Great Barrier Reef islands are ideally suited for honeymooners, families, divers, beachcombers - in fact anyone looking for an idyllic, exotic, sunkissed and pristine holiday destination that is a rare escape from a stressful world.
Honeymooners or couples just wanting an exquisite escape are particularly recommended the beautiful romantic Great Barrier Reef Islands of Lizard, Dunk, Hayman, Brampton, Peppers Palm Bay or Hamilton, the remote Robinson Crusoe experience of Haggerstone Island, the secluded and exclusive Orpheus Island.
If diving or fishing are more your speed then Heron, Wilson, Lizard or Lady Elliot are superb choices. For nature at its best with turtle hatching, bird rookeries and whale watching, (all seasonal) Lady Elliot Island is an ecological wonderland.
Absolute luxury? Hayman, Green Island, Orpheus, Bedarra, Peppers Palm Bay and Lizard of course. While families will find the prices and facilities of South Molle Island, Dunk, Hamilton, Hayman, Daydream or Fitzroy make perfect sense for that tropical family holiday.
Something in between? Hamilton Island, South Molle Island, Daydream Island Resort & Spa, or Long Island Resort, are ideal choices.
Maybe a reef and island cruise with Coral Princess Cruises or Captain Cook Cruises... the options are wide and varied on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.
Other Island resorts closer to Queensland's vibrant capital, Brisbane, are also world famous and easily accessible by vehicle and ferry, with all resorts operating their own transfer services. The superb Kingfisher Bay Resort on World Heritage Fraser Island, and the health and activity focussed first class Couran Cove Island Resort on South Stradbroke Island off the coast from the Gold Coast.
