What are the best attractions on Hamilton Island?

Great Barrier Reef Coral Sea World + Heart-Shaped Barrier Reef

Great Barrier Reef World Reef World

The Great Barrier Reef extends for 2,300 kilometers along the northeastern coast of Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is not a single entity but is made up of 2,900 individual reefs, an area equivalent to the entire United Kingdom or the state of Victoria! The three main growth factors for corals are warm water, sufficient sunlight, and a low-nutrient environment. Although many countries in the tropics have all three conditions, there are few large areas of shallow water where corals can fully receive sunlight. The shallow continental shelf waters where the Great Barrier Reef is located are only 20 to 30 meters deep, which provides unique advantages for the formation of the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is truly one of the world's greatest natural wonders and a must-see attraction when visiting the Whitsunday Islands region. The colorful living reef was formed millions of years ago and continues to thrive. Hundreds of species of fish and soft and hard corals live in the tranquil lagoon.
