BEST VALUE GBR TOUR EVER
Sunset Safaris offer the ONLY True Great Barrier Reef Adventure Tour from Gold Coast, Brisbane, and Sunshine Coast. Offering the best value Great Barrier Reef experience in Australia, Sunset Safaris takes you to one of the most beautiful coral cays in the world, Lady Musgrave Island. This breathtaking piece of Island paradise is simply stunning, as you get to get up close and personal with the worlds largest living organism, "The Great Barrier Reef."
Join us as we explore one of the Great Barrier Reefs most beautiful coral cays, where we will experience the life and death struggle of migrating birds, turtles and coral, in a place that many would call “Nirvana.” Here we will explore this fragile Island on a fully guided and informative tour. Snorkelling, diving and deep sea fishing is what this place is famous for, as we encounter colours and beauty unsurpassed any where in the world. During winter, the Whale Watching is some of the best in the world.
Turtles use Lady Musgrave Island as a major nesting area. It is not uncommon to see baby turtles hatching and trying to make it to sea. You can even go for a swim with the turtles as they wait patiently at a cleaning station for the little fish to clean their body of parasites.
Under Sea Adventures offer a diving option for those who would like to experience the thrill of going down deep while on the reef. Sunset Safaris has secured the VERY BEST dive prices on the reef for our customers. The fishing at Lady Musgrave Island is SENSATIONAL. BIG tropical reef fish are caught here regularly, and all fishing equipment is supplied.
Our journey to the Island is on the biggest and the best boat in all the region to ensure your safety and comfort. Our Great barrier reef experience is not just restricted to the water and Island. We will also stay at the very beautiful town of 1770, where we can play as hard as you like with some of our amazing optional extra activities, or relax on the beach and around the pool and take it easy. Our resort is located on a long stretch of beach, where you can go swimming or enjoy a walk across the headland areas to see amazing views. This is a tour of surprising contrasts.
