What to Expect on Our Great Barrier Reef Tours

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest living structure, stretching over 2,300 kilometres of around 3,000 individual coral reefs. Home to more than 9,000 species of coral, fish, and marine animals, the Great Barrier Reef makes up 10% of the world’s coral reef ecosystems.

Simply describing the Great Barrier Reef in numbers isn’t enough to capture the amazing diversity of marine wildlife it supports - you’ll have to witness it first-hand for yourself! Our Great Barrier Reef Tours can take you to the edge of the reef to swim along colourful coral or up in the sky for an expansive vista of the larger reef structure.

The team at Magnums can organise everything you need to enjoy your tour, from transportation to and from the marina to passing on any dietary requirements and special requests. 

Explore the Great Barrier Reef from Airlie Beach

All of our Great Barrier Reef tours depart right from Airlie Beach. You can book a Great Barrier Reef tour with us online or over the phone at 1800 624 634.

There are two main departure points in Airlie Beach for Great Barrier Reef tours - the Coral Sea Marina and the Port of Airlie Marina. Each tour operator will depart from either of these locations - our staff will confirm the departure point on your behalf and can arrange for transportation if required.

Our tour consultants are local experts themselves and have complete knowledge of each tour we sell to ensure that you get the best possible experience. Get in touch with our team for more information about tour inclusions, availability, and suitability for guests of all ages. 

We recommend booking your tour as early as possible. The Great Barrier Reef tours are among the most popular in the  region and tend to get booked out quickly, especially during peak seasons.
