Fall Vacations. Fantastic Values!

Australia's Great Barrier Reef

Few natural wonders command such attention as the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system. Here, after all, is a spectacle so vast that it can be seen from the moon.

What makes the Reef so great is not just what's beneath the surface but also what's above it - the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef. On an island, you can truly experience one of the seven natural wonders of the world. From the exclusivity and luxury of five-star resorts to the back-to-nature simplicity of tented accommodation in natural settings, the reef's islands offer a retreat from the demands of everyday life.
