OUR thoughts on AUSTRALIA
QUEENSLAND
Often referred to as The Barrier Reef Islands, Queensland's offshore island gems are spread over a thousand kilometres of the Queensland coast from Lizard Island to the north of Cairns to Lady Elliot Island on the southern fringe of The Great Barrier Reef off Bundaberg. Amongst all these wonderful islands there is a huge variation on offer; everything from rustic and laid-back eco resorts to true five star international-standard resorts. There are intimate little resorts, some only accessible by boat from the mainland or from other islands, there are some where small aircraft and helicopters provide access services and even one that sports a full service international standard jet airport with several daily flights from Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney or Cairns. They are all different and all great places for a tropical island holiday. Choosing the right island for your holiday needs and then organising one of the many options for transfers between the mainland and the islands can be a bit tricky but you can rely on Our Specialists to organise everything for you to ensure you have the perfect tropical island holiday on one of "Our Queensland Islands".
