Resorts and island destinations at the Great Barrier Reef never run out of things that guests can do. From picnics at the beach to the more physically demanding adventure activities a day at the biggest coral reef system will never be boring.
Adventure activities at the Great Barrier Reef are not only limited to underwater adventures which are fun things that you can do on water and on land. For instance did you know that depending on the island you're exploring you can on quad bike tours?
How do you go about touring car less Hamilton Island? Simple, just use the golf buggy which is an easy to drive 2 or 4-seater vehicle that you can take on a self guided tour or a full pledged golf buggy cruise.
Still at Hamilton Island if you want a taste of something else, you can try driving the quad bike in an off-road trip. Guides can take you up trails to a lookout the buggy can't reach where you have a sweeping view of the Great Barrier Reef as far as the naked eye can see.
At Brampton Island, you can go on jet ski and kayak tours. If that's too easy for you then try knee boarding, water skiing, and wake boarding.
At Great Keppel Island there are 17 white sand beaches to explore through their walking tracks that have varying degrees of difficulty. They also have the usual water adventure activities like jet and water skiing, and snorkeling but if you want a lot more adrenaline rush try the tandem sky diving or the para sailing.
If you would like a sweeping glance of the Great Barrier Reef from the sky, you can also book yourself to a helicopter tour of Green Island. Depending on the tour, they will land on the island so you swim its waters then they will continue on and take you to see coral cays and other interesting reef formations.
Not only are the island resorts a source of adventure activities at the reef even the tour companies have their own offering of activities guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
Take for example the Coral Sea Charter Company which takes your fishing interest to a higher level. If you sign up in one of their tours you will be able to go reef fishing, fly fishing, and game fishing at the reef.
Still another tour company is the Southern Cross Sailing Adventures. Established since 1985, this company has been offering sailing two to three night's adventure tours on famous places in the reef such as Hook Island, Hayman Island, and Whitehaven.
What's good with this company is they let their guests in on the basics of sailing aside from the usual snorkeling and swimming. Plus this will surely be an adventure you'll never forget as you will be on board a yacht that was formerly used in sailing races.
The most wonderful thing about the activities at the Great Barrier Reef is you don't have to go out and search for them. You can conveniently ask your hotel concierge and they are more than happy to help you with booking any of these or you can surf the Internet as tour operators almost always have their own online booking.
