Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Great Barrier Reef is a year-round destination, but the “Peak Season” (May to October) is generally considered best. During these months, the humidity is lower, rainfall is minimal, and water visibility is at its peak. This period also avoids “Stinger Season” and offers a chance to see migrating humpback whales.
-
Stinger Season typically runs from November to May. During this time, box jellyfish and Irukandji may be present in the water. To ensure safety, all reputable tour operators provide full-body lycra “stinger suits” for guests. These suits not only protect against stings but also provide excellent sun protection.
-
Yes. Most operators are ECO Certified and follow strict Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) guidelines. A portion of every ticket includes an Environmental Management Charge (EMC), which goes directly toward the conservation, research, and protection of the reef ecosystem.
-
Sea turtles are frequently spotted year-round at both island and outer reef locations. If you visit between June and September, you have a high likelihood of seeing Humpback Whales or Minke Whales during the boat journey to and from the reef.
-
Despite challenges like coral bleaching, the reef remains a vibrant and diverse ecosystem. By choosing an Outer Reef tour, you are taken to healthier, deeper water systems where coral diversity and fish populations remain incredibly high, offering the “postcard-perfect” experience travelers expect.
