Green sea turtle on the Southern Great Barrier Reef

The region,
on your doorstep.

Gateway to the
Southern Reef.

Bundaberg is the quiet gateway to the Southern Great Barrier Reef — Lady Musgrave and Lady Elliot islands, Mon Repos turtles, Bargara beaches, and the distilleries that put the region on the map.

Everything is a short, easy drive from Quay Street. Our front-desk team keeps an up-to-date list of operators, departure times and tide charts, and will happily organise your day before you arrive.

Half-day, full-day,
or overnight.
