The Great Barrier Reef stretches out for 2000 kilometers the length of the coast from the very northern tip of Queensland, Bamaga, to Bundaberg, better known as the Capricornia section of the Reef (it in fact goes on until Papua New Guinea). It’s a sort of Australian Wall made out of diverse ecosystems that is also visible from space. Cairns are one of the major points from which to set off for a trip to the reef. Although you can reach many spots from whatsoever place on the eastern coast of Queensland, many people opt for Towns ville.
From Towns ville, you can easily set off for the Great Barrier Reef Marine park, that consist of hundreds of impressive unoccupied island with secluded beaches where you can stay for a few days and travel around the reef area with snorkeling or diving equipment. While accommodation is luxurious one of the cheapest options is almost certainly camping. Make sure you’ve brought along everything you needed. The closest island to the coast is Long Island and visited by many people who want to explore the barrier reef for only a day or a few hours.
