Travel Photo of the Day: Great Barrier Reef, Australia

A UNESCO World Heritage site and a natural wonder, the Great Barrier Reef is in a league of its own. Everything about it seems appealing to me. When you get into the water, the rich colors and the marine life mesmerize you and when you see it from above, the colors blow your mind. If you are a scuba diver, water enthusiast or even a nature enthusiast, this is one place you have to experience for yourself. Queensland has so many attractions in addition to the Great Barrier Reef that one can possibly spend an entire month here and still only skim the surface.

These scenic flights are something I would recommend heavily. And especially for the Great Barrier Reef!!
