At Reef Unlimited, our vision is to create eco-friendly and exciting experiences that inspire people to connect with nature, stay active and challenge themselves. The protection and preservation of our working environment within the World Heritage Protected Areas is at the heart of our mission.
At GBR Biology, the marine research division of Reef Unlimited, we encompass sustainability and 21st century conservation ideology, ensuring that we understand the sites and reef locations that we are lucky enough to visit and work on every day.
We embrace First Nations history and capture the importance of culture and sea country across all our brands. Focusing on a dedicated approach to immersive and educational experiences, our team of marine and cultural specialists have created a selection of bespoke reef experience programs with a focus on Marine Science, First Nation Sea Country or Reef Conservation in Action.
Facilitating a connection and appreciation for the incredible environment we visit, those programs can be added on to non-exclusive group bookings, as well as private charter arrangements for each of our Great Barrier Reef experiences in Cairns and Port Douglas.
Come and allow our professional and experienced guides the opportunity to immerse you in the Great Barrier Reef, connecting you to the beauty of the reef through storytelling and making a positive impact on the Reef’s future!
