Celeste Mitchell for the Herald Sun, outlines 9 epic things you can only do on the Great Barrier Reef.
“Whether you want to help protect it or just soak it in from your superyacht, the reef has an experience for you”
#2 Wellness on the reef
Guests at Pelorus Private Island – one of the most-recent additions to the Luxury Lodges of Australia collection – can keep their steps up in a unique way while enjoying island time on the Great Barrier Reef. Cycling on a Schiller water bike provides a fun and core-strengthening way to explore the coral-studded waters surrounding the island. The pedal boats are a new addition to the retreat and complement the existing wellness offerings, from sunrise beach yoga to massage treatments and meditative moments in the solar-heated pool.
#3 Connect with Country
A new First Nations tour from Hamilton Island takes guests back 9000 years to learn more about the Whitsundays’ traditional owners, the Ngaro people. Whisked across to Nara Inlet on Hook Island, guests are welcomed with a smoking ceremony before traditional owner Robbie Congoo shares stories of the seafaring canoe people and reveals ancient artefacts and cave paintings on this intimate half-day tour. Gourmet canapés infused with native ingredients by qualia’s head chef, and drinks served back on board the private vessel Pebble Beach, complete the soul-stirring experience.
