Well, grab your snorkeling gear and start your adventure at the magnificent Great Barrier Reef, the most famous attraction in Queensland! The reef ecosystem spreads over 200 km along the eastern coast and it has over 2900 reefs!

You can choose the town on the East coast from which you want to start exploring the amazing marine life – head to Cairns and choose one of many affordable day trips, go to Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays if you want to sail the reef or visit Townsville and opt for an overnight driving safari for your adventure. There are steady Wi-Fi connections in almost every accommodation that makes this piece of heaven a true heaven on earth for the digital nomads.
