THINGS TO SEE & DO

Reef Seasonality Calendar

Year-round get up close and personal with colourful fish and turtles in pristine corals, ledges and caves of the Southern Great Barrier Reef! Between November to March, turtle tracks paint the shores of Mon Repos Beach, Lady Musgrave Island and Lady Elliot Island, as mother turtles haul themselves up sandy dunes to nest, and emerging hatchlings make the mad dash to the sea. Each year, the pristine waters off Bundaberg come alive with majestic southern humpback whales from July to November. Lady Elliot Island is known as the home of the manta ray, and you can also spot these peaceful creatures at Lady Musgrave Island year-round with peak season from May to August. Take a look at our reef seasonality calendar below for an overview of what you can experience on our reef!
