On the Ellene Reef in search of an ocean marvel, a brand-new Great Barrier Reef platform

 18 Feb 2019

Ellene Reef is a new Great Barrier Reef platform built by Sun Lover in 2017. It has clear water, romantic sunshine, natural tranquil environment, well-equipped platform facilities and plenty of water games. You can swim in the ocean world, come close to the strange marine life, sit in the colorful underwater world, absolutely worthy of this trip.

The beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, I believe that no more narrative, you can also learn from a variety of channels. "one of the seven wonders of nature in the world", "USA News and World report first place in 2016", "the largest and longest coral reef in the world", "World Natural and Cultural Heritage". These titles alone, the Great Barrier Reef has become a place for many people to go once in their lives.

Australia Great Barrier Reef


The Great Barrier Reef's 2300-kilometer-long original coastline extends from Fraser Island in South Queensland to tropical far north Queensland north of Cape York. Colorful coral reefs, rich marine life and more than 900 undamaged islands are waiting to be explored. This introduction is about the new platform of the Great Barrier Reef, the Ellene Reef (Arlington Reef)., which was built by Sun Lover Cruise in 2017.


Five bright spots in the Ellene Reef

Highlight one: the shortest trip to the Outer Barrier Reef

The location of the Ellene Reef on the map


The Great Barrier Reef is divided into the Inner Barrier Reef and the Outer Barrier Reef according to the distance from the coast. Because the outer barrier reef is relatively far from the coast, the sea water is deeper, the water quality is the clearest. Long distances, long trips and fewer visitors, the reef is less damaged than the inner reef, preserving more of the original beauty of the Great Barrier Reef. The Ellene Reef has become the nearest platform from Keynes to the Outer Barrier Reef, taking only an hour and 15 minutes by boat, allowing visitors to experience the reef in a small amount of time.


Highlight two: overlooking the most beautiful reef in the ai

The beautiful Ellene Reef stretches 25 kilometers, hidden in the magnificent coral sea of the Great Barrier Reef. It has an invincible aerial landscape and a mysterious undersea world. When the weather is fine, the visibility of the bottom can be as deep as 20 m / 30 m.

A helicopter ride from the sky overlooking the extreme beauty of the Ellene Reef is an excellent experience. You will see a wide range of blue, all kinds of forms, colorful coral reefs located on the bottom of the small white sand bed, the crystal-clear sea water like a clear blue amber, marvellous and breathtaking! Elling Reef is also hailed as the most beautiful reef overlooking in the air, and you will be fascinated by it with a single glance.

Bright spot three: well preserved and rich in species

The Ellene Reef is one of the largest coral reef systems and the most protected coral reef area in the Great Barrier Reef. It is well preserved, closer to the original living environment and richer in species. Here, you will take a look at the mysterious postures of the Great Barrier Reef.

Nearby coral undersea parks are home to a wide variety of marine life-the nimble clown fish, the huge but docile fish, the lovely and honest sea turtles, and tens of thousands of other magnificent marine creatures, all eye-opening and marvellous. If you like the movie "Submarine Story", it's no exaggeration to say that you can see every character in the movie with your own eyes here!

Highlight 4: half-day cruise chartered

Many visitors with shorter days in Keynes would like to play as many local experiences as possible other than the Great Barrier Reef, which usually takes a full day to visit. For many elderly or ill-health visitors, a full-day trip to the Great Barrier Reef can feel a little tiring.

Now, Ellene Reef, in particular, offers a thoughtful half-day charter tour, which returns to Keynesian wharf from 07:00 to 13:30, suitable for visitors in both cases. The day trip ends from 10:00 to 17:30. In addition, this is also the most cost-effective, the most favorable price of the Outer Barrier Reef platform products.


Bright point five: extra water games

A stroll at the bottom of the Ellene Reef


The Ellene Reef itinerary includes free events such as snorkeling, glass-bottomed boats, semi-submarines, and glass-bottomed boats, as well as many more in-depth experiences, where you can scuba dive and watch fish-feeding shows. Or take a stroll under the sea with a professional coach.

This is one of the best ways to observe the world of the sea floor on the surface of the water. Most of the time, the naked eye can only see activity in the sea within 4 meters below the sea level, but since the Great Barrier Reef has the clearest sea water in the world, you can even see the underwater world 30 meters below when the weather is fine. You have plenty of opportunities to enjoy countless coral reefs and marine life!

Experience diving requires good physical condition, please do it according to your ability. Most of the Great Barrier Reef scuba diving is about 8 to 10 meters, because the marine ecology at this depth is the most exciting. The depth of diving is about 30 minutes, and the depth is no more than 12 meters deep, and most of the Great Barrier Reef scuba diving is about 8 to 10 meters.


Undersea stroll:

Submarine walking is a popular project on the Great Barrier Reef that allows zero-distance contact with benthic creatures without touching a drop of water. Walking on the soft seabed, spectacular fish shuttling in front of our eyes, colorful corals rolling gently in the water, the sea floor stroll as romantic as its name. In order for every visitor to see as many fish as possible, the coaches will occasionally throw some fish around you, and all the greedy fish will gather in front of you.

Fish feed show:

Fish feeding shows can make countless colorful, cute and greedy fish gather together so that you can watch them carefully. Watching them scramble for food must make you laugh. The performance will take place on the platform. Remember to pay attention to the time of notice on board.
