If you're looking to choose a tourism operator for your trip to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, consider selecting a high standard operator that are ecologically sustainable.
They also help to protect and present the Marine Park to a consistently high standard, and are recognised by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority for their good standards.
These operators are independently certified as high standard tourism operations by gaining the Ecotourism or Advanced Ecotourism levels of the Ecotourism Australia's ECO Certification Program.
