Too often ... would men boast only of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen.

    • Lots of tour agencies along the esplanade have signs saying they are the official tourism department of Queensland. Well,they are not! They are just private agencies who will sell you thier packages and you wont have the whole gamut of diving and adventure packages available for the reef area.

    At Least Do This: Walk south along the esplanade, past the lagoon and pier, and right opposite the fogarty park, is the REAL tourist information center, sponsored by the government of Queensland. The people here are extremely friendly and will always show you the cheapest and value deal. We saved $100 for 2 people for a discover scuba package!

    Check them out first and then walk to the other tour agencies along the esplanade to comparison shop.
