Best time to travel to Great Barrier Reef

Breeding and Nesting Sea Birds in Great Barrier Reef 2025

Great Barrier Reef is great for underwater activities, but what happens above might be so much more exciting during summer!

Best time: January

Thousands of birds swarm around

So much love around cannot be disappointing! Especially if it's in the air with thousands of birds breeding and nesting in the middle of summer on the sandy shores. There are up to 100 000 individual birds around during this time, breeding and nesting, offering you one of the cutest sights on Earth.
