A 30 minute tour where you will go behind the scenes to learn about the importance of coral on the Great Barrier Reef and what we are doing to protect and preserve it.

Tour through Australia's first and only Living Coral Biobank Facility which is capable of holding 12,000 live coral fragments from Great Barrier Reef. This priceless collection is the largest conservation effort to preserve live coral biodiversity in the world as well as make them available for reef research and restoration efforts.
