The Gladstone region is a magnet for adventure lovers, whether it be swimming with turtles, exploring the rugged beauty of the National Parks, or freshwater fishing for barramundi.
The birthplace of Queensland, the town of Seventeen Seventy, is your springboard to the pristine waters and spectacular colours of the Southern Great Barrier Reef where you can go diving or snorkelling. Jump aboard an ex-military Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo (L.A.R.C) vessel from Seventeen Seventy marina and head out to Middle Island where you can sand board down 30 metre high dunes and drop straight into the water.
The neighbouring town Agnes Water also offers plenty of adventure holiday activities including diving, kayaking, snorkelling, surfing, sand boarding, mini choppers and more.
