Can I visit the Great Barrier Reef while staying in Brisbane?

I have a short Brisbane stay and would like to see reef rather than just the coast. Is a day trip realistic, or should I allow more time?

    With two or three nights available, consider travelling to a Southern Great Barrier Reef gateway such as Bundaberg or Gladstone and choosing an island or reef experience from there. Include the land or air travel and weather buffer in the plan, not just the tour duration.
