Great Barrier Reef Cruise to Reefworld
Reefworld, the largest floating pontoon facility in Australia, is situated at Hardy Reef. There, you can experience the reef with a variety of activities in and out of the water and can see the largest number of colourful reef fish than with any other Whitsunday Great Barrier Reef operator! Guests travel on a high-speed, air-conditioned catamaran to Reefworld, approximately 40 nautical miles from the mainland. This location allows guests to spend less time on the vessel and more time exploring the Great Barrier Reef.
Take an optional tour on the semi-submarine, sit in the large 50-seat underwater viewing chamber or look down into the Groper viewing hole. The more adventurous can experience the most celebrated reef in the world on an Introductory or Certified dive. Reefworld’s facilities include Club Seahorse, a free children’s club that offers extra entertainment for kids and childcare! Club Seahorse can be booked in 30-minute blocks, making Reefworld the perfect choice for families!
