1. Overnight Reef Cruise
Location: Port of Airlie Departure, 24 The Cove Road, Airlie Beach, QLD
Experience the vibrant colours and magic of the Great Barrier Reef under the moonlight with an overnight cruise to Reefworld, a permanent pontoon stationed on the Hardy Reef.
Board a speedy vessel in the late morning to enjoy snorkelling, diving and swimming with hundreds of fish at Reefworld.
Opt for a massage on the upper deck, or embark on a helicopter ride to get a grander view of the vibrant coral colours and islands.
As the day wraps up around 3pm, many guests will travel home. But those that have purchased the Reefsleep package will find themselves amongst an intimate group taking on the overnight stay.
How many people can say that they have literally slept on the Great Barrier Reef under the stars? Not many.. which is why this overnight cruise is so special and a once in a lifetime experience.
The Reefsleep holds a maximum of nine people and guests can enjoy a dinner in the underwater observatory as thousands of fish swim just meters away.
The Reefsleep is a truly unique experience as guests can witness seabirds and sea turtles surfacing as the flush of nightfall washes over the reef.
Night dives are also available for experienced divers.
