Experience the Great Barrier Reef for two days and one night. By day, enjoy all the activities on offer at Reefworld, a pontoon moored on one of the most spectacular areas of the Great Barrier Reef, including snorkeling, semi-sub rides and viewing parts of the world’s largest coral-reef system in an underwater chamber. Later, spend the night at Reefsleep—on the upper deck of the pontoon—to sleep under the stars, 40 nautical miles (74 km) from shore. Fall asleep under twinkling stars in a custom designed queen-size 'Reefbed'. Round-trip transport and most meals are included.

The Reef Review

From the moment we got picked up, the crew was so kind and welcoming. They supported all passengers with any questions or requests with a smile. The first part of the day you head from your pickup spot out to the reef with the day travelers. Everyone is welcome to sign up for extra excursions or snorkel off the pontoon. Once 3pm hits, you are checked into your reef sleep spot and the pontoon feels very quiet now that it’s just the staff and overnight guests left on board. You have plenty of time to relax and snorkel with less guests if you’d like. The team provides plenty of food and drinks and dinner with the other guests is very fun! Sleeping in the Reef sleep pod is very comfortable and intimate. There is nothing like waking up to the sunrise on the Great Barrier Reef! On the 2nd day, you have plenty of time to eat breakfast, snorkel or do another excursion before the second wave of guests arrive. While they’re on board, you have your own private section and can continue to lay in your sleep pod while you look over the Great Barrier Reef. Overall, it was an incredible experience. Shout out to Haley, Brooke and Grace for being wonderful staff!
Absolute must do experience!

I had an unforgettable trip to the Great Barrier Reef with an overnight stay! Snorkeling among the vibrant marine life was a dream come true. The accommodations were comfy, and waking up to the ocean view was magical. The food throughout the trip was also incredibly delicious. Highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
