Overview

Beyond the Whitsundays, your destination is Reefworld, our multilevel reef facility permanently moored 39 nautical miles from shore at spectacular Hardy Reef. Snorkel, swim, dive and explore – an undersea encounter with this amazing ecosystem is unforgettable.

Or if you’d rather stay dry, experience the reef from our underwater observatory or take a ride in a semi-submarine. After a sumptuous buffet lunch, you’ll have more time to explore before you head back to shore with lifelong memories of this epic Australian icon.

- 4 hours at Hardy Reef

    Not worth of money at all if you dont want to do snorkeling or go in water. Semi submersible is also not good.

  • An incredible experience,...

    This was a great day out. Our cruise was cancelled on the day we booked, but it gave us a free day at Hamilton Island - not a hardship at all! The tour itself was well run. The staff were very friendly and helpful - at the dock, on the boat and on the pontoon. The cruise out is very rocky, so be prepared! Lots of options available to do / add on - helicopters, underwater submersible, snorkelling, go pros to rent... Food was great too.. Absolutely no complaints and would do again!

  • Fantastic way to spend the day!
