Reefsuites Underwater Hotel

Guests on the Reefsuite experience travel out to Reefworld aboard Cruise Whitsundays high-speed vessels with the day guests and arrive at about 11 am. During the day you can experience all the Great Barrier Reef activities the pontoon has to offer like snorkelling, swimming, and guided snorkel tours. Also, you are able to purchase scuba dives and scenic flights! Come 3 pm, the day vessel departs, leaving this magnificent part of the world just for you and your fellow Reefsuite guests to enjoy. A hush settles and just have the sound of water and a few birds, then as dusk approaches watch for turtles that come to nibble at the seaweed around the pontoon. 

Snorkelling
The Cruise Whitsundays Reefworld pontoon is adjacent to coral walls, the length of which you can explore by snorkelling as much as you like during your sun-soaked days. This diverse ecosystem is home to magnificent corals and a diversity of marine life found only in sheltered areas. It provides a unique world for you to explore and the prolific fish life will surprise and delight you, especially the green sea turtle! With all snorkel gear, stinger suits and tuition provided, explore the Reef like never before! 

Guided Snorkelling Tours 
Guided snorkelling tours are included in your Reefsuite experience. With small groups, the guide will take you to very special spots where giant Maori wrasse, coral formations, tropical fish, turtles, and reef sharks are there to be seen. There is no better way to learn about the reef than from a knowledgeable local guide!

Scuba Dive - Add On 
There is no better place to experience the magic of your first scuba dive than at the outer Great Barrier Reef, with no experience necessary! Experienced divers can also enjoy spectacular dives at specially selected sites with a variety of coral formations and marine life. Book your introductory or certified dive in advance to dive deeper on your visit to the magical Great Barrier Reef!

Scenic Flights - Add On 
Soar above the clouds and gaze down on the exquisite Whitsunday Islands from above! The perfect adventure to complete your Reefsuite experience, the Outer Great Barrier Reef has views that are bound to take your breath away! Book your scenic flight upon arrival at the pontoon.

Semi-submersible Glass Bottom Boat
Learn about your incredible reef surroundings like never before with Reefsuite's semi-submersible glass-bottom boat. Glide underwater through kaleidoscopic reefs, schools of fish and divine coral gardens. With expert commentary (interpreter available), this unique experience is perfect for everyone. Discover the reef while staying completely dry and dig deeper into the incredible world of the Great Barrier Reef! 

Sunset nibbles
As the sun sets on the horizon of the ocean, you can indulge with complimentary beer or wines, or opt to purchase a cocktail to wind down after a full day of fun in the sun. Enjoy a long table dinner on the pontoon’s upper deck under the stars with your fellow guests before retreating to the privacy of your magical underwater experience.

Luxury underwater suite
Once you descend underwater to your room, you’ll be entranced by the nocturnal activity as the reef comes to life with plenty of marine animals, all from the comfort and privacy of your own room. Seasonal delights like whale songs, bioluminescent creatures and much more can make for an additional experience. Choose from two room types, king double or twin single, and all rooms feature premium bedding, glass-walled en suite and floor-to-ceiling views of the incredible Great Barrier Reef from below the surface. 

Wake up in paradise!
Wake up to the enchanting world under the sea in your softly, turquoise illuminated luxury suite. Once the sun comes up, enjoy a freshly made buffet-style breakfast, and indulge in your private reef viewing room before enjoying having Reefworld to yourselves for the morning!
