Reefsleep Great Barrier Reef Experience

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 the day! It has its own ecosystem with magnificent corals and a diversity of marine life found only in sheltered areas. The Hardy Reef is a unique world for you to explore and the prolific fish life will surprise and delight you especially… the Giant Groper!
