Their permanently moored pontoon is located on Hardy Reef, 40 nautical miles from shore on the Great Barrier Reef – one of the most spectacular stretches of the reef. This is the destination for day visitors, but for a lucky Few, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime, breathtaking and memorable overnight experience.
Reefsleep guests travel to hardy reef on board their high-speed modern, well-appointed vessel, arriving around 11am with the day guests. By day, all the amazing activities offered on the Great Barrier Reef Adventure are there to be enjoyed – diving, snorkelling, swimming with thousands of fish and scenic helicopter Flights. By mid-afternoon, the day guests will depart and you get Hardy Reef and the Reefworld pontoon all to yourself and your fellow Reefsleep and Reefsuite Guests.
Watch the sun set over the reef then see the reef really come to life in the darkness of the night.
Gaze up at a million stars from your custom built queen size Reefbed before the tranquillity of being in the middle of the ocean lulls you to sleep. In the morning, guests enjoy more private time with the reef before the day guests join.
