Package overview
Duration: 2 days, 1 night

Location: Hardy Reef, Whitsundays
Reefsleep is a two-day/one-night encounter like no other. An intimate opportunity to sleep under the stars and experience Cruise through the Whitsundays to Reefworld at Hardy Reef, an exclusive overnight-only pontoon on the outer Great Barrier Reef. Reserved solely for overnight guests, Reefworld offers an intimate and unhurried way to experience the reef, with space to slow down, explore and take in the beauty of this remarkable ocean setting.
Spend your day swimming, snorkelling, or discovering the reef from a different perspective on a semi-submarine guided tour or through the underwater observatory. During your stay, enjoy a complimentary guided snorkel safari led by knowledgeable reef guides, with the chance to explore vibrant coral formations, giant clams and abundant marine life up close.
As the sun sets over the reef, relax with a drink in hand before enjoying a chef-prepared dinner under the stars. Then settle into your Reefbed for a memorable night beneath the open sky, surrounded by the quiet wonder of the Great Barrier Reef after dark.
Wake to a peaceful morning on the reef, with more time to enjoy Reefworld before your afternoon cruise home through the Whitsundays – carrying memories of one of Australia’s most unique overnight reef experiences.
