Overnight cruise

Reefsleep is a truly unforgettable reef experience, where you can stay overnight at Reefworld, the largest Australian owned offshore facility on the Great Barrier Reef. In fact past guests often call it the ultimate sleep-over on the Great Barrier Reef.
The Reefsleep package offers a chance to explore the reef without the crowds. You have the opportunity to enjoy all of Reefworld's facilities over two days and experience the peace and tranquility of Reefworld at night. Watching the sun set from the top deck is truly breathtaking and Reefworld is the perfect place to star gaze - you will not believe how many stars there are or how bright they are until you have been out on the reef at night.
With exclusive time to explore the reef once the day-trippers have departed, come face to face with schools of colourful reef fish and be amazed at the coral formations as you dive or snorkel along the reef edge. From the comfort of the underwater viewing chamber witness the spectacular transformation as the marine life comes alive after sunset.
You will be pampered by your own personal Deck Steward for the night as canapes and drinks are served at dusk and dinner alfresco style under the stars. Breakfast is enjoyed on the reef the following morning.More info....
