Optional Extras

Optional Extras

Make the most of your day at the reef with these exciting optional activities.

SNORKEL SAFARI | A GUIDED SNORKELLING TOUR

Snorkelling is the easiest way to view coral reefs. Snorkelling and scuba diving are completely different activities though and one of the great things about snorkelling is that we can talk to you while we snorkel. Our snorkel tours are ideal for both first-time snorkellers – and experienced snorkellers who want to learn more about what they’re looking at out on the reef.

INTRODUCTORY DIVE | LEARN TO DIVE AT THE GREAT BARRIER REEF

There is no better place to experience the magic of your first scuba dive than at the outer Great Barrier Reef. Our fully certified PADI/SSI instructors will step you through all the training and escort you on your first amazing adventure. The minimum age is 12 years old for this activity.

CERTIFIED DIVE | DIVE AT THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS REEF

Experienced divers can enjoy spectacular dives at specially selected sites with a variety of coral formations that are teeming with marine life. All dives are escorted by our experienced crew, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

HELI-SCENIC FLIGHTS | FLY OVER FAMOUS HEART REEF

To truly appreciate the size, scope and beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, a scenic helicopter flight is a must do. You’ll be awed by the stunning beauty of the maze of reefs weaved together to form the Great Barrier Reef, and iconic Heart Reef is a sight to behold. Splash out and treat yourself to this adventure, you will not be disappointed.

Reefworld Overnight Reef Experience Reviews

We booked the Reef Sleep for our Buddy/Honeymoon and were absolutely delighted with the fun and professional personalities of the Cruise Whitsunday Crew. They made us feel so special along with sharing all their experiences and knowledge about the reef. We can’t recommend this experience enough! It was a bucket list experience and it met all those expectations.

We just returned yesterday from our Great Barrier Reef reef sleep. We had a magnificent time from the moment we arrived on the boat. We were greeted with our adorable host, Krystal! She was delightful in every way. All of the crew that stayed on the boat worked hard to make it such an enjoyable experience. We loved being there after the boat left and be able to snorkel when it was just our group and then again the next morning before the boat arrived again with the day group. What a fantastic experience.
