Reef Encounter

Reef Encounter Cruises - Sailing Whitsundays - Great Barrier Reef - Australia

The Great Barrier Reef is, without doubt, Australia's most spectacular natural wonder. Composed of over 2,000 individual reefs, the distinct line of reefs that form the Great Barrier Reef system is the only sign of life on the planet that is actually visible from the moon!

One single reef can be home to over 500 species of fish, more than have been recorded in the entire Atlantic Ocean. Visit up to six spectacular reef locations aboard "Reef Encounter' and experience one of the most visually varied and exciting places in the world. 

Reef Encounter is a 35 metre luxury catamaran designed for the utmost stability and comfort at sea. The vessel is air-conditioned throughout and features spacious decks as well as roomy dining and recreation areas.
