Australia’s first underwater accommodation option is here

Experience the Great barrier Reef in a whole new way.

Sleeping with the fishes sounds more like an old-school American gangster threat than a genuine accommodation option in Australia, but we assure you – it’s really possible.

WATCH: Get an up-close and person look at the Great Barrier Reef with Fast Ed

You can now experience the Great Barrier Reef in a whole new way, thanks to Australia’s first underwater accommodation set up at Reefworld.

Moored offshore at Hardy Reef, 40 nautical miles from Airlie Beach, Reefworld has been revamped so it can now host daytrippers, on-deck Reefsleep guests and a lucky few who’ll head below deck for a private, all-inclusive Reefsuite experience.

Reefsuites give a whole new meaning to ‘a room with a view’. Sit back, relax and watch as the reef comes to life through the floor to ceiling windows, and watch marine life go about their daily activities on the world-heritage listed reef.

The price of your Reefsuite booking includes:

  • All meals including breakfast, morning and afternoon teas and dinner
  • All beverages including beer and wine, cocktails and spirits 
  • Spectacular dining experience under the stars
  • Activities at the reef, including a private guided snorkelling tour and semi-submarine tour
  • Access to the underwater observatory
  • Arrive at your unique accommodation via a scenic cruise through the Whitsundays
