Take off... on the ultimate tropical Great Barrier Reef Adventure.

Thrill to a scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef to rendezvous with Reef Encounter, a 35 metre, superbly appointed, luxury catamaran located right along side the reef. Enjoy a delicious breakfast in the dining room followed by a remarkable fully supervised dive or snorkel experience in this underwater wonderland. Later, return to Port Douglas or Cairns by helicopter. If your taste for adventure says more, spend the night in your own private stateroom with private bathroom. You have never experienced nightlife like you will on a night dive from Reef Encounter. During the day enjoy cruising from one spectacular dive site to the next whilst relaxing in the spa bath or soaking up the sun on Reef Encounters huge sundeck.

Reef Encounter is a luxury catamaran designed for the utmost stability and comfort at sea. Heli-Encounter lands right on board Reef Encounter. The vessel is airconditioned throughout and features spacious decks as well as roomy dining room and recreation areas. The large easy access water platform allows hassle free diving and snorkelling. Staterooms have double or twin beds, with ensuites. All of these features, combined with friendly, experienced crew makes Reef Encounter the ultimate diving & snorkelling adventure vessel.
