An overnight adventure out in the open sea awaits you in this 2-day and 1-night reefsleep experience with Cruise Whitsundays! With scenic ocean views, sumptuous feasts, and exciting water activities, you’ll never run out of things to do in this Whitsundays overnight cruise.

Day 1 in this Whitsunday overnight tour starts with a cruise to Hardy Beach Reef, where your catamaran and accommodation for the night will “park.” Once there, the day is up to you - snorkel or dive under reefs, visit the underwater observatory or rejuvenate with a massage onboard.

When the night comes, you can start sipping on your favourite sunset cocktails as you witness the sunset unfold on the horizon. Then, get cosy and snuggle in your comfy reef bed as you gaze upon the twinkling stars in the vast ocean sky. We suggest you wake up early the next day so you’ll have more time to enjoy reef activities.

Whether you’re coming in as a solo traveller or with a partner in this Whitsundays overnight tour, single and double reef beds are available on Klook. All are inclusive of two delicious e lunches, dinner for the night, and breakfast for the second day. You’ll also have access to the underwater observatory onboard. If you want to try out snorkelling, gears and wetsuits are provided!

Always wanted to experience sleeping underwater? Indulge the mermaid or merman in you when you spend a magical night on a reefsuite, Australia’s first underwater accommodation! 

Just like the reefsleep, Reefsuites lets you enjoy the best of Hardy Beach Reef during the day. At night, this Whitsundays overnight cruise provides you a luxurious experience with their intimate below-deck accommodations. 

While the sun’s out, experience the tranquil ocean and meet friendly sea turtles when you go snorkelling or swimming by the reef. At an extra cost, you can even hop aboard a scenic helicopter flight to see the iconic Heart Reef!

If all the excitement from your day activities has taken a toll on your energy, you can retreat at night to your very own reefsuite. Have a restful sleep on your cosy bed under the sea and wake up to the sight of vibrant marine life. Now that’s a room with a view!

Upgrade your Whitsundays overnight cruise experience to 3 days and 3 nights with a Sail & Snorkel Tour from Wings Sailing Charters! 

Embark on a luxury cruise that takes you to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach and Great Barrier Reef. You can take your time exploring, sunbathing, paddleboarding, kayaking, or snorkelling in the majestic waters. Be on the lookout for friendly dolphins and sea turtles along the way! 

There are three kinds of accommodations you can choose from in this Whitsundays overnight cruise: hull berths, saloon berths, and private cabins. If you feel like lounging throughout the day, you can retreat to the hull beds anytime.

The saloon beds are treated as common areas during the day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tip: If you want the most spacious saloon berths, choose double beds at the centre!

No matter what accommodation you choose, this Whitsundays overnight cruise comes with meals and snacks as well as snorkel gear and wetsuit hire.
