Reef Encounter recently had a complete makeover with a 1.5 million dollar refit in March 2012, making it our premier choice reef trip! Liveaboard boats combine the travel and accommodation part of your holiday with much more to offer than standard day-trip vessels; so whether you wish to scuba dive, snorkel, relax or all of the above - Reef Encounter has got it all!

Think you only have time for a day trip? Make time! You don't want to miss this...

For most people a visit to the Great Barrier Reef is a once in a lifetime experience, so why go for the day and miss the magic of waking up on the coral sea?
Don't just let us tell you we're a 'MUST DO' – let us show you…

Awaken on The Great Barrier Reef
