Fantasea Reefworld - Great Barrier Reef Australia
Fantasea Reefworld is an 86 meter floating pontoon anchored on Hardy Reef approximately 40 nautical miles from Airlie Beach on the Tropical East Coast of Australia.
Getting to Reefworld is an exciting adventure. Simply jump aboard one of the luxury air-conditioned high-speed Fantasea catamarans from Airlie Beach Marina and you will be on your way to enjoying one of the most wonderful days of your entire life.
The huge Reefworld pontoon is the largest of its type in Australia. Visitors are captivated by the beauty of the underwater playground in one of the natural wonders of the world - the Great Barrier Reef.
Reefworld is just a short trip from Airlie Beach. It provides a sheltered and protected snorkelling and swimming environment for visitors to enjoy all year-round. Fantasea Reefworld is internationally renowned for its ability to afford tourists with the highest number of colourful vibrant reef fish in their natural environment. No other Great Barrier Reef tour company can match the attractions that Reefworld has to offer.
There are literally thousands of different species of marine life to observe and enjoy. Reefworld is also known for its magnificent Queensland Groper who is affectionately known as 'George'. George frequents Reefworld on a very regular basis and is free to come and go in his natural habitat whilst interacting with divers. There is also a playful Maori Wrasse who has been named 'Wally' who loves to intermingle with visitors.
The Great Barrier Reef is of course known for its wonderful live natural coral displays and they often exceed all expectations. The coral can best be seen by:
- Swimming along on a guided snorkelling trail with rest pontoons
- Taking an underwater tour on the semi submersible 'tourist submarine'
- Experiencing an Introductory dive with fully qualified Diving Instructors
- Pre arranged Certified dive
Reefworld can supply you with your own snorkelling gear if you don't have any of your own. All snorkelling gear mouthpieces are hygienically sealed. Stinger suits are also available for protection against jellyfish and wet suits will ensure you are warm and cosy with added buoyancy for your ultimate comfort.
Fantasea Reefworld also boasts a great waterslide straight into the waters of the Great Barrier Reef. You have the option to do as much or as little as you like whilst enjoying your 4 hours on the pontoon.
