Accommodation facilities onboard the fully air-conditioned vessel are terrific. Staterooms are modern, spacious &
bright with plenty of storage space, & all have en-suite bathrooms.
Reef Encounter has its own onboard water desalination plant so guests have the luxury of unlimited showers. The dining room is big & fresh, our
onboard heated spa is perfect to relax after a night dive or watch the sunset with a glass of champagne.
Our hydraulic scuba dive / snorkel platform makes scuba diving & snorkeling a breeze. Reef Encounter is large enough to provide all the comforts of larger cruise ships, yet small enough to enable access to spectacular reef locations inaccessible to other vessels. Reef Encounter is available for Private Charter for the ultimate vacation experience. Reef Encounter offers an outstanding opportunity to live aboard & spend a night or several nights on the Great Barrier Reef.
Reef Encounter is a team of like minded individuals who share a passion to provide the best environment for people to experience the Great Barrier Reef in comfort & style. We cater for peoples individual requirements & our aim is always to provide people with the best possible experience they will remember forever. |

Both my son and myself stayed out on the Great Barrier Reef for 3 days and 2 nights. It's a must do.
The rooms are spacious and well looked after. The Reef was beautiful and we were in awe of its beauty.
Alex our diving guide, well what can I say. Your the best!! Your all my son can talk about. I so trusted you as a parent with my son when I sent you out alone diving during the night. Your one amazing man. Blake will be back up there in 3 years to get his diving licence, you inspired him to get it.
Becs, you are such a lovely lady who just kept everything moving and was ever so helpful.
You are so a friendly and always so happy to make our stay the best.
Macca, thanks for your help when my son got sick. (this was his own fault, don't forget to drink your water while out diving, just a friendly hint)
Kate, thankyou for keeping a look out of us when we either went diving or snokling. You were lovely to talk to while I waited for my son to come out of diving.
Skip, thankyou for taking us to some amazing places to see the reef.
Alex our cook, the food was wonderful, and I was so ever grateful that I didn't have to cook for a change. It was always fresh and a variety.
Marcus, thank you for having our equipment ready for when we went diving and just being a lovely person to be around.
Benny, thankyou for being so understanding when we all played a trick on you. I don't think we had laughed that much. You do the scoobie doo run so well :)
Thanks again to Reef Encounter we will be back up again for sure. We would recommend this company to all our friends and family. |
