Explore Hardy Reef
Outer Great Barrier Reef, Australia
A Cruise Whitsundays day trip reaches the pontoon at Hardy Reef, with time for snorkelling and options for visitors who prefer to stay dry. The underwater observatory and semi-submarine tour make the outing more flexible than a swimming-only excursion. It is a long day, especially from Airlie Beach, so check travel times and sea conditions before booking. Follow the crew's advice on stinger suits and flotation aids, and confirm any medical requirements if you plan to add scuba diving.
