Reef Opulence

The Great Barrier Reef
Exclusively Yours

You’re invited to discover the Great Barrier Reef at its most intimate, indulging in an unforgettable journey to its vibrant heart with our new Reef Opulence package – crafted for those seeking an exclusive and deeply personal encounter with one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders.

Reef Opulence Package

At first light, your private helicopter lifts from Cairns or PortDouglas tracing the coastline as the rainforest gives way to the reef’s shimmering blues. Below, the world’s largest living natural wonder unfurls in quiet perfection.

The flight itself becomes part of the experience—a seamless transition from land to sea, where ancient rainforest meets the endless expanse of the Great Barrier Reef. As you soar above, the water shifts through impossible gradients of turquoise and sapphire, revealing the reef’s intricate coral formations from a perspective few ever witness.

Awaiting your arrival is the Reef Magic pontoon, a premium outer reef pontoon reserved solely for your time on the water. Here, your dedicated Marine Biologist guides you through a personalised encounter with the reef—pausing at rare moments, sharing deeper insights, and revealing the stories held within the coral.

Snorkel clear shallows. Drift above the reef for a glass-bottom boat viewing. Enjoy a refined vantage point to witness vibrant marine life during a private fish-feeding experience via our underwater observatory. Every moment is curated, unhurried, and entirely your own.

Between explorations, unwind on your private sundeck with a selection of refreshments, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Coral Sea.
