Here's your opportunity to visit the world's richest marine habitat, Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

In just one hour and twenty minutes, your high-speed motor catamaran glides swiftly from Crystal Symphony's anchorage, through the magnificent Whitsunday Islands, to the pontoon at Hardy Reef.  A marine biologist will be on board to prepare you for the exquisitely beautiful underwater world that lies ahead.

On arrival at the pontoon the range of activities seems limitless.  Revel in spectacular underwater vistas from the pontoon's viewing chamber.  Later, take the semi-submersible for matchless panoramas of colorful tropical fish and intricate coral gardens.  Inviting aquamarine waters provide a tempting attraction for those wishing to swim with mask and snorkel.  Scuba diving will also be available, at extra charge.

A delicious buffet lunch of salads, cold meats, chicken and fresh fruits will be served on board the catamaran.  Wine, beer and soft drinks will be freely available throughout the day.  You'll return directly to Crystal Symphony shortly before sailing.

Limited space will be available for optional helicopter flightseeing at the pontoon.   Your Shore Excursion staff aboard Crystal Symphony will be pleased to proved details.

This excursion is an experience not to be missed!

Approximately 6-1/2 hours.
