Cruise to a breathtaking underwater world, the outer Great Barrier Reef. Located 90 kilometers from the coast is Knuckle Reef Lagoon, Queensland’s most innovative and spacious reef pontoon - where the real adventure begins!

Snorkel in the turquoise waters, enjoy a glass bottom boat or semi-submersible adventure with Marine Biologists or get your adrenalin going with a spectacular dive – our favourite. Diving is all about discovering a magnificent underwater wonderland, colourful corals and an abundance of awe-inspiring fish and marine life. With over 150 types of hard and soft coral and 200 species of fish to discover, diving at Knuckle Reef is an incredible experience like no other. You’ll be completely wowed from the initial plunge to when you leave the water smiling ear to ear.

Curb your hunger after diving and enjoy a sumptuous buffet lunch before tackling some other activities available at the pontoon. Morning tea, afternoon tea and a sumptuous buffet lunch is included. There are two bars on board serving a full range of alcoholic and soft drinks (at own expense). Complimentary tea and coffee is available.

Embrace your inner child and scream down the giant waterslide, take a heli-scenic flight over the stunning Great Barrier Reef or, relax with a ‘Calm Experience’ massage, the choice is yours.

All the activities on the reef pontoon are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. Great Barrier Reef Adventures is Advanced Eco-Certified to ensure all visitors have an opportunity to preserve and appreciate this amazing aquatic wonderland for many years to come.
