Floating Hotel on Australia's Great Barrier Reef Step aboard Reef Encounter, our floating boutique resort, for your Great Barrier Reef experience. Live and sleep on the reef and see it at its best – day and night! Reef Encounter is an excellent alternative to a resort based holiday and a fantastic upgrade from a day trip. With daily departures from Cairns by boat or helicopter, stay for one or as many nights as you like in superbly appointed staterooms all with ensuite, or indulge and upgrade to the luxurious Top Deck Club. Accommodating only 42 guests at any time, Reef Encounter is large enough to provide all the comforts of the largest Cruise ships yet small enough to enable access to spectacular reef locations
