Fantasea offers you the opportunity to experience just this - the unique peace and tranquility of a night on the Great Barrier Reef. It all starts once the day-trippers have departed. Once the final boat has departed, you will have the reef all to yourself - apart from a few million fish! Relax. Sit back with a glass of champagne and watch the sunset and the stars rise from the top deck. Then check out the reef life from the comfort of the underwater viewing chamber. Your own personal Deck Steward ensures your stay is as comfortable as it is colourful. Drinks are served at dusk and dinner under the stars. And you get breakfast on the reef the following morning. What could be more magical than this?

Nestled in the bush overlooking the calm waters of the Great Sandy Strait, the award-winning, ecotourism Kingfisher Bay Resort on World Heritage-listed Fraser Island caters to almost every whim. The resort provides a wilderness experience with ‘creature comforts’. Resort guests can join a Ranger-guided 4WD tour or make their own tracks across the island. There’s double the action for kids with the popular Junior Eco Rangers program, fishing clinics, canoes, water sports or tennis. And at the end of the day, relax poolside with a cocktail, indulge in a massage or enjoy superb food and wine.
