Hardy Reef, on the Great Barrier Reef off Airlie Beach, is home to the Reefworld Pontoon.
There is spectacular fish life with Trevally, Coral Trout, Snapper and a host of smaller marine life as well as Giant Maori Wrasse and a 2m long Giant Queensland Groper that usually congregate for a free feed.
Snorkelling is excellent, as is diving off nearby drop-offs where you'll find turtles, reef sharks and barracuda.
