This premium adventure begins on a 35‑metre superyacht known for its elegant design and spacious decks. As the vessel departs, the crew will outline your itinerary, emphasizing the dual reef stops and the highlight: a 10‑minute scenic heli-flight over the reef.

Your first stop is an outer reef location, where certified guides lead you through a tailored snorkeling or diving session. After an engaging morning session, the superyacht pauses for a gourmet BBQ buffet lunch. Enjoy fresh, tropical dishes with complimentary wine, all served in a relaxed, air‑conditioned lounge setting. After lunch, the journey continues to a second reef site for more water activities. The vessel then positions for a 10‑minute heli-flight with aerial views of Hastings Reef. Opt for an adventure that includes a guided snorkeling tour or an introductory dive with expert instructors.
