Cruise Whitsundays Great Barrier Reef Festival Auction 2025

Welcome to the Cruise Whitsundays Great Barrier Reef Festival Auction! This is the first year we're advertising an online auction, for one key reason - we think everyone deserves the chance to treat themself! 

In the list of items available for bidding or instant purchase, you'll find an exclusive ReefSuite experience - the first of it's kind in Australia! There's also two Reefsleep experiences, the perfect balance of modern life and camping under the stars with the Great Barrier Reef as your campground. 

We also have day experiences for the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet - there's something for everyone in here. And, the best bit? You can gift these vouchers to your friends and family. Early Christmas shopping, anyone? Birthday gifts for the person with everything? The uses are endless with these items. 

To make you feel better about your bidding and purchasing, all proceeds from this auction will go back into the Great Barrier Reef Festival - the world's ONLY Great Barrier Reef festival. The Festival is held annually in Airlie Beach, the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, and celebrates the natural wonder of the reef, conservation and sustainability and the township and marine operators who act as the custodians for this magnificent piece of the world. 

The Great Barrier Reef Festival is run solely by volunteers and relies on individual, business and Government sponsorships and funding to run each year.
