For younger children, The Reef is home to a variety of age-appropriate kids’ clubs with supervised socialising and fun activities to enjoy. Whether you want to take advantage of Nursery (ages 6 months to 2 years), Splashers (ages 2 to 4) to Surfers (ages 5 to 8) and Scubas (ages 9 to 12), you will need to pre-register your interest and book a session.
