The Whitsundays
The Islands
The Whitsundays consist of 74 islands
located in the middle of the World Heritage
Listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. These
islands are pristine, with 66 in their natural
state. The area is well protected for future
generations through programs such as the
Ecotourism Certification, administered by
Ecotourism Australia.
Sailing
Since 1985 we have been providing
Whitsunday Sailing Tours. Guests can choose
between Maxi Sail, Adventure Sail, Tall
Ships or Deluxe Sail and Cruise. Whether
travelling independently, as a couple, or
with a group we have a tour option available.
Our experienced crew take the worry out of
sailing around the islands and reefs. With all
Marine and Park Permits, we will take you
to the best locations planned around the
prevailing wind and tides. There are many
smooth water stops nestled around the
islands, so overnight anchorages are pleasant
for sleeping and offer spectacular scenery!
Typical Tour
During a typical 2 or 3 day tour, along with
the Sailing, there will be time to:
> Snorkel coral reefs teeming with marine life
> Visit stunning sand and coral Beaches
> Go for Guided Island Bush Walks
> Meet our dive boat ‘Tornado’
Participation
If you want to participate in the sailing, you
can help hoist the sails, trim the sails, or
take the helm.
Meals
Our crew will freshly prepare all meals,
breakfast, morning tea, lunches, pre-dinner
snacks and hot dinners. Feedback sheets
completed by guests generally rate meals at
10/10 for all tours.
