The IslandsThe 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 TourDuring 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’

ParticipationIf you want to participate in the sailing, you can help hoist the sails, trim the sails, or take the helm.

MealsOur 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.
