Your travel itinerary
Day 1
This action-packed adventure kicks things off in the paradise of Airlie Beach, departing the marina as we set off on an unforgettable sailing experience on the mighty Atlantic Clipper, the Whitsundays largest sailing boat!
As we cruise away from the mainland and sail towards your first stop, we will pass through to Bauer Bay at South Molle Island, here we will let everyone have a swim, play on the waterslides and enjoy the heated spa to get everyone into the tropical holiday vibes. From here we set sail to our anchorage for the night, Hook Passage. Crack open a cold one, kick back and enjoy as you have the best seats in the house for a tropical sunset over the Whitsunday Islands.
As the day moves through to night, have a heated shower and get ready for a delicious dinner, freshly prepared by a crew member. Now it’s time to mingle and meet new mates with an evening of music, flowing drinks, friendly banter, and fun games as we all get to know one another. It might be night-time, but you should keep your eye out on the ocean as dolphins come out to play near our spotlights.
Day 2
It’s an early morning start but we promise it will be worth it. You’ll wake up to a tasty breakfast, tea and coffee as we travel to the idyllic Whitehaven Beach. Once we arrive at Tongue Bay, our crew will take you to the beautiful Hill Inlet lookout, where you will see the creamy white swirls and crystal turquoise hues of Whitehaven Beach. There is no wonder it is one of the worlds most photographed beaches.
Now you’ve seen it, it’s time to feel it! Let’s head down and splash about in those blue and white swirls. Explore, sunbake, swim, and play beach games as you soak up those Aussie rays. It’s time to head back to the boat and upon your return is a beautifully prepared buffet lunch. Whilst you eat, we will sail to one of the best snorkel and scuba diving destinations. Atlantic Clipper has a dive instructor who can take those who purchase a scuba diving experience. Whether it be snorkelling or scuba diving this underwater world lights up before your eyes. As you explore one of the worlds seven wonders of the natural world.
Next, we will visit another snorkelling/dive location, here is where we will get the waterslides, paddleboards, and heated spa ready. For you as you enjoy playing on the Whitsundays biggest playground on water. After finishing up with an afternoon of water activities, we will head to the exclusive beach for a white party. White outfit, check! Party tunes, check! Sunset and good vibes, check check! Don’t forget, it’s lights out at 12am but you’ll thank us later.
Day 3
Ahhh it’s morning, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the crew are singing… LOUDLY to wake you up so have some breakfast and fill your bellies. There is no better way to fix a hangover than to slide down the water slide and dip into the ocean. Enjoy all the water activities or just lap up the sun on the decks before we sail back to the mainland.
WHAT A TRIP; and we’re not done yet! We love our Clipper Trippers, so let’s have one last night together with an exclusive True Blue after party! This is your chance to have one final hoorah with our crew and your newly lifelong friends as we get you exclusive VIP discounts on food and drinks.
