Your travel itinerary
Sample Itinerary
(Please note this is subject to change based on weather conditions and tides)
Day 1: Meet your crew and fellow adventurers for a 2pm departure from Coral Sea Marina. Set sail towards the Whitsundays, arriving at one of our favourite beach locations for a hang, swim and to watch the sunset while grazing on some delicious snacks. Once back on board you will head to your overnight anchorage location where it’s time to enjoy dinner & dessert, get to know your new mates, have a few drinks, relax under the stars, and let the calm water gently rock you to sleep.
Day 2: Wake up to a yummy breakfast as you cruise to Tongue Bay. Take a scenic bushwalk to Hill Inlet Lookout for breathtaking views of Whitehaven Beach and the swirling sands of the inlet. Once you have perfected your shots, head down to spend a relaxing 3 hours on Whitehaven beach. Lunch is served back on board before you set sail to your two handpicked snorkel destinations. Once you are snorkelled out (if there is such a thing), head to another one of our favourite beach locations for sunset snacks before heading to your overnight anchorage.
Day 3: Soak up the stunning scenery surrounding you while you eat breakfast before heading off for one last snorkel or a guided bushwalk on one of the islands. We then set sail back to Airlie Beach, arriving around 11am. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Enjoy the afternoon in Airlie, head back to your accommodation, freshen up and then join your new friends for an after-party with a reserved table, meal deals, and drink discounts!
