Itinerary

Exact itineraries vary depending on the tour type. 

Your adventure begins in tropical Airlie Beach. After boarding, the New Horizon leaves the marina and sets course for the islands of the Whitsundays. On the way to the first stop, we pass the picturesque Bauer Bay on South Molle Island. Here you can swim, try out the water slide or test your balance with stand-up paddling.

In the late afternoon, we sail on to our night anchorage in Hook Passage. Time for a cool drink – sit back and enjoy the sunset over the Whitsunday Islands. While the crew prepares dinner, you’ll have the opportunity to meet new people. Afterwards, a sociable evening with music, drinks and games awaits you. If you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins playing in our spotlights.

The day starts early so that you can get the most out of your adventure. After breakfast, we head straight to the legendary Whitehaven Beach. Once in Tongue Bay, our crew will take you to the famous Hill Inlet Lookout, where you can see the spectacular white swirls of sand and turquoise waters – a perfect photo spot. Then it’s off to the beach: swim, relax, play beach games – whatever you like.

Back on board, a freshly prepared lunch buffet awaits before we sail to the best snorkeling and diving spots. Our diving instructors will give you the opportunity to book an optional dive. Afterwards, even more water activities await you: from water slides and paddleboards to the lillipad.

At sunset, we head for an exclusive beach – time for the legendary White Party! Put on your white outfit, dance to the party music and enjoy the evening in a unique setting.

In the morning you will be woken up by birdsong and our crew. Start the day with a refreshing dip in the sea or a ride on the water slide – the best way to clear your head after the party. Afterwards, you can use the last few hours to snorkel, paddle or simply enjoy the sun on deck.

On the way back to Airlie Beach, you can enjoy the view of the islands once again. Although your sailing adventure ends when you arrive in port, an exclusive True Blue after-party with VIP discounts awaits you and your fellow travelers in the evening – the perfect end to your unforgettable trip!
