Itinerary

Exact itineraries vary depending on the tour type. 

Depart Coral Sea Marina at 9am for Tongue Bay, the gateway to world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Enjoy nature on a short, guided bush walk to Hill Inlet Lookout with breathtaking views of the 7 km long beach – perfect for photos and a moment to catch your breath.

In the afternoon, head to the southern end of Whitehaven Beach: relax on the sand, enjoy beach activities or simply take it easy. At the end of the day, the ship anchors on the beach, where you can experience the first majestic Whitsunday sunset – an unforgettable start to the evening under the stars.

Start the day with a delicious breakfast against the breathtaking backdrop of Whitehaven Beach. Afterwards, you have the option of going ashore for paddleboarding, beach games or a walk to the Whitehaven Beach South viewpoint.

After lunch on board, you will sail northwards to one of the beautiful bays of Hook Island. If you wish, you can help set the sails or take the helm and experience the sailing adventure up close. A short afternoon snorkel in the clear waters rounds off the adventure before you enjoy another golden sunset over the Whitsundays. The day ends with dinner on deck under the stars, ideal for sharing stories and experiences.

On the last day, the morning begins with breakfast on the upper deck before it’s time to put on your snorkeling gear and explore the colourful underwater world of the coral reefs.

If you prefer it dry, you can go to the viewpoint on Langford Island and photograph the majestic 120-year-old Solway Lass from afar.

After a leisurely lunch, the sails are set for the last time and the return journey through the Whitsunday Passage to Airlie Beach begins, where you arrive at around 4 p.m. and your unforgettable sailing adventure comes to an end.
