2-Day Whitsundays Sailing Adventure: SV Whitehaven

Itinerary

Day 1: Day 1

Stop At: Whitsundays Sailing Adventures, Airlie Beach, Queensland Australia
Day 1 - Trips Depend on Tide and Weather Conditions Depart Airlie Beach at about 8.45am. Once on board our friendly crew will brief you about safety and sailing, before setting sail to cross the Whitsunday passage. Get involved with sailing, and take a turn at the helm under the guidance of our skill full crew. After morning tea, at 11am either arrive at your first snorkelling destination or Whitehaven Beach where you'll walk the short bush walk to the wonderful Hill Inlet Lookout and then enjoy some time down on the white silica sands of Whitehaven Beach. Our crew will give you an introduction to snorkelling and take you ashore by dinghy to snorkel from the safety of a protected beach, a great way to gain confidence in the water. 12.30pm head back to the ship for a scrumptious buffet lunch of cold meats, salads and rolls, all freshly prepared on board. Then set sail for the next afternoon location. Set sail to our overnight anchorage at Nara Inlet, enjoy kayaking activities and visit the Aboriginal Caves and learn all about the Ngaro tribe from your crew. Enjoy a hot shower, afternoon Hor dourves, a cold beer or wine and hear our tree hugging crew tell some fascinating tales of life below and above the water on the Great Barrier Reef. Listen out for the friendly dolphin pods which frequent the Northern islands. Enjoy a delicious dinner, and enjoy some fun on the back deck, or find a quiet spot and star gaze before falling in to bed for a good nights sleep
