Joining our Tall Ship sailing trip is ideal for those wanting to take a relaxing break from their busy travels along the East Coast and for those who want to experience the outstanding Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef.

There will be plenty of time for you to snorkel the amazing coral reefs that are teaming with marine life, visit beaches including the beautiful Whitehaven Beach with its 6kms of pure white sand and crystal clear water, go for guided island walks to spectacular lookouts, swim in the sea or just relax! While on anchor, why not try the tarzan rope swing or lay in the bow net enjoying an icy cold drink from the bar!

The Sailing Programme

Your experience of the Whitsundays will take place over 6 memorable days of exploring the area aboard a 105 year old Tall Ship. With 10 sails and 5500 square feet of sail area your ship will provide you with an authentic sailing adventure! As a fully Eco Certified operator, your crew can provide interpretive talks and information about the Islands, the Great Barrier Reef and the marine life, so that you can fully appreciate your surroundings.

Your involvement on board
The tall ship crew would love for you to get involved in the sailing of the ship – adding more fun and team work to your experience! If you are interested in helping out on board, the crew will be happy to spend time with you covering the sailing basics. Guests are welcome to assist "Hall Yard" and raise the massive sails ready to make the most of the prevailing Whitsunday breezes. If you would prefer to just sit back, relax and soak up the sun this is also absolutely fine!

Location

The ship departs from Airlie Beach and takes you around the Whitsundays, Queensland Australia.

Accommodation and Meals

You can choose between multi-share cabins or twin/double cabins and the cost of the programme will vary accordingly. We can also offer you pre and post trip accommodation for an additional cost! On-board you will be provided with freshly prepared meals that you can enjoy in the open-air restaurant, which benefits from spectacular ever-changing Whitsunday views.
