Best Tours for People with Blindness in the Whitsundays
The Whitsundays is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Not just beautiful to the eyes, but to all the senses. The warm ocean breeze, the lull of the ocean, and the soft textures of the sands at Whitehaven mean that you don't need vision to enjoy the amazing sensations of the Whitsundays.
As one of the most visited places in Australia, the Whitsundays has something to bring a smile to everyone's face. And while we each experience it in different ways, it doesn't mean that we can’t all enjoy the Whitsundays in our own ways. Tours in the Whitsundays try to be as inclusive as they can, welcoming passengers from all walks of life to this idyllic slice of heaven.
What are the best tours for people with blindness in the Whitsundays?
The best and most accommodating tours for passengers with blindness are CW Half Day Tour to Whitehaven Beach, Reefsleep, CW's Great Barrier Reef Day Tour and Sealink Whitehaven Day Tour.
As safety is the most important factor in any part of a Whitsundays adventure, each tour has different criteria and limitations on what passengers can do. If you experience blindness, most operators highly recommend (if not require) that you have a travelling companion during your tour. While the crew is there to help guests as much and as often as they can, they are unable to dedicate all of their time to any one passenger.
Travelling with a companion ensures you're having a guide who best understands your accessibility requirements and, if need be, who can aid you in navigating the boat and any other included destinations.
