These are overnight or multiple night trips on sailing boats which take you around the Whitsunday islands and Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Most trips are 2 days and 2 nights in total and have a similar itinerary which includes a number of snorkel locations, Whitehaven Beach and the bushwalk to Hill Inlet Lookout. 

A number of trips offer a different itinerary because they head out to the outer Great Barrier Reef or they have onboard scuba diving equipment which means they offer guests the chance to carry out multiple dives during their trip.

Throughout the trip, your crew/hosts onboard will prepare each meal and will also assist with any needs or requirements of the passengers.

The number of passengers onboard the boat depends on the type of trip it is – party, sociable trips have from 20-52 guests onboard, while the smaller group sailing trips can have 8-16 guests.
