First, consider whether you'd prefer a day trip or an overnight trip. How much time do you have to spend exploring the Whitsundays?

Backpacker Trips
The general category of 'budget traveller' or 'backpacker' is for those who are sticking to a budget or looking for a bargain, and often includes students and backpackers as well as flashpackers who are generally aged 18-35. These trips are ideal for those looking to meet and socialise with like-minded travellers. They have action-packed days and nights and cater to those who want a full-on trip!

If you plan to book a private charter, we recommend doing so as soon as possible, as they tend to book out as the departure date approaches.

All the trips in this category have all of the equipment on board, meaning everything is taken care of for you! Because they offer this feature, these trips generally attract an array of travellers!
