Whitsunday Sailing Trips Suited for Flashpackers

Many backpackers and flashpackers visit the Whitsundays every year to sail, relax, and experience the Whitsunday Islands. Flashpackers, which are backpackers with a better budget, have more disposable income and tend to book on the higher end of travel. In the Whitsundays, they often book sailing tours that have a nicer accommodations and are at a higher price point.
