Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet 
Whitsunday Island is home to the famous Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout. Here you can get active and play some beach games with your new friends or simply sunbathe and relax on the white silica sand. Hill Inlet lookout is known as one of the best views in Australia, so be sure to snap some photos to show your family and friends back home.

Snorkelling
The best coral reefs typically exist around the Northern end of the Whitsundays Islands. Renowned sites which Boomerang usually visit are Langford Reef, Blue Pearl Bay and Mantaray Bay. The exact snorkel location depends on the sea conditions and your knowledgeable skipper will determine the best snorkelling location on the day. Either way, you will see an abundant range of corals and marine life.

Layout

Boomerang has a comfortable interior that features an open planned accommodation. Because the boat is so wide, there is plenty of deck space to relax on and soak up the sun! When she really gets going, experience the thrill of your feet dangling off the side of the leaning vessel with the ocean breeze in your hair.

Similar to famous racing ships, Boomerang offers bunk-style accommodation. Comfortable single and double bunks line the inside of the hulls, leaving lots of room for social space. Boomerang is suited for those who enjoy sleeping in a shared space, taking the opportunity to meet new people.

Emily Plummer, 24 Dec 19
Me and 3 of my best friends took a 2d/2n trip onboard Boomerang for my birthday, and it was everything I imagined it to be and more! I spent my birthday on Whitehaven beach, snorkelling the Whitsundays where I spotted a turtle and in the evening watched the most incredible sunset. We met some fantastic people, including the crew onboard and just laughed for two days straight. I will be revisiting the Whitsundays in the future.
Anna, 30 Jul 18
My best 2 days in Australia, out of 4 months of travel!!! Amazing views, great yacht, super nice crew!! Will definitely do it again one day, on board of Boomerang for sure.
