North & South Whitehaven Beach
Maximise your time on Whitehaven Beach with Blizzard, as your crew guides you to these bright white silica shores for ample time in paradise! Swim in the gorgeous clear waters, spot baby reef sharks and relax with a good book! Head on up for a light walk to Hill Inlet Lookout, for one of the best views in Australia. Then, get off the beaten track and explore the southern end of Whitehaven, where a quieter lookout nestled in the treetops shows off views of the gorgeous Whitsundays.
Hill Inlet Lookout
The views awaiting you at Hill Inlet Lookout are seriously something out of a dream! Step out onto the vantage point and be breath taken by swirling patterns and hues of blues, sapphire and turquoise dancing with the creamy white sands! Mother Nature really pulls out all the stops in this corner of the Whitsundays, so take it all in and snap some photos to remember your dreamy days here.
Great Barrier Reef Snorkelling
Don’t just look at the exquisite blue waters of the Whitsundays - dive in! The Whitsunday Islands are situated amongst the flourishing Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, home to psychedelic corals, green turtles, tropical fish, giant clams and reef sharks. Your crew provide you with a mask, snorkel and stinger suit before delivering you to the best secluded fringing reefs according to conditions. Experience the wonder of the Great Barrier Reef with Blizzard!
Authentic Sailing Adventures
One of the most unique things about the Blizzard trip is the vessel itself. As a Beneteau 50 sailing boat, guests will experience both comfort and adventure, with the wind in the sails and tropical wonder on the horizon! Try your hand at manning the sails if that piques your interest, or simply take in the sunset as you cruise through the calm, protected waters of the Whitsundays.
