Sample Itinerary
Authentic Sailing
As soon as Camira leaves the marina, setting the sails becomes the top priority. See how the crew use a combination of manual technique and powerful mechanical winches to pull up the mammoth sails to cruise through the calm Whitsunday waters. As you cruise along, you can relax on the bow nets, lounge on the comfortable seats or seek out the snacks in the spacious interior cabin. Camira is designed for comfort and space to make sure you have the best day on the water.
Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach
Join in on a bushwalk up to Hill Inlet Lookout and check out the amazing view from the top. See Whitehaven Beach from above and the amazing swirling sands below! This is the perfect place to grab some amazing photos and take in all the beauty that nature has to offer. The bushwalk up to the lookout point will give you a chance to get up close and personal with the flora and fauna on Whitsunday Island, listening to the sounds of the wildlife and keeping an eye out for the cool creatures that live there! Afterwards, head down to the beach itself where you can relax in the soft silica sands and swim in the warm blue waters!
Sumptuous BBQ with Free Beer and Wine!
Camira serves morning and afternoon tea, a delicious barbecue lunch and all liquid refreshments are included in the price! A wonderful tropical banquet and seasonal salads are served for you. Fish D'vine, a leading Whitsundays restaurant, supplies all the food for your cruise. Camira is licensed to serve alcohol from 11am in the morning.
Pure serenity
On your journey back to the mainland, you will get to sail by the southern islands of the Whitsunday chain - something that most other day tours do not offer. Treat yourself to a beer or wine as you smoothly move across the water. By the time you get back, we can guarantee you will feel completely relaxed and more than happy with your amazing day exploring the Whitsunday Islands.

Your Responsibilities:
Please advise us before booking if any passengers are under 18 years old to ensure this is the appropriate trip.
You must reconfirm all booked tours prior to travel as specified on your voucher. If applicable, notes such as dietary requirements, pick-up locations and additional fees should also be confirmed at this time. Reconfirmations cannot be actioned through Sailing Whitsundays/Mr Travel, and must be done so directly through the Service Operator as specified on each ticket.
It is your responsibility to notify us of ticket discrepancies. Please read through the details on your voucher thoroughly to ensure all details such as passenger names, ages and dates of travel on vouchers are correct.
It is the responsibility of all passengers travelling to advise both your travel agent at the time of booking and vessel check-in agent before boarding of any medical conditions including food allergies you may suffer from.

The Service Operator reserves the right to alter prices and extra costs. Extra costs may include EMC fees, Stingersuit/Wetsuit Hire, Luggage Storage, Insurance, Linen Hire, National Park Fees, Fuel Levies, Dietary Fees, etc. Bonds may also apply.
We will also endeavour to communicate these extra costs with you at the time of booking, and on your ticket. However, it is your responsibility to confirm which (if any) additional costs apply with each Service Operator upon reconfirming your trip.
Travel Risk/Insurance:
It should be noted that adventure travel involves risk. Whilst we make every effort to safeguard clients, we cannot be responsible for personal injury or loss due to the actions of our clients which are beyond our control. We highly recommend that all clients have travel insurance covering illness, injury, loss or damage to personal belongings and not being able to travel on the confirmed date of departure. You should also ensure your travel insurance will cover special circumstances including weather events preventing guests from travelling to their tour departure destination and cancelled flights due to unforeseen circumstances.

The Service Operator reserves the right to limit courtesy transfers to select local accommodations. Private residences or Airbnb properties may be asked to meet at the closest confirmed location. Failure to meet at the specified pick-up location may be treated as “No Show”, for which the Client Cancellation Policy applies.

We strongly recommend that you have travel insurance, especially during the wet season.
In the unlikely event of your trip being cancelled or stood down, all guest communication is required to go through our Online Store via telephone or email. While there is a Sailing Whitsundays retail outlet located Airlie Beach, please be aware that they operate as a separate entity and are unable to access reservations made by the Mr Travel online department.
Refunds:
All refunds are in Australian Dollars and must be made to the card of payment. Sailing Whitsundays/Mr Travel is not liable for exchange rate fluctuations or fees, or any other merchant/bank fees associated with domestic and/or international transactions.
Where a full refund is applicable, there is the option to transfer the whole cost of the tour to another tour or “Credit” to avoid the administration fee. A transfer fee of $20 will apply.
You will be emailed confirmation once the refund has been processed. Once the refund has been processed, it may still take time for the banks to clear the amount. Please allow 7-10 business days for the funds to clear into Australian accounts and up to 21 business days for international accounts.
Accountability/Misconduct:
All Service Operators have the right to provide client feedback and to cancel bookings based off of feedback from other Service Operators.
