Whitsunday Getaway stands above the rest with its exclusive design, low guest numbers and quality service. The flexible itinerary allows passengers to see all the best of the Whitsundays, where keen sailors can take the helm, enthusiastic snorkellers can spend plenty of time in the warm tropical waters, and those wanting rest and relaxation can sit back and enjoy the Whitsundays weather! You will also get to visit Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet to enjoy unbeatable views, as well as taking plenty of time to relax on the sunny, beautiful beaches of the Whitsunday Islands. Spend time enjoying an authentic sailing experience, complete with sails up and wind in your hair, as you revel in the beauty of your surroundings.
Whitsunday Getaway will spend its evenings at peaceful, protected anchorages like Nara Inlet off Hook Island, allowing for a relaxing night's sleep on the calm ocean, where you can wake up to beautiful sunrises and unforgettable views. Whitsunday Getaway is owned by the local Dibbin and Roberts families, who care a lot about their vessel and the type of experience they provide and aim to make each and every trip an unforgettable one.
Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet
After all of your in-water excitement, Whitsunday Getaway will whisk you off towards the iconic Whitehaven Beach, where you can spend as long as you like sunbathing on the pure white silica sand and exploring in the shallow warm waters. You can join the crew for a short bushwalk up to Hill Inlet Lookout, where you can see the world-famous views overlooking the 7km stretch of Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet below. The swirling sands are one of the most photographed places in all of Australia and with good reason - they are never the same twice offering a new point of view visit after visit!
Sailing
What better way to explore the Whitsunday Islands than with the sails up on board a luxury catamaran! We keep sailing at the top of the agenda on board Whitsunday Getaway, always allowing our guests to have an amazing experience of a sail-powered trip. You can sit back and relax as the crew takes you around the Whitsundays or you can take part in the fun and help hoist sails or man the helm - the crew are always happy to get you involved if you would like! Sails up, engines off, the sound of the waves crashing at the bow... this is the sound of luxury cruising!
Snorkelling
The Whitsunday Islands are an important part of the Great Barrier Reef and its vast and diverse ecosystem. The fringing reefs of the islands are a snorkeller's paradise, where you will find amazing marine life, nestled away in calm coves and protected bays. Whitsunday Getaway carries a full complement of snorkel gear aboard including stinger suits, mask, snorkel and flotation assistance devices, so all guests can enjoy an unforgettable snorkelling experience. Snorkel with schools of tropical fish, and be amazed by the bright and vivid colours of the spectacular coral formations. The warm waters and calm seas of the Whitsundays are ideal for snorkelling year round, with an average water temperature of 25 degrees.
Stand-up paddle boards
Paddleboards allow for a great view of the surrounding area, and are a fun way to explore the reef and coastline! Keep on enjoying the sun as you glide on the surface of the reefs, having fun keeping your balance and paddling around. From above the water, you will get to enjoy the reef in a new way as you quietly make your way around while fish and other marine life hang out below. Great for spotting turtles, stand-up paddle boards are becoming popular all over the world.
