Sail through the Whitsunday Islands
This fabulous day tour takes you to uncrowded locations in the Whitsundays that many other day-trippers don't see! Instead of visiting Whitehaven Beach, you'll explore hidden gems around the northern end of Hook Island. The exact location for the day will depend on the weather and tides, but your experienced local crew will choose the best location for the day's conditions. SV Wings III has exclusive moorings at Langford Island, a little strip of paradise wedged in between Hook Island and Hayman Island. Other potential snorkelling locations include Cockatoo Point and Stonehaven Beach.
Snorkel
Wherever your crew decides to anchor, you'll have the chance to snorkel amongst the fascinating and diverse marine life of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Swim around colourful coral reefs, observe tropical fish, and maybe even spot a sea turtle or two. There are lots of incredible reefs for snorkelling in this part of the Whitsundays, so you're sure to see some amazing underwater creatures.
Stand Up Paddleboards and Kayaks
In addition to snorkel gear, this tour also provides paddleboards and transparent bottom kayaks. Cruise peacefully over the reefs and admire the reefs from above on a paddleboard! Sea turtles often like to pop their heads up and say hello as well. Paddleboards are an easy, relaxing way to sightsee out on the water, and the crew will be happy to teach you how to use them if you're unsure. If you'd prefer a seated water sport, the transparent bottom kayaks allow you to paddle around the reefs and catch a glimpse of the gorgeous marine life below you!
