Whitehaven Beach is heaven
Sailing the Whitsundays was the best part of my whole trip. Whitehaven's white sand is unreal and snorkelling straight off the boat was incredible.

Sailing dreams come true
Gliding between the 74 islands with the wind in the sails was unreal. Turtles on the snorkel, dolphins off the bow. Absolutely unforgettable.

Perfect Whitsundays trip
Great crew, great food and the most beautiful islands. We snorkelled with turtles, sailed at sunset and slept under the stars. Book it!

Stunning islands, tight bunks
The sailing and snorkelling were world-class and the crew were legends. Bunks are snug as expected on a boat but that is part of the fun.

Magic scenery
Whitehaven Beach and the snorkelling were the highlights. Weather turned a little but the crew adjusted the route and we still had a ball.

Whitehaven took my breath away
The lookout over Hill Inlet is the best view in Australia. Add in snorkelling, good food and a fun crew and it was a perfect couple of days.
