Blue Pearl Bay is the Whitsundays’ premier snorkelling destination and a top choice for underwater enthusiasts. Situated on the western side of Hayman Island within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, this sheltered bay features crystal-clear waters brimming with marine life. Snorkellers can expect to encounter vibrant coral gardens, giant clams, sea turtles, reef sharks, and schools of tropical fish such as parrotfish, angelfish, and Maori wrasse. The bay’s calm conditions make it ideal for beginners and experienced swimmers alike. Unique coral bommies rise from the sandy seafloor, creating accessible underwater gardens just metres from your boat. Most Whitsundays sailing tours anchor here for one to two hours, providing ample time to explore. Don’t forget your underwater camera—visibility is exceptional, making for unforgettable marine photography.
Most Whitsundays sailing tours include all meals freshly prepared onboard, snorkelling gear and wetsuit hire, guided island walks, and visits to top destinations such as Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout. National park and marine park fees, professional crew, and all bedding and equipment are also typically provided. Some tours may offer additional activities like paddleboarding or onboard scuba diving.
No previous sailing experience is required to join a Whitsundays sailing adventure. All tours are fully crewed by experienced skippers and deckhands who handle navigation and safety. Guests are welcome to relax, participate in basic sailing activities, or simply enjoy the journey through the islands.
Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle. Bring a light jacket for cooler evenings, a towel, and a waterproof camera or GoPro for capturing the incredible scenery. Most boats provide snorkelling gear, but you may wish to bring your own mask if you prefer. Soft bags are recommended as storage space is limited on board.
