We are happy to announce that our Whitsundays base is now open, for Australian residents only. International traveller bookings are available from January 2022 onwards. Please be aware that additional entry requirements and restrictions may still apply for this destination.
A world away from Australia’s arid outback lies a string of idyllic tropical islands, teeming with life and boasting some of the world’s most spectacular natural landscapes. These are The Whitsundays—a chain of 74 islands off the Queensland Coast and now home to our Australian* base.
For those wishing to leave the rat race behind, The Whitsunday Islands are the ideal South Pacific paradise. Home to the famous Whitehaven Beach, this lush, green paradise isle offers fantastic views across the South Pacific, where pods of migratory whales can sometimes be spotted making their way along the East Coast of Australia.
The vast expanse of the Great Barrier Reef runs along the length of Queensland’s coastline, and makes up the fringing reef of the iconic Whitsunday Islands. Snorkel and dive this subaqueous landscape, renowned as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and explore the pristine beaches, secluded coves and exhilarating bush walks of the fabulous islands.
Charter your own private yacht and sail the Great Barrier Reef on an Australian bareboat charter holiday. More experienced sailors will relish the opportunity to explore the Whitsundays at their leisure, stopping off at quiet, picturesque anchorages and striking out to discover the Great Barrier Reef whenever the mood takes them. A liberating and thrilling way to explore this iconic part of the world.
Level 1 destinations offer the easiest, most forgiving sailing ideal for novices and less experienced sailors. Lazy line mooring, line-of-sight navigation and calm conditions mean you won’t sail outside your comfort zone.
