Sailing the Whitsundays

What better way to take in the gorgeous scenery of Australia’s famous Whitsundays than by sailing around the chain of 74 iconic islands? With their impressive mountain landscapes, long stretches of white sand beaches and lush rainforest parks, sailing around the islands of the Whitsundays is a cruise like no other.

Don’t have time for an extended stay? No problem! There are excellent half-day tours available that highlight many of the most beautiful spots in the Great Barrier Reef. Departing from Airlie Beach near Proserpine and from the lovely marina of Hamilton Island, sailing excursions take sightseers and nature lovers on sailing adventures filled with sun and fun while showing off the immense beauty of the Whitsunday Islands.

Sunning, sailing and soaking 

Choose from sailing trips for couples, adventure sails for scuba diving and snorkelling enthusiasts, or ply the seas in one of the impressive tall ships as the huge sails catch a tropical breeze. Visit hidden bays and stop at secluded beaches or enjoy the sun on deck as your vessel glides along the waters that make up the Great Barrier Reef.

Sailing the Whitsundays is a great way to see all of the beautiful sights and take part in many of the fun activities within a guided tour setting. Convenient holiday packages not only offer accommodation, but excellent food and amazing island and Great Barrier Reef tours. If you truly want to see and enjoy the Whitsundays, a sailing cruise is the ultimate way to go.
