Description

Jump on board for a day to remember! We visit the iconic Whitehaven Beach on a 62-ft gaff rigged schooner. Walk to the Hill Inlet lookout to see one of the most photographed beaches in the world. Spend time on the dazzling white sand. Swim in the pristine turquoise waters. Then jump on board for lunch as we head out to some fringing coral reef for snorkelling on some beautiful coral teeming with fish. Chance to see turtles and spot dolphins and in July/August you might see some whales. This is where they come to calf in the winter months. Help out with the sails and belay a cleat or two or chill on deck.
