Hook Island, Border Island, Snorkelling
Then a thrilling ride to the north end of Hook Island or Border Island, the best location decided on the day, for Snorkelling and marine life viewing. We will provide transfers to the nearest beach, and you can go for a snorkel at your leisure or simply top up the tan. For guests snorkelling, our small tender will be available to assist guests and ensure everyone is safe and having a great time.
Mid afternoon we leave the islands for the voyage back to Coral Sea Marina. The sun should be starting to lower on the western horizon so time for some great photos. Arriving back to Coral Sea Marina around 4:45pm and transfers back to local accommodation.
Whitsunday Bullets itinerary will vary based on the tide and prevailing weather conditions. We plan the daily itinerary around the high tides at Tongue Bay for ease of access for guests to the Hill Inlet Lookout walk and also considering the best snorkelling location based on the winds and likely visibility. Some days the itinerary is reversed, starting in the morning at the north end of the Whitsundays and then heading to Whitehaven Beach in the afternoon. If the weather changes and strong winds come in the Captain may change the itinerary for the safety and well being of guests, crew and the vessel during the day. There are on board bathroom facilities.
