Join Summertime Whitsundays, and snorkel and kayak your way across the Whitsundays on this relaxing 2 days and a 1-night sailing trip full of adventure!

Firstly, step onboard the 63-foot handcrafted timber ketch sailing boat and let your stress melt away before setting sail to paradise on the adventure of a lifetime.

Then get above deck to take in the picturesque Island views as you cruise through the World Heritage Marine Park. Not only will you get to feel the wind in your hair, but your worries will also blow away!

It’s time for some Snorkelling and Kayaking!

After that, you can join the eco-friendly guided Snorkel and Kayak tours, exploring the fringing reefs and hidden inlets as you take in the sweet sounds of nature at its best.

See the fantastic underwater world while you snorkel. In this case, you may encounter a Turtle or two!
Take some time out of your day to enjoy a smooth, relaxing paddle in the Kayak. Being one of the only tours with Kayaks, this is a unique experience!

Meanwhile, you can relax on the spacious open deck after your full day of snorkelling and kayaking activities.

Then enjoy a delicious BBQ meal, and watch the stars in the night sky.  After down onboard after the day’s activities in the hot water jacuzzi!
