Itinerary

Itinerary

Arrive 30 mins prior to departure for check-in at Coral Sea Marina North End – Meeting point B

For the first 2 hours, sit back, relax and enjoy a Whitsundays sailing adventure to the first snorkel location. Here you will have time to snorkel. The fringing reefs in these locations are home to some of the most spectacular coral formations and an incredible range of marine life in the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsundays.

Step back aboard Tongarra and enjoy a delicious lunch on the deck in the middle of a small tropical oasis. The perfect place to relax and soak up those views before setting sail once more.

Our accredited ECO guides will give a history talk about the Islands and marine life. We are accredited Climate Actions Leaders and love to share our knowledge with our customers.

After lunch, it’s only a short trip to the spectacular Langford Island Sandbar. Snorkel off the beach with the resident turtles, hike the scenic bushwalk, or relax on the sands of this idyllic location. Relax, play, and explore the island for 2 hours and treat yourself to some fun activities such as paddle boarding and a banana boat ride.

Once back on board, hoist the sails and help take the helm as you chart your course back to Coral Sea Marina, returning with the sunset sail. So, grab your camera, feel the ocean breeze in your hair, and adventure to Whitsunday’s best lesser-known locations…
