About this experience
What to expect
After hotel pickup, head to the marine to board the boat. Once onboard Lady Enid you will be introduced to the crew. You will be given a courtesy bottle of spring water which can be refilled throughout the day as required. As you head out to sea, tea and coffee will be served with fresh scones, clotted cream and strawberries.
Arrive at Tongue Bay, adjacent to the famous lookout at Whitehaven Beach in the late morning. Enjoy an easy walk along the beautiful bush track to the Hill Inlet lookout over Whitehaven Beach, where you will have time to take in the view.
You will then make your way down to Whitehaven Beach for some time to relax on the soft white silica sand, and to enjoy the shallow waters of one of Australia’s most famous beaches. Return from Whitehaven Beach for lunch onboard.
After lunch, sail to a snorkelling site. Snorkelling is optional and guests not taking part in snorkelling can sit and enjoy a cool beer or glass of wine from the bar. Spend approximately 40 minutes at the snorkelling site. Explore the diversity of corals and all manner of colourful marine life that call the Whitsundays home. All snorkelling equipment is provided, including stinger suits if required.
Sailing back to port will truly be memorable, as you watch the sunset over Airlie Beach with a glass of Australian sparkling wine in hand. Enjoy an antipasto & cheese platter to finish off a truly memorable day.
*Order of activities changes depending on the tides, and snorkelling may be the first activity of the day
