An Epic Whitsundays Itinerary
Set sail from Airlie Beach, feeling the wind in your hair as Avatar glides effortlessly over turquoise waters. Visit the world-famous Whitehaven Beach, where you’ll walk on pure silica sands and hike to the iconic Hill Inlet Lookout for a jaw-dropping aerial view of the swirling sands below.
Sail past Hook Island, Hayman Island, Border Island, and Whitsunday Island, potentially stopping at some of the following snorkeling sites in the region, such as Luncheon Bay, Caves Cove, and Blue Pearl Bay—plus secret locations the crew will select based on conditions. Swim among thriving coral gardens, spot giant clams, tropical fish, and sea turtles, and immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of the Great Barrier Reef’s fringing reefs.
Fast-Paced Sailing or Pure Relaxation—You Choose!
For those who love hands-on adventure, you can help hoist the sails, and experience the thrill of real sailing as Avatar cuts through the water with unmatched speed. Or, if relaxation is more your style, stretch out on the spacious nets, soak up the sun, and take in the breathtaking island views.
Incredible Nights Under the Stars
When the sun sets, the magic continues. Avatar’s underwater blue lights attract marine life for a unique after-dark viewing experience, while above deck, the Whitsundays’ star-filled sky offers some of the best stargazing on the planet. Watch the Milky Way stretch across the night sky, free from city lights, as the waves gently lap against the hull.
Delicious Meals & Social Vibes
Fuel your adventure with freshly prepared meals made by the friendly crew, with favorites like spaghetti bolognese, beef tacos, fresh meats, crisp salads, homemade bread, dips, crackers, and plenty more. Dietary requirements? No worries—all dietaries are catered for. Enjoy great food, good company, and the best sailing playlist in the Whitsundays as you make lifelong friends with fellow adventurers.
Please Note: The tour is estimated to return between 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM on the final day, but times may vary due to weather, tides, and tendering logistics.
