Itinerary
Start your day of discovery bright and early, with departure from the Port of Airlie at 8.15am. After a scenic cruise by the islands to pick up any extra passengers, unfurl the sails and let the wind take control. Speed across the crashing waves and enjoying a truly exhilarating ride through the open ocean. The Camira’s sleek lines, spacious deck and world-class engineering make her the perfect vessel for exploring the Whitsundays and Queensland’s stunning coastline.
Enjoy a thrill-seeking ride as you cruise through the islands and onto the most famous of them all: Whitsunday Island. Here, marvel at the breathtaking pure-white sands. This really is one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Enjoy a tasty morning and afternoon tea of chocolate mud cake, tropical fruit platters, cheese, dips and crackers and a selection of hot or cold refreshments. After 11 am, enjoy a beer or wine aboard!
You'll also have a chance to explore the beaches and bays, take a cooling dip in the turquoise blue ocean, snorkel through a myriad of colourful fish and soak up the rays of the sun on the island. Keep your eyes out for wildlife too, sightings of gorgeous loggerhead turtles and stingrays are a daily event.
After working up an appetite, tuck into a cooked-to-order BBQ lunch featuring locally sourced ingredients. Food includes steaks, sausages, chicken and fresh local reef fish and a large array of tropical salads, tortillas and assorted fresh baked rolls.
Once you've finished feasting, take a walk and sink your toes into the spectacular white sand along 7km Whitehaven Beach. Relax for a couple of hours before you embark on the adventurous journey back to the mainland!
This day of fun even includes an all-you-can-eat barbecue on the beach, unlimited drinks and morning and afternoon tea.
