Water-based Tours

From the aqua blue waters of the Whitsundays, you can visit some of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world. Sailing, kayaking, snorkelling, swimming, sightseeing from the deck of a luxury powerboat... the Whitsundays has it all. An abundance of marine life and coral gardens brings the under water world of the Whitsundays to life and is an experience not to be missed. 

Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef is a highlight of a visit to the Whitsundays and whether you are an experienced diver or a complete newbie, the Whitsundays can show you the wonders of the underwater world. 

Sailing through the Whitsundays is something on many people's "must-do" lists, and there are many ways you can get out and enjoy the calm waters of the Whitsundays. Sail for the day, sail on an overnight sailing holiday for a few nights, or skipper yourself on a "bareboat" charter yacht for longer!

Whether you have several days, a full day or just half a day, there are a multitude of water-based tours to get you out onto the big blue yonder of the Whitsunday waters. We have listed some suggestions below.
