Lady Enid: an all-inclusive, adults only sailing experience to iconic Whitsunday destinations, on board a rare Australian classic yacht, with attentive crew and delectable meals.

With three exclusive tours to choose from, you are spoilt for choice. Choose two full day tours: Whitehaven Beach & Snorkelling, or Hook Island Cultural Tour & Snorkelling. Or if you are short on time, enjoy an elegant 2 hour Sunset Sail.

Barefoot luxury at its best, be welcomed as a valued guest, not just a passenger. Operating with a low number of guests, well below capacity, and three attentive crew at your service, you will want for nothing more. Snorkelling the island reefs of the Whitsundays is also a highlight of the Lady Enid full day tours.

The gourmet meals are a feature of Lady Enid's full day tours, including morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and as you sail back to port into the sunset a glass of sparkling and antipasto.

These small group, adults only tours are a once in a lifetime experience. Whether you are looking to explore and enjoy the famous Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, or wanting to learn about the history and culture of the Whitsunday Islands and our First Nations.

Sophisticated and romantic, perfect for couples and small groups looking for an elegant, relaxing, all-inclusive experience that is a cut above.

Lady Enid sail and Reef experience to Daydream Island

Discover a different side of the Whitsundays aboard the beautifully restored heritage yacht Lady Enid, where classic sailing, reef exploration and island relaxation come together in one unforgettable day.

Your experience begins with a sail through the stunning Whitsunday Islands, taking in spectacular scenery as Lady Enid glides across turquoise waters toward Daydream Island. Upon arrival at secluded Lovers Cove, guests are welcomed by Daydream Island's resident marine biologist for a guided exploration of the remarkable Living Reef. Home to thousands of marine animals, the Living Reef offers a unique opportunity to learn about the biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef and the conservation efforts helping to protect it.

Following the reef discovery experience, guests can enjoy beach-entry snorkelling in the sheltered waters of Lovers Cove, where vibrant coral gardens and colourful marine life await just offshore. There is also time to visit the Underwater Observatory for a fascinating view into the reef ecosystem from below the surface.

Lady Enid's attentive crew provide exceptional service, freshly prepared catering and the warm hospitality for which the vessel is renowned. With limited guest numbers and a relaxed atmosphere, this experience offers the perfect blend of sailing, snorkelling, reef education and island exploration.

Viper Whitsunday

Many visitors don't realise there are two very different reef experiences in the Whitsundays: the fringing reefs surrounding the islands and the world-famous Outer Great Barrier Reef. With Viper, you can experience the Outer Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach in one unforgettable day.

Powered by unique Rolls-Royce jet propulsion and a high-performance offshore hull, Viper is the only Whitsunday day tour combining Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet and Outer Great Barrier Reef snorkelling in a single adventure.

While many tours visit the beautiful fringing reefs around the islands, Viper ventures further offshore to the Outer Great Barrier Reef, where vibrant coral formations and diverse marine life showcase the reef at its best.

Designed for speed and comfort, Viper maximises your time exploring the Whitsundays' most iconic destinations. Enjoy a guided snorkel safari with all equipment provided, easy water access via the rear swim platform and stairs, plus onboard water toys including a waterslide and Croc Pad.

Your all-inclusive day includes transfers, meals, snacks and an experienced crew passionate about sharing the wonders of the reef. You'll also enjoy the Hill Inlet lookout walk and time to explore both the northern and southern ends of Whitehaven Beach.

Experience the very best of the Whitsundays and the Outer Great Barrier Reef in one incredible day aboard Viper.
