Rather than take a too-quick helicopter or boat tour of the Whitsunday Islands, take your time exploring them with this 2-day sailing trip. Sail between islands, beaches, coves, and reefs on a ketch sailboat. Two days to explore the islands leaves enough time for kayaking, snorkeling, short hikes, and group meals cooked on board.

Take two days to explore the Whitsunday Islands by sailboat
Travel on a ketch sailboat with air conditioning, viewing decks, and private cabins
Your guide takes you to some of the best spots for snorkeling and kayaking
All your meals are freshly prepared on board

Magical Whitsunday sailing experience

Paul_T, July 2021

Wonderful trip on a fabulous old boat. Viator (Summertime)team make sure you are safe and that you have a great time. Whitehaven beach, sailing, swimming, kayaking and snorkeling, with a jacuzzi on the back of the boat for lying in under the stars. Loved it!

nightmare on sea

Leon_K, Jan 2019

this was the worse trip we ever made.the trip started in bad weather conditions and the weather became even worse !basicly we had to stay 1,5 day below deck since is was raining and storming this period.we feel that the trip should have been cancelled due to the bad weather , but the captain told us to be positive.the second , after a horrible night in a sooking wet bed due to leckage in the boat , the captain told is it was not possible to go to whithaven beach before of the high waves and stong wind.he suggested that we could look a movie instead ! we paid over 400,- aus dollar per person and all we did was sitting down below deck.instead of a refund of our money we could a beer when we arrived back in Airlie Beach.so our tip of the day isdont go on the summertime , it is an old and uncomfortable boat ( not even a sailing boat as advertised ) and spent your monies on others things in the area of Airlie Beach!!!leon kuijpers , the netherlands
