SV Whitehaven - Eco Sailing Safari

FREE fun kayak tours, 2 FULL DAYS - MULTI AWARD WINNING ECO INTERPRETIVE TOURS; See MORE, Explore MORE, Do MORE... Eco guided island exploration, Whitehaven Beach/Hill Inlet. High level of reef, rainforest and wildlife eco interpretation by formally trained crew.

Affectionately known as the 'Beach Boat', our guests have the opportunity to see and explore the Whitsundays on an exhilarating yet relaxing 2 day/ 1 night eco-safari. During the day, passengers learn to sail, enjoy kayaking at their own leisure, snorkel over some of the best reefs around the islands and visit the world-famous Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout. And the best way to explore these natural treasures is with our experienced eco-guides who enjoy sharing interesting facts about the Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday islands, the local aboriginal Ngaro tribe and native wildlife.

The evening is just as leisurely with a scrumptious meal, enjoyable banter among your new-found friends and an informative talk from our skipper who has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the stars, constellations and the natural landscape above.

The boat itself is the ideal safari vessel, equipped with wide open decks, plenty of seating and a huge shade on the aft deck. She takes 24 passengers in total and offers plenty of room for relaxing and socialising below the deck. And when under sail, SV Whitehaven is a breathtaking sight to see.
