Scuba Diving and Snorkelling in Airlie Beach

Half-Day Airlie Beach Sailing and Snorkeling Tour on Yacht

Amazing sailing tour with Paul!

My friends and I had a wonderful day at sea: sailing, snorkeling and some lovely swims in crystal-clear water. Paul was a great host and made the whole day relaxed and fun. Highly recommended!

Full Day Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef Cruise From Shute Harbour

The Beauty of Cruising the Whitsundays.

On Good Friday 3rd April my wife and I joined 4 friends for the 10 hour cruise on the catamaran Camira to Whitsunday Island for a 3 hour excursion which included walking to the 3 lookouts and to the Beach for snorkelling. Sadly the weather was poor and ocean conditions rough so that was challenging for anyone who suffered sea sickness. ADVICE. Take your seasick pills. Standouts were the incredible staff who were so professional and personable, the food and drink courtesy offerings and the general beauty of the area. Big shoutout to Annie our group host on the island. She was a young superstar looking after us. Also Harrison for the fun he provided on the boat microphone. Our Captain was very experienced and engaging. Totally recommend the experience. Easy 5 Stars

Full-Day Whitsunday Sail and Snorkel Adventure with Lunch

Relax your way round the Whitsundays

We booked the full day eco tour online from the UK, sailing on the Tongarra catamaran from Airlie Beach. We researched all the different options to experience the Whitsundays, and decided that we didn’t want a speedy tour zipping to Whitehaven and the other headline locations. We had such a lovely day with Patrick and the crew, and were very glad that we chose to enjoy this beautiful area at a more leisurely pace. The journey from Airlie Beach took around 2 hours and it didn’t take long until the sails were up, assisting the engine. The Tongarra has a lot of space up front, and we all lounged about on the comfy giant bean bags. It didn’t take long before Patrick brought round the first of the food - delicious brownies! We were lucky to see several whales and their calves on the way out and back, and our skipper slowed right down so as to avoid disturbing them and so we could get a decent look. Lunch was delicious, and we ate out on the front deck. When we arrived at the tiny island of Langford Island, we were taken ashore in the small rib/tender. Patrick showed us where to spot lots of stingrays in the shallows. He then led us up the short walk to the lookout and gave a really interesting talk about the history of the islands. After some time on the beautiful beach we moved to a mooring alongside a fringing reef and enjoyed a lovely snorkelling session where we drifted with the current/breeze from our drop off to the collection point. Top notch safety cover from the tender and everyone had a great time. After that it was time to start heading home, under sail (assisted by the engine) and my kids were delighted that they got to steer for a while. More food of course: crisps, dips, cookies, fruit skewers, cheese cubes and cheese biscuits. More whales, and a stunning sunset! It’s probably really obvious but it goes without saying that on this tour you’re likely to spend longer at sea and a little less time on beaches or snorkelling. This suited us perfectly. We had a lovely relaxing day.
