New Horizon 2D2N

Itinerary

Whitehaven Beach
Our stunningly famous beach is often referred to as one of the world's Top Ten Beaches, confirmed by Trip Advisor and Lonely Planet. The stark white sands and cool blue backdrop provide the perfect photo opportunity, making it the ideal place to snap some shots so you can walk away with incredible images to share with the world! Thousands of visitors come to the Whitsundays every year just to see it for themselves and enjoy its unique beauty and soak up its stunning surroundings. Its pure white silica sand is actually said to have come all the way from Antarctica or is even the result of ancient volcanic activity. It's very fine nature means the sand is millions of years old and makes for the perfect place to relax, play beach games or explore. It squeaks between your toes as you walk around and doesn't get hot like normal sand due to its composition and colour, making it some of the most unique sand in the world. Come to experience Whitehaven Beach on board New Horizon and see it for yourself - we know you won't be disappointed!

Hill Inlet Lookout
On every trip, the vessel makes its way to the stunning Hill Inlet Lookout - another one of our favourite destinations! With views that justify its popularity on Instagram, Hill Inlet is the second most photographed place in Australia, only after the Sydney Harbour Bridge! The lookout point gazes down on the shifting sands of Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, where you can see the amazing swirling sands and surrounding islands. Every day is a different masterpiece made by nature, of azure blue seas and stunning vivid white sands. When you take the short walk to the lookout everybody says, 'Wow, what a view!'

Snorkelling and scuba diving
Explore some of the best reefs in the world, where you can snorkel and swim with the fish around the fringing coral reefs of the Whitsunday Islands. Immerse yourself into an underwater world, where you can see tropical fish, green sea turtles, colourful corals and more! Bring your GoPro along and be amazed by the clarity and colour below the surface, getting some footage and photos along the way. Snorkelling is included in the trip with several snorkelling opportunities on the itinerary. It is a must-do activity while sailing around the islands and offers one of the best ways to experience the fringing reefs of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. From the surface of the water, you can see the reef fish and corals up close, enjoying it in all its beauty. However, if you would like to dive further beneath the waves, New Horizon also offers passengers the wonderful opportunity to scuba dive! This is available for both certified divers and intro divers - Scuba dives are $99pp (maximum 1 dive per person). The price includes all gear hire and dive instructor. Please note intro divers are subject to age, conditions and medical questions and certified divers need to bring their dive certificate. All diving is subject to availability, MUST be pre-booked, and is paid for on board.

Watersports - Mega slide, stand-up paddleboards and MORE! 
Stand-up paddleboarding is a great way to have some fun on the reef while you're at anchor! This challenging and exhilarating activity is a great excuse to spend some time on the water, making your way around the reefs. Hop on and cruise around the reef seeing it from a new point of view, trying your hand at this popular sport! This is the newest and most unique way to experience the calm waters of the Coral Sea while on board New Horizon. You can also get the adrenaline pumping by zipping down the mega inflatable slide, or test your inner pirate by daring yourself to 'walk the plank' before diving into the warm water below!

Exclusive After-Party at Mama Africa's Nightclub

Just because the trip ends, does not mean the end of the service! New Horizon offers an exclusive after-party organised at Mama Africa's Nightclub in Airlie Beach. This is your chance to have one final hoorah with your crew and enjoy VIP discounts on drinks.
