Snorkeling
The Whitsunday Islands are an important part of the Great Barrier Reef. The fringing reefs that surround the Whitsunday Islands are a snorkeler's paradise, with its protected bays and coves, teeming with colourful and diverse marine life. Whitsunday Getaway carries a full compliment of snorkel gear aboard including stinger suits/wet suits, snorkels, masks and flotation assistance devices to make every snorkelling experience an unforgettable one.

Stand-Up Paddle
Paddleboards allow for a great view of the surrounding area, and are a fun way to explore the reef and coastline! Keep on enjoying the sun as you glide on the surface of the reefs, having fun keeping your balance and paddling around. From above the water, you will get to enjoy the reef in a new way as you quietly make your way around while fish and other marine life hang out below. Great for spotting turtles, stand-up paddle boards are becoming popular all over the world.

It was amazing, our captain was so knowledgeable, our chef was perfect. The boat was great, with lovely cabins. I would definitely recommend this trip.
We had an incredible time sailing on Pearl. Carl and Jackie were amazing hosts and made the trip memorable. They went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. Thank you!
We had a fabulous trip on the catamaran. Our captain Aaron and Ella and Morgan were great. Morgan is a great addition to your team. Aaron knew all the snorkeling spots and is a wealth of knowledge. The food was great.
Fantastic experience and life long memories for us to cherish. Thank you a thousand times.
