The activities aboard the sailing vessel will range from helping raise the sails, learning how to tie a bow line, discussions on the environment and its importance and special features. Then, while relaxing with a cool drink as the sun goes down discuss with some new friends the days activities while our crew prepare the evenings meal and entertainment.
You will get to all the best places available on the day and while doing so will give you an insight into the ecology of the island and marine environments. Once anchored in a secluded cove or inlet you will be able to go ashore and explore the islands beaches and nature trails with our crew providing an informative guide. There is no better way to see the sights of the Whitsunday Islands than from a Tallship: So come sail a tall ship with Tall Ship Adventures Sailing.

Bookings
and Availability: |

advance without checking availability. In
the unlikely event that the vessel is full
or has been stood down we will contact you
with alternatives. |
