Sample Itinerary

Itineraries are flexible and may vary with weather to ensure the best possible experience.

Day 1 – Sailing & Whitehaven Beach
Step aboard Waltzing Matilda and set sail through the turquoise waters of the Whitsundays. Enjoy the thrill of traditional sailing as you make your way to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Stroll along its 7 km stretch of soft silica sand, swim in the clear shallows, or simply relax on the shoreline. From there, take a short bushwalk to the spectacular Hill Inlet Lookout, where swirling sands and blue waters create one of the most iconic views in Australia. In the evening, unwind on deck with your fellow travellers, watch the sunset, and enjoy a cosy night aboard under the stars.

Day 2 – Snorkelling & Island Exploring
Wake to the sounds of the sea and a new day of adventure. After breakfast, your crew will guide you to some of the best snorkelling reefs in the Whitsundays. Dive into vibrant coral gardens teeming with tropical fish, colourful corals, and maybe even a sea turtle or two. Between stops, relax on deck as Waltzing Matilda sails you through stunning island scenery. Return to Airlie Beach in the late afternoon with unforgettable memories of your Whitsundays escape.
