Itinerary
Day 1: Meet your crew and fellow adventurers for a 2pm departure from Coral Sea Marina. Set sail towards the Whitsundays, arriving at one of our favourite beach locations for a hang, swim and to watch the sunset while grazing on some delicious snacks. Once back on board you will head to your overnight anchorage location where it’s time to enjoy dinner & dessert, get to know your new mates, have a few drinks, relax under the stars, and let the calm water gently rock you to sleep.
Day 2: Wake up to a yummy breakfast as you cruise to Tongue Bay. Take a scenic bushwalk to Hill Inlet Lookout for breathtaking views of Whitehaven Beach and the swirling sands of the inlet. Once you have perfected your shots, head down to spend a relaxing 3 hours on Whitehaven beach. Lunch is served back on board before you set sail to your two handpicked snorkel destinations. Once you are snorkelled out (if there is such a thing), head to another one of our favourite beach locations for sunset snacks before heading to your overnight anchorage.
Day 3: Soak up the stunning scenery surrounding you while you eat breakfast before heading off for one last snorkel or a guided bushwalk on one of the islands. We then set sail back to Airlie Beach, arriving around 11am. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Enjoy the afternoon in Airlie, head back to your accommodation, freshen up and then join your new friends for an after-party with a reserved table, meal deals, and drink discounts!

Please pack in a soft small bag (no suitcases or bags with wheels please). We suggest swimmers, towel(s), sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, hat, spray jacket, sweater (in the cooler months), sandals/joggers/thongs for island walk, toiletries, and any prescribed medicines. There are no shops around the islands, so please pick up important items or treats before arriving at the marina.
Hammer Whitsundays is a BYO vessel, this means you are able to bring your own alcohol and other drinks onto the tour (no glass or red wine please). Filtered drinking water is included throughout your tour so please bring a bottle to refill as much as you like (and save on bottled water waste). Tea, coffee & hot chocolate is included however for safety reasons we do not provide hot drinks while our vessel is sailing or motoring around the islands.
Don’t worry, we supply additional floatation if required. We will do a risk assessment on every guest before entering the water. While in the water the small tender will be relatively close by. We also have staff on look-out duty. In the Whitsundays, the reefs we visit are normally off the beaches, so it is pretty easy to make your way to the beach.
Large bags and suitcases cannot be taken on-board. Storage services are available at most accommodation locations
