About This Experience
Here's the perfect mix of luxury, nature and culture in the Whitsundays. Join this adults-only sailing tour from Airlie Beach to explore the very best of Hook Island! Delve into the culture of the sea-faring Ngaro people, before snorkelling off the island to explore the kaleidoscopic underwater world!
Sail to Nara Inlet on the luxury sailing yacht ‘Lady Enid’ — enjoy barefoot luxury as soon as you step on board! Start with a morning tea as you drift through the Whitsunday Islands, before arriving at Nara Inlet. From here, a dinghy transfer will take you to the starting point of the cultural tour.
The short but steep walk along the natural, rocky path will take you to the Ngaro cultural site. Put your learning cap on and listen to fascinating recordings, decode ancient signage and unlock the secrets about the lives of Whitsundays’ original explorers.
A gourmet buffet will be served on board, before your Hook Island snorkelling adventure commences. Spend up to 45 minutes in the water surrounding the island to discover coral gardens, schools of fish and other playful marine life. Not keen on getting wet? Stay on the yacht and relax with a coldie from the bar on board.
Cap off the day with complimentary glass of bubbly and an antipasto platter as you sail back to Airlie Beach. With the transfer back to your accommodation, the tour comes to an end! So, if you’re after something different from the traditional sailing experiences in Whitsundays, this is it — book today!
