About this tour
Sail the Whitsundays aboard Siska, a storied Australian racing maxi with a distinctive red hull and spacious interior designed for socialising. Over two days and one night, you'll reach Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout via guided bushwalk, then snorkel the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The boat departs on odd-numbered dates monthly, offering single bunks or half-share doubles with all meals, snorkelling gear, and experienced crew included.

What to expect
You'll board a well-appointed racing yacht built for both performance and comfort. Days start early with breakfast, followed by sailing and water activities. Expect a mix of guided exploration ashore—the bushwalk to Hill Inlet rewards with panoramic reef and island views—and time in the water with snorkelling gear and stinger suits provided. Meals are communal affairs that encourage crew and passenger interaction. The cabin is compact but functional; bunks are shared or solo depending on your booking. Evening winds down with dinner and conversation on deck.
