Description
If the amazing Whitsundays is truly paradise, then experiencing a day exploring this glorious region, on a luxurious historical tall ship, must be like heaven! Jump aboard the Derwent Hunter – a 22m historical timber Tall Ship – for an awe-inspiring eco-tourism adventure. This multi award winning tour will have you mesmerised from beginning to end, as you take in this amazing Queensland wonderland.
You will begin your journey with a delicious morning tea aboard the Derwent Hunter, before mooring at the unspoiled haven of Langford Reef. Here, you will have the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty, from both above and below the waterline. Don a snorkel and head below the gently rolling waves for an amazing insight into the truly resplendent fringing corals. The colours and textures of this underwater utopia will leave you in awe and the amazing sea life will completely captivate you. Next, dry off and breathe in the clean, fresh ocean air as you stroll around on a guided eco-walk on the sand cay. Learn about this amazing area as you find yourself spellbound by the breathtaking scenery.
Hop back on board for a delicious, fresh buffet lunch with your intimate group of like minded travellers. Then, experience the taste of salt and the wind in your hair as you help hoist the sails for your trip back through the glorious Whitsundays Passage.

Hi Joyce. There are plenty of comfortable places to sit on board the Derwent Hunter sailing boat with seats available in the shade and in the cabins. Customers on board vary in age and there are often more senior citizens enjoying the day sailing around the Whitsundays on board the Derwent Hunter.
