This 2 day, 2 night sailing adventure on board the Atlantic Clipper is the perfect way to enjoy paradise, meet some new travel buddies and enjoy an awesome party on the open ocean.

Sailing throughout the Whitsundays you’ll stop off at spots like the world famous Whitehaven Beach, hike up to Hill Inlet Lookout (for those postcard perfect pictures!) and snorkel at spots like North Hook.
If you time your trip well you’ll also get the opportunity for whale watching between July and Sept.
