Check your boarding pass and be at Coral Sea Marina by the meeting time. Please don’t be late!
Let’s Go! Your Whitsunday adventure begins!
Eureka will depart Coral Sea Marina and set sail for the Whitsunday Islands. With no set itinerary, your skipper will follow the wind and tide, to find the perfect sheltered anchorage to spend your first night.
On arrival, you may have time for a snorkel or swim before watching the sun set over the horizon, while enjoying a glass of wine or your favourite drink. Relax and get to know your fellow passengers while your crew prepare your dinner. After a hearty meal, enjoy a spot of stargazing before heading below deck for a good night’s sleep to re-energise.
Rise early on your first morning to watch the sunrise, enjoy a fresh breakfast and set off on day of adventure and fun.
You’ll stop to snorkel and dive over beautiful fringing reef, amongst hundreds of colourful fish of all varieties and perhaps even a turtle!
You’ll take a walk to Hill Inlet Lookout where you can take in the stunning views of Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet’s famous swirling sands, as well as spending time on the beach to explore, swim or take in the sun with a good book.
On your final morning, rise early again for a snorkel or swim before sailing back to port, taking in the beautiful sights of the islands, spending final moments onboard with new friends and making some wonderful memories to take home with you!
