Tongarra Itinerary

Day One

Tongarra departs strictly at 2:30pm from Coral Sea Marina in Airlie Beach. You will enjoy a relaxing sunset sail towards the beautiful Whitsunday islands and your first night’s anchorage.

Your crew will take you on a guided tour to the Hill Inlet Lookout and allow for an hour or two on Whitehaven Beach itself. The rest of your day will be an adrenaline filled snorkelling, swimming, and speed-racing adventure in the stunning turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

Day Three

Your morning will consist of more water sports and socialising with your new friends before a sail back to Coral Sea Marina with an arrival time of approximately midday.

Please note: All overnight tours are subject to tidal conditions, weather, and the professional judgement of your captain.
