Discover The Great Barrier Reef
An adventurous and spiritual journey, sailing the Whitsundays. Swim with green sea turtles as you snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef and discover Australia’s most iconic Whitehaven beach. Island hopping, hiking and yoga with an amazing group of strangers that will become like family.
How do you feel about crystal clear turquoise water, white sandy beaches, sunsets on sand spits, jungle hikes to epic views, and an underwater haven of over 1500 species of fish, seas turtles and colourful corals?
We will be experiencing the raw elements and energy of nature’s big blue, in one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable ways of exploring the Whitsundays Islands, plus there is nothing quite like sitting back with the sun in your face and the wind in your hair, being powered by nothing but nature.
This is an active trip involving daily yoga, hiking, snorkelling and sailing. However, we always take hikes at a reasonable pace and have plenty of breaks to catch our breath, there is also plenty of time to chill, enjoy nature and indulge in tasty foods.

Experts on the trip
JOSH WILDE
Meet the captain :)
This is Josh he will be our captain on the Whitsunday sailing trip. Josh has been living in the Whitsundays for the past six years. He is a passionate sailor, freediver, spearfisher and overall rad human. He affirms there is nothing quite as soothing as being out on the water, skippering the yacht and taking you out to explore his favourite spots and trust me, he knows the good ones. It is safe to say, It's not Josh's first rodeo circling the Whitsundays islands together with Condor, they understand each other, and we are in very safe hands.
