Solway Voyager (Tallship Adventure) 3 Day 2 Nights
Experience the tradition of tall ship sailing on this unforgettable 3 day, 2 night journey through the Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Solway Voyager offers flexible cabin configurations, fully air-conditioned comfort, and meals served alfresco on the deck under the stars. With space for 18-32 travellers, this historic vessel creates the perfect setting for making new friends during afternoon happy hour and swapping stories beneath a canopy of millions of stars.
Anchored in the heart of the Whitsundays, your time aboard is a truly unique adventure. Immerse yourself in stunning beaches, vibrant coral reefs, abundant marine life, secluded bays, and azure waters. Watch bright orange sunsets paint the sky before millions of stars emerge overhead, then wake to tranquil sunrises over the islands. From the iconic white silica sands of Whitehaven Beach to the swirling blues of Hill Inlet Lookout, every moment aboard Solway Voyager is one to treasure.
Onboard, enjoy freshly prepared meals using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients – usually served buffet-style for a great communal experience. With big servings and plenty of snacks between meals, you’ll never go hungry! Take the plunge off the legendary tall ship rope swing, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, or simply relax on deck and soak in the adventure.
