WHAT YOU VISIT
Derwent Hunter Tall Ship
Experience the magic of a tall ship adventure aboard one of Australia's most famous tall ships as she plies the azure waters of the breathtaking Whitsunday Island chain. Your day of fun in the sun includes snorkeling (gear is included) and swimming. Help the crew hoist up the sails as the ship heads to sea or gaze out at the horizon. Enjoy tea while the crew regales you with historical anecdotes about the ship, the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef. Soon, the ship will visit a fringing reef and snorkelers may wish to grab their gear and dive into the warm, azure waters.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Witness the many wonders of the Whitsundays down under! Brightly colored fish, sea turtles, and corals are just a few of the amazing sights to see under the sea.

LUNCH
Your cruise includes morning tea with tea, coffee, chocolate cake, assorted biscuits and tropical fruit platter. The lunch menu offers a smorgasbord of fresh meats: roast chicken, ham, salami, pastrami and condiments; Italian pasta salad, Asian noodle salad, tropical pineapple coleslaw, green salad, multi grain/white rolls and wraps and tropical fruit platter; and dips: French onion, guacamole, tomato salsa, with cheese, antipasto, chips and fresh fruit platter.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Cruising out into the open sea you can't help but marvel at the varying hues of green, blue, turquoise and sapphire.
