About

Explore Whitsundays has been taking travellers beyond Airlie Beach and into the heart of the Whitsunday Islands for decades. From iconic Whitehaven Beach and colourful coral reefs to secluded bays and nights spent under the stars, our trips are all about experiencing more of this incredible part of the world. Our fleet offers something for every kind of traveller — from traditional tall-ship sailing aboard Solway Lass, to relaxed island adventures on Prima and Waltzing Matilda, and diving the Outer Great Barrier Reef aboard Summer Jo. Whether you’re here to sail, snorkel, dive, explore or simply switch off for a few days, we’ll show you the Whitsundays the way they’re meant to be experienced — from the water.
