Please note we operate sailing vessels. We do endeavour to use our sails but that depends upon winds and weather conditions.

Also, as we have sailing vessels, please also note you may get wet from waves, depending on the conditions. We are inside the Great Barrier Reef which means we are more sheltered than in the open ocean but if you have not experienced a sailing vessel, it is quite different for e.g. from a ferry. If you have any questions at all about this, please contact us.
Prior to boarding should you be suffering from COVID symptoms (or are in close contact with someone who is) please inform us immediately.
