Sailing Cruise to Langford Island with Snorkelling

Whitsunday Islands Experience Gifts: Discover the wonder of the Whitsundays with this deluxe snorkelling trip to beautiful Langford Island.

Small but perfectly formed, Langford Island is one of the jewels in the Whitsunday’s crown. With a dazzling white sand spit, mangrove-lined shores, and pristine reefs, it’s an incredible place to swim, snorkel, or simply bliss out. Board the ship at Coral Sea Marina in Airlie and kick off your shoes ready for a full eight-hour day of barefoot luxury and adventure. The timber yacht will glide north to Langford Island, through the Whitsundays as the crew serve a delicious morning tea, including fresh scones and chocolate brownies. Take in picture postcard views of tropical islands and soak up the golden sunshine as the breeze plays gently with your hair. Drop anchor at Langford around mid-morning and transfer to the sand cay by dinghy before exploring the idyllic island. Take a bush-hike up stone steps flanked by native Whitsunday bottle trees, to the lookout point where you’ll enjoy mesmerising vistas along the island’s spit to Hook and Hayman Islands. You’ll have plenty of time to ‘walk on water’ on the iconic sand spit and to experience the spectacular underwater world of the reef. The coral gardens around the island are a turtle feeding ground and you might even see one of these majestic sea creatures if you’re lucky!  After a full morning of unforgettable experiences head back to the yacht for lunch on board, featuring a selection of wholesome salads, charcuterie meats, seafood, and fresh breads. There’s a second snorkel site on the menu after lunch, where you can slip into the water and swim with thousands of colourful tropical fish or stay on deck and enjoy a glass of something cold from the licensed bar. A fresh platter of seasonal fruits will be served after snorkelling before the ship sails back to Airlie Beach with an antipasti platter and a glass of bubbles en-route, to round off the most perfect day.

This Full Day Langford Island Snorkeling Excursion is a truly fantastic way to see the Whitsundays, and makes an incredibly thoughtful gift for celebrating special occasions.
