Whitsunday Island Adventure

Thursday:
We take a bus from Bond to the Brisbane airport.  Fly from Brisbane to Mackay.  Spend the night at Beaches Airlie and have a BBQ.

Friday:
After grabbing breakfast, the start of our sailing and island adventure begins.  Our vessle today is not a sailing yacht, but a couple of high powered cruising machines!  If the ride doesn't wake you up, the beautiful locations we see will! Take a dip in the clear water in the crystal clear water on Whitehaven Beach, go searching for elusive turtles and take in the beauty of the area -- at 60 kph!  Whitehaven is a Whitsunday icon, seen in television commercials the world over, with sand like sugar.  After a wet and wonderful day we'll cruise into our Island home for dinner and a great party night.

Saturday:
Today is your day to get to know this island paradise, or just lie on the beach.  Undertake one of the included activities like a small catamaran, paddle ski, tennis, or take one of the awesome hikes on the island and check out the local wildlife.  It's your day to play however you choose, but make sure you save some energy for tonight!

Sunday:
Today we board our Maxi yacht to complete the must-do's of the Whitsundays!  We'll glide around some more of the area, then make a stop to get in the water and do some exploring with a mask on.  Here you'll also have the opportunity to strap on a SCUBA tank and spend some quality time with the locals.  We will spend some time in the afternoon here just soaking up the atmosphere and the sun on our multi million dollar vessel, before our final leg of sailing back into the marina.  We will head back to Airlie Beach to get our bags and then fly back to Brisbane.  Then, a bus back to Bond.
