Explore the Whitsundays by sea kayak on a FIVE-day guided expedition of beaches, reefs and remote island campsites.
Experience the Whitsundays like never before on a fully guided five-day kayaking expedition through one of Australia’s most breathtaking marine wilderness areas. Paddle past white-sand beaches, camp under the stars, snorkel vibrant coral reefs and soak up panoramic island views. With expert guides leading the way, you’ll explore hidden coves, marine sanctuaries and remote beaches unreachable by foot or ferry.
From the famous Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet to the pristine waters of Hook Island and Langford Reef, each day offers new adventures and unforgettable encounters — think turtles, manta rays and technicolour fish weaving through coral gardens. With gear transported via water taxi, you’ll start deep in the islands and travel light. This is a rare chance to unplug and truly immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Whitsundays. Suitable for fit, adventurous travellers aged 16 years and over.
