Broomstick Whitsundays - Tour Plan
REPLACE
Being faster than most charter yachts, the Broomstick will cover at least 100kms throughout the scenic Whitsunday Islands. You will bushwalk to the Hill Inlet Lookout to enjoy the spectacular views across white silica sand and perfect blue sea, before relaxing and swimming at the famous Whitehaven Beach.
Throughout your 4 day and 3 night experience, you will also enjoy at least 4 snorkelling destinations on the fringing coral reefs around Hayman Island, Mantaray Bay, and Langford Reef. Make sure you embrace the sailing life for those perfect social media pictures behind the helm, and don’t forget to ask the Captain and crew anything you need to know about the Whitsunday Islands and the Marine Park.
Please Note: This is a sample itinerary only, there is no set itinerary for the overnight cruises as your cruise is based on the weather and tidal conditions we experience at the time of travel.
