Matador Whitsundays
Overview
Set sail aboard Matador, a legendary racing yacht, and explore the breathtaking Whitsundays. Glide through turquoise waters, past lush islands and stunning white sandy beaches. Feel the ocean breeze as you relax on the spacious deck or help the crew hoist the sails for a hands-on adventure.
Snorkel world-class sites on the Great Barrier Reef’s fringing reefs, swimming among vibrant coral gardens, tropical fish, and sea turtles. Visit Hill Inlet Lookout for a picture-perfect view of Whitehaven Beach’s iconic swirling sands.
Savor freshly prepared meals featuring local produce, crisp salads, fresh fruit, and a hearty pasta dinner. As the sun sets, sip a cool drink while the sky glows in hues of orange and pink, then stargaze under the pristine Whitsundays night sky.
Note: Return time may vary due to weather and tides.
