Tell Me More!
This combo is made up of two multi-day tours; one is a 2D1N Whitsunday sailing trip, and one is a 3D2N K’gari camping trip. Your preferred dates can be accommodated according to availability, meaning you can do these tours in any order and whenever you want! Both trips include accommodation, meals and gear inclusions. The other details, like transport and accommodation before and/or after your tours, are up to you. The Whitsundays is about a 12-hour drive north of K’gari, which is why we recommend giving yourself a couple of days between tours. So, if you’re an independent traveller who wants a bit more freedom rather than a pre-planned itinerary, this is the perfect way to still save on the unmissable island experiences that Queensland has to offer!
