Get ready for an adventure you'll never forget onboard Solway Voyager. Experience the Whitsundays in style as you cruise through the 74 picturesque islands on this incredible tall ship. Tick off Australian bucket-list dream destinations including the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet and more. Meet like-minded backpackers who are keen to socialise and make the most of every moment while you're out at sea. Spend three days snorkelling with green sea turtles, hiking to incredible lookouts, sunbathing on white sandy beaches and snapping photos of postcard-worthy bays. End your trip back in Airlie Beach where you'll be greeted by a VIP afterparty where you can continue the fun with your crew and new friends!

The Solway Voyager was an absolute beauty and the crew was amazing. Arni was an awesome captain and the rest of the crew (Alex, Lya, Oden, Anna) were all amazing too. The volis (Ines and Aurelia) were also great. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hoping to do the Solway again with friends

Only complaint was the weather but no one can control that. I'd recommend the pirate series loved the curry dinner.
