Whitehaven Beach & Hill Inlet LookoutNo visit to the Whitsundays is complete without visiting Whitehaven Beach! This island paradise is famous for its silky white silica sand and its refreshing turquoise water. Spend some time paddleboarding around the beaches, sunbathing on the sand, and soaking in those tropical views. You can also hike up to Hill Inlet Lookout to capture the best photos of the iconic swirling sands! |

Snorkelling in the Great Barrier ReefThe Whitsundays are home to the fringing reefs of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, making them a haven for snorkelling and diving! Snorkel gear is included so you can explore the underwater world with ease. Spot tropical fish, unqiue coral formations, and perhaps a sea turtle or reef shark. The underwater ecosystems are stunning, and you'll have ample time to snorkel during your tour on Summer Jo. |

Scuba DivingSummer Jo also provides scuba diving onboard! Whether you're a certified diver or you're a newbie who wants to learn, Summer Jo has excellent instructors and dive equipment so you can explore even further under the surface. Dives cost extra and you can pay for them onboard. There is even an opportunity to try night diving, where you can gain a new perspective of the marine life activity in the Whitsundays.

We booked for 2 days 2 nights on the Summer Jo, the rest of the trip was amazing. 1st night we got to know others on board, most of the people were in their 20s, we are in our 60s, thought it may be a problem, not so, in fact it restored our faith in young people, they were amazing, polite, fun & included us in most of the things that went on. Dan who owns the boat was great, I wanted to do a scuba dive but was very afraid, he personally took me on a one-to-one, I had completely put my faith in him and completed the dive. We went to beautiful beaches, snorkeled, food was good, Dan's team were very helpful ????we even went to the after party when we got back, so much fun. It wasn't luxury but we had the time of our lives, thanks to all especially the young people, Sheila and Bob x
