Tongarra Day Sail offers a large, comfortable deck, spacious seating, chilled tunes, and spectacular scenery. We provide informative history talks, and guests will learn about the reefs and beautiful islands from our experienced crew. Snorkel in a pristine location and come face to face with tropical fish, colourful corals and more. Sit back and relax while the sun sets on the journey home.

Check-in opens 30mins before departure at Coral Sea Marina North End, Meeting Point B.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy a sail for approximately 2.5 hours to the snorkel location. Here, you will meet the local marine life beneath the surface. The fringing reefs in these locations are home to some of the most spectacular coral formations and an incredible range of marine life in the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsundays.
Step back aboard Tongarra and enjoy a delicious lunch on the deck in the middle of a small tropical oasis—the perfect place to relax and soak up those views before setting sail again.
Our accredited ECO guides will give a history talk about the islands and marine life. We are accredited Climate Actions Leaders and love to share our knowledge with our customers.
After lunch, it’s only a short trip to the spectacular Langford Island Sandbar. Spot the resident turtles, hike the scenic bushwalk, or relax on the sands of this idyllic location. Relax, play, and explore the island for 2 hours, and treat yourself to some fun activities, such as a banana boat ride.
Once back on board, hoist the sails and help take the helm as you chart your course back to Coral Sea Marina, returning with the sunset sail. So, grab your camera, feel the ocean breeze in your hair, and adventure to the Whitsunday’s best lesser-known locations.
