What to bring and what's included.

WHAT NOT TO BRING ON THIS TOUR

Glass bottles or Red Wine Sleeping bags or pillows Passport, Travel Documents Shampoo and Conditioner (Environmental Purposes) Plastic Bags (They kill our wildlife and smother our coral!) – Goon is not a plastic bag!

• anothertraveller2024 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A Must-Do Adventure Our crew of Alex (exactly what you’d imagine a skipper would look/act like), Savannah, and Josh (or Joel, or George, depending on the time of day) were amazing. The food was delicious, and I loved participating as a “mast-woman”. Although beautiful, experiencing Whitehaven Beach was easily topped by the three spectacular snorkelling locations. Experience the possibility of seeing all kinds of fish, sea eagles, sting rays, turtles, dolphins, and manatees. You may also get the chance to sleep on the deck under the stars. Be aware of the presence of wet season during this time of year, prior to booking, but find comfort in knowing the crew will not let bouts of rain stop them. If you’re looking for a short adventure, I would highly recommend sailing with OzSails. It’s a great way to meet people and see another part of the Great Barrier Reef. Although you may question your decision when you find out about the 1 minute shower rule, I can assure you, it’s completely worth it. Read more Written 10 February 2024

The food was beautiful and there was plenty left for 2nds. The beds were very very warm which we were told before however I think a small fan in each bunk would have helped any sleep issues with the heat - if you are thinking of booking on - 100% in summer bring a clip on fan as it will be a life saver.

After a pleasant morning sail, it’s time to visit the world famous Whitehaven Beach, with its beautiful white sand and tranquil coastline. Experience first hand why so many visitors rank this as one of the best beaches in the world.

After enjoying a few hours sun and sand on the beach, your crew will take you on an informative guided bush walk through to Hill Inlet lookout. This view is not to be missed as it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to view the stunning and intriguing swirling sands that make this place so well known.

After a superb buffet lunch near the beach, its time to get back onboard the boat and continue our adventure to the northern Whitsunday Islands to snorkel some of the best reefs in the world - full of beautiful and vibrant marine life, this is truely to be a highlight of your trip.

As the evening starts to set in, we set sail and prepare to drop anchor for the night at another spectacular location. Time to relax and reflect with new friends on the days activities.

Enjoy your final breakfast and take the opportunity for one last snorkel on todays chosen reef, or try your hand at stand-up paddle-boarding ( if available ). Afterwards, as we sail back towards Airlie Beach, take in all the beauty of the Whitsundays and it’s incredible archipelago whilst soaking in the sun and atmosphere of being on a sailing vessel.

Who travels with us

Is this tour for me.

Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 45, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture.

Our tours are for those wanting to really explore Australia and its many facets. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on experience.

The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast - although there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings.

As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.

What type of groups go on these tours?

Onboard our tours there are usually around 5 - 24 people ( depending on the tour and destination ). Lost In Australia's travellers want to explore the country and develop a real sense for the land, nature and its people. We travel in small groups which allows us to get from destination to destination quickly and effortlessly whilst being flexible and free!

Is it ok to travel alone on one of these tours?

We have many travellers jumping onboard our tours by themselves. Those travelling by themselves are very much welcomed and encouraged. During your outback adventure you'll meet new and interesting people and forge relationships that will last a life time.

Those who do travel by themselves will probably be sharing a room with a travelling companion of the same sex, but even if you do get your own room, you won't be charged extra. For camping tours, generally there are enough tents available that you can have your own if you choose to.

For more information please contact us directly.

How many people will be on tour?

Group sizes vary from tour to tour. You can find the size of your group by checking out information at the top right hand corner of the tour page. Group sizes range of 5 - 24 people.

Some tours however have a restriction on children under the age of 16 - 18. This will depend on the destination so please email us for more info.

Cost and Fees

What does "paid locally" mean.

Some tours require you to pay national park fees directly, in cash, to the tour guide on the morning of departure. Rest assured this will be subtracted from the tour price when reserving your tour.

Will I need additional money?

Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.

Do I need to tip our guide?

If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary in Australia and is not at all expected.

Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?

Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.

Whilst on tour

Definitely - We know Australia inside and out and would be happy to give you good recommodations.

We can certain cater for most dietary needs. Please advise us at the time of your booking so arrangements can be made. For travellers with more extreme diets we may ask that you bring along additional snacks.

What is the weather like on the east coast?

The east coast of Australia is an extremely long piece of coastline and it traverses very different weather patterns, from the temperate south in Sydney to the tropical north in Cairns. Irrespective of the season, In summer, if you are travelling between Sydney and Cairns, you are probably going to either experience wetter more humid weather nearer Cairns. In winter months, clear and dry conditions near cairns and cooler and wetter weather nearer Sydney.

Can I travel with children?

Is there drinking water on the boat.

Yes, all our vessels have fresh tap water suitable for drinking.  If you prefer bottled water you can purchase this on board most vessels. Remember to drink at least 2 litres of water per person per day!

• Shared single – single bed in a dorm situation

• Private twin – two single beds in a private cabin
• Private double – double bed in a private cabin
• Private Stateroom – double bed in a large private cabin

This can be booked through our "Optional Extras" Section.

Will there be jelly fish?

At certain times of year ‘dangerous’ jellyfish inhabit these waters and passengers should take care for their own safety.  'Stinger Season' in the Whitsundays runs every year generally from October through to May. During this period, jellyfish can be found in the waters around the mainland, islands and have occasionally been found out on the reef.  Passengers entering the water do so at their own risk and the owners or operators of the vessel will not be liable for any personal injury, illness, death or any other consequences whatsoever of passengers being stung by jellyfish. To minimise this risk you will be provided with a full length protective ‘Stinger Suit’ to wear whilst swimming and snorkelling during the cruise.  We highly recommend these be worn all year round, some vessels make it compulsory for the safety of the guests. Not only are they for safety but they keep you warm in the water, act as sun protection and are a great aid for buoyancy while snorkelling.

Meals / Allergies

We have a great menu for you, however we do need to be informed at check-in if you have special dietary requirements. If you have any medical conditions/food allergies please advise at booking and again at check-in.

• 127caitline 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great experience!! Very good experience to do whilst going up or down the east coast, got taken to the best snorkelling spots before it got busy. We were very well looked after and felt very safe and at ease. The skipper informed us of various facts surrounding the whitsundays and general facts about marine life! The food was beautiful and there was plenty left for 2nds. The beds were very very warm which we were told before however I think a small fan in each bunk would have helped any sleep issues with the heat - if you are thinking of booking on - 100% in summer bring a clip on fan as it will be a life saver.

The live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender had a big premiere week.

The remake of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series opened at No. 1 overall on Nielsen’s streaming charts for Feb. 19-25. Avatar had 2.56 billion minutes of viewing in the United States over its first four days (it premiered Feb. 22), the second biggest week for any streaming title in 2024 so far (behind the 3.04 billion for Fool Me Once in early January).

HBO’s True Detective had its best showing of the year to date the week after its fourth season finale, growing by 15 percent to 889 million minutes of viewing on Max (that tally doesn’t include any linear viewing on HBO’s cable channels). Warrior became the latest recipient of the Netflix bump, as the canceled Max series finished fourth overall with 948 million minutes on Max (where it continues to stream) and Netflix.

Behind Avatar and Love Is Blind , there was a steep dropoff in time viewed for original series. Netflix’s One Day finished third, but its 454 million minutes of viewing was less than a fifth of Love Is Blind ‘s total. It’s one of the biggest gaps between second and third place on Nielsen’s original streaming series chart in its 3 1/2-year history. Masters of the Air (271 million minutes) improved by 11.5 percent week to week for Apple TV+.

Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries. The top streaming titles for Feb. 19-25, 2024, are below.
