Trip Highlights:

Enjoy the white silica sands of the one-and-only Whitehaven Beach. The perfect spot to swim, relax!
Explore the famous Whitsunday Islands and UNESCO’s World Heritage Great Barrier Reef by sailing on a 73ft ex-racing yacht! How many people can say that?!
Challenge yourself by bush-walking and hiking some of the island's best view points: Hill Inlet Lookout and South Whitehaven lookout.
Daily embodiment classes on the beach or boat that will leave you feeling relaxed, grounded, and connected to your inner being and your surroundings.
Go Snorkeling on the fringing reef surrounding the Whitsundays AND the Outer Great Barrier Reef. This is a real privilege - trust us!
You have plenty of time to explore, relax and not be rushed. We recommend you bring a book and/or journal to use in your free time.
Despite the boat having many comforts like rain & sun shades, hot showers, USB charging stations and snorkel/swimming suits, do not expect a luxury cruise. This is the real WILD OCEAN experience. Where real bonding & adventure happens.
We are proud to say that by choosing to travel with us, you are engaging in conscious tourism, as sailing is one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly ways to explore the Whitsunday Islands.

Water Wisdoms included in your trip:

The Mermaid Blueprint
-- Age Old Feminine Mysteries, ceremonially presented by Anua Moana ---

We consist of 70% water along with the planet we live on. All of the water currently on earth has existed always, and in all ways (rivers, creeks, oceans, tears, blood etc). When we dive into the ocean, fully embodying the mermaid, the waters of our being and of the seas connect in a way that allows us to receive the codes and wisdom of all of the waters on earth, activating our Akashic memory.

In this magickal voyage, we begin by unpacking the 5 main archetypal characters we embody & their tendencies, including the mermaid. Unraveling stories embedded in the depths of the subconscious, shedding light upon the water codes within & remembering to dream AWAKE. Flowing through the waters of the womb we will learn about the menstrual cycle, anatomy, and the energetics of the womb throat channel. Spiraling around and weaving in our innate connection to water, water rituals, and sacred ceremony.

Embodiment Wisdoms included in your trip:

Bridging Heaven & Earth
-- Holistic Embodiment, presented with Love & Lightby Holistic Osteopath, Tara Sadhana ---

What better place to learn to flow with yourself, than this magical oceanic paradise.

Embodiment practices will take place on the islands and the boat deck, and will consist of a mix of breathing training, yoga, holistic flow movement, awareness training & release and relaxation.

Your body holds all the wisdom you need, we just need to learn to listen.

You will receive guidance to move through a process of surrendering, releasing, and tuning back into your flow.

What to Pack:

Considering that this trip is taking place in the springtime and that we will be most of the time out at sea or at the beach, your biggest assets to pack will be, for sure, swimsuits and bikinis (what a life!). Add a pair of shorts, a couple of fresh shirts or tops and a sundress and you are sweet to go. Also, keep in mind that it can get quite windy when sailing, and also a bit chilly when the sun goes down. Therefore, we recommend bringing a cozy, warm sweater or jacket to keep you warm.

Activewear should also be added to your ‘what to pack’ list, as you will need it for the movement practice and the hiking days. We suggest a pair of biker shorts or leggings, a sports bra, sports shirt and running or hiking shoes.

In addition, we suggest bringing a towel, reef-friendly sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, hat, sandals/thongs, toiletries and any prescribed medicines. There are absolutely no shops around the islands, so please make sure you pack important items or treats before arriving at the Marina.

*** Please note that we have VERY LIMITED space on the boat, so please be mindful about the size of your bag. We kindly ask you to only bring one bag each, not bigger than a woolies / tote sized bag. If you have larger luggage, you can either leave it at one of the hostels in Airlie Beach or hire a storage service at Prosail’s office.
