Carnac Island Half Day Sail
Overview
Available languages
4 hours
Mobile ticket
This unique sailing catamaran offers a luxurious, small group experience like no other. A known haul-out location for the Australian Sea Lion and A grade nature reserve, Carnac Island's shallow, turquoise waters make the ideal spot for a morning of water based adventures.
Learn about the resident sea lions from our knowledgeable crew before heading off for a swim, snorkel or kayak (note: this is not a swimming with sea lion tour). If the easterly is up, the western side of Carnac is an absolute delight with limestone cliffs plunging into a spectacular anchorage perfect for snorkeling.
As we set sail for our return trip, we'll raise the sails so you can experience the magic of travelling only by wind. The perfect combination of luxury and eco-consciousness.

5.00The crew were great at making everyone feel safe and relaxed. The actual trip itself was amazing with dolphins, sea lions and loads of fish. Was just exactly what we needed.
Loved it!

5.00Amazing experience! Boat took us out to carnac island where they provided snorkel gear, a SUP and 2 kayaks. Snacks and a sausage sizzle were provided due to the bad weather. We absolutely loved this experience!!

5.00The skipper and crew were fab - made us feel at home, let us get involved in sailing the boat, helped everyone and made it really fun. The skipper really knows his stuff - spotted dolphins. The breakfast on board is yummy. Fruit, pastries and muffins - with tea and juice. And loads of it. The swimming can be chilly - bring a rash vest to keep you warm. Good fun on the drag net - like being in an ocean spa. Highly recommend- you can be in the sun or the shade, get in the water or watch - all up to you.
Lovely day

4.00The staff are really nice and helpful. A poor person wasn't feeling too good and they were very attentive. Luka is also a very skilled skipper. The island is beautiful and the water is postcard crystal-clear. They had good food, which always works well in my books. No wind when we went but the engines gave a smooth ride. Boomnetting was one of the most fun experiences and I recommend giving it a go. They were happy to share their video footage with me too. However, I think there were a few more people that wanted to have a try but didn't get a turn because of time/capacity limits. Maybe a time limit on the water toys so other people could have a go would have been great. Would do it again.
What an amazing activity!

5.00First time aboard a sailing catamaran and although there was no wind, so the captain had to use the engines, we really enjoyed the short trip. The crew was very friendly and helpful, and the provided snacks/ drinks a plus. The cargo net was fun too. Would definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't seen a sea lion up close. :)

5.00This day on the Capella was one of the best since my arrival in Australia. The team is really great and really attentive. I had the opportunity to swim with sea lions, an exceptional experience that you cannot live everywhere !! We even saw dolphins! I recommend this tour 200% to anyone who wants an incredible experience on the west coast of Australia! Thank you for everything !
