Siska - 2 day 1 Night - Maxi Sailing Tour of the Whitsundays
Overview

48 hours
Mobile ticket
If you've got limited time to make friends and visit the Whitsunday icons, Siska is the boat for you. This Australian built ex-Ocean Racing Maxi has a few nautical miles under her belt. But this hasn't stopped her from continuing to provide amazing tours of the Whitsundays!
She's one of the most loved Maxi yachts here, maybe because of her striking red hull against the blue Whitsunday Water, granting her the nickname 'Sexy Siska'! With a particularly roomy interior, there is ample seating and spaces for socialising in.
Visit the must see Whitsunday Islands icons: Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout via a guided bush walk, and snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Siska operates on odd days of the month. (i.e. 7th, 19th etc). You have the option of booking either a single bunk or half of a double bunk.

5.00I did the Siska trip with my fiancé and our friends and we absolutely loved it! We got incredible weather and a really nice crew which made it even better. The captain Matty was brilliant and showed us some amazing spots in the Whitsundays. The food was good and overall the experience was relaxed which was exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for a night on a boat in the Whitsundays I would really recommend doing Siska!
Perfectly organized trip to Whitsundays - fantastic experience with a great crew!

5.00The two-day sailing trip was really well organized and the crew was all the time doing its best that everyone felt well and all needs were satisfied! Cpt. Bones and Matt showed a lot of experience and gave valuable tips for each location, e.g. Snorkeling and the whole crew shared a fantastic sense of humor and vibe. Especially the taste of music of Floyd (deck crew) and his cooking skills for Spaghetti Bolognese were outstanding! I can only warmly recommend to also make the experience!

5.00Soo happy we came on this boat! We had the best experience. The crew are all super lovely. Big shout out to Zac in particular for constantly bringing big, fun energy and providing good tunes throughout. All the guys worked very hard to make sure everyone was happy! They took us to some great spots, the beach on the second day for lunch was stunning and the snorkelling was great too. Defo recommend this boat to everyone.

5.00The whitsundays cruise was the last thing on my bucket list for my solo travels in Australia and I'm so glad I booked with the siska boat. The crew were amazing and looked after us very well, set up the right environment to have fun and enjoy the beautiful sights here. Although there's tons of boats to choose from, this one was the perfect sweet spot of time and exploration on the whitsundays for me. Waking up on the deck to watch the sunrise is an unforgettable memory. A beach day, a short walk to a stunning viewpoint, snorkeling, sunbathing, food (and byo alcohol :)) and good chats with strangers that became friends just made my experience better. Definately worth it :)
Great time with the crew and colleagues beautiful cruise I recommend
