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

1.00This trip wasn't good at all! Captain Kayne was such a weird, rude person. As a woman I felt uncomfortable around him. They charged us extra for vegan food. We then got salad without dressing and very little food in general. Don't do this trip as a vegetarian/vegan.
amazing experience with siska
