Hook Island Cultural & Snorkeling fringing reefs

Itinerary:

​

Valid for 01APR25-31MAR26: Explore the fjord-like Nara Inlet and immerse yourself in the history and stories of the indigenous Ngaro Cultural Site on Hook Island. Snorkeling is a big feature of the day; Hook Island is famous for its beautiful coral reefs to explore. A day on Lady Enid is all about you, sailing a beautiful Australian rare classic yacht, delectable food and a relaxed time frame. Lady Enid will typically arrive at Nara Inlet by mid-morning and moor in the calm anchorage, protected by the steep hills. Lady Enid Sailing crew will transfer guests by dinghy to the bottom of the stone steps, which take guests up to the rock art. Explore the moderate-rough walk up along the natural, rocky track to the cultural site. There is a wealth of information to learn up here with Lady Enid Sailing guides and the installations in place. Take time to listen to the recordings, read through the interpretive signage, and learn about the indigenous inhabitants of the Whitsunday Islands, the Ngaro people. We then make Lady Enid Sailing way back down to the boat for lunch. On completion of lunch, we sail to Lady Enid Sailing Hook Island snorkeling site. The coral gardens just off the island are teeming with fish and coral and are well known as some of the best snorkeling in the Whitsundays. Snorkeling is optional though, and guests not taking part in snorkeling can sit and enjoy a cool beer or glass of wine from the bar. We spend approximately 45 minutes at this snorkeling site where you can explore the diversity of corals, fish and all manner of colorful marine life that call the Whitsundays home. All snorkeling equipment is provided including wetsuits if required. We have a few favorite spots around Hook Island and will choose the best one on the day.
