About this experience

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.
