Coral Trekker - 3 & 6 Night Cruises
Sail the Whitsunday Islands on a square rigger - with the warm wooden deck beneath your feet and the tropical sun above, Barefoot Cruises offers Coral Trekker where you will sail away for an adventure of a lifetime. There is nothing that will quite match the feeling of standing on the deck with the wind in your face and the salt in the air, as you watch the huge red sails billowing in the wind.
Join the crew in the rigging (they'll show you the ropes) or just sit back and relax on the wide timber decks. The itinerary is unhurried, setting aside lots of time for strolling secluded beaches, snorkelling and hiking national park trails in the Great Barrier Reef.
Built in Norway in 1939, this traditional sailing ship displays a unique and charming character. With topsail's, t'gallants and yardarms she has all the olde world charm and romance of yesteryear.
