Annual Neptune Oceanic Whitsundays Tour

Neptune Oceanic’s second day of its annual voyage from the Gold Coast to the Whitsundays!

Day 2: Waking up in the Great Sandy Strait with an unbelievable sunrise, followed by a quick refuel in Hervey Bay. After, we headed over to the Western side of Fraser (K’gari) Island, where we anchored and spent sunset on the beach with a few drinks!

Day 3: Departing Fraser Island with Lady Elliot Island in our sights, the ocean had different ideas. With seas running rough, we made the call to divert to Lady Musgrave Island and it turned out to be the right one. We wrapped up the day with drinks on the beach at sunset, one of those moments that makes you glad things don’t always go to plan.

Day 4: Lady Musgrave delivered one of the best sunsets of the trip and then followed it up with an equally stunning sunrise. A true highlight so far. We departed at 7am, bound for Great Keppel Island. With swell forecast to build past two metres, we made the call to pull into Rosslyn Bay Marina, where we topped up the fuel and settled in for the night. The whole crew has booked dinner at a local restaurant, so a good evening ahead.

We were up before the sun on Day 5, and the light coming over the anchorage made the early start worth it. The run into the Whitsundays was slow going, but the boats took it in their stride, and we were anchored off Whitehaven Beach by mid-morning for lunch. The climb up to Hill Inlet came next. Looking back down over Whitehaven from the lookout, with the tide dragging white silica sand through the shallows, is the shot everyone comes north for. Blue Pearl Bay tonight if the wind allows. A fantastic trip so far.
