SAILING ADVENTURE AND GET A FREE ISLAND HOPPER PASS! SALE & TRAVEL DATES

1 JUNE TO 31 JULY

2016 When you book the Camira Sailing Adventure Day Cruise you also receive a Free Island Hopper Pass to ‘cruise as you please’. Spend a day visiting Daydream Island and Hamilton Island at your leisure – you choose how much time you spend at each resort and what times you transfer in-between.

About Camira 'Camira' is a world first with her sleek lines, spacious

deck areas and breathtaking performance. Camira is one of the world's fastest commercial sailing catamarans, capable of sailing at speeds up to 30 knots!

Itinerary

Departing Airlie Beach then Daydream Island, Camira sails through the islands to our snorkelling destination for the day. Discover the underwater wonderland of the Whitsundays seeing hundreds of fish and coral. Then we set sail for the most famous island of them all: Whitsunday Island. Here you’ll be awestruck by Whitehaven Beach, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Whitehaven stretches for a spectacular seven kilometres and the sand is almost 100% silica, which gives it such a vivid white colour. As you step ashore and sink into the powder-fine sand you will realise why you came here.

At Whitehaven, you can enjoy swimming in the bright blue ocean, soak up the sun on the stunning beach and a superb barbecue lunch before once again feeling the thrill of high speed sailing as Camira sails back through the islands at sunset.

This fully inclusive day cruise (includes all your meals, drinks and snorkelling gear) is an absolutely amazing way to get into the famous Whitsundays sailing spirit and see stunning Whitehaven Beach. It is one of the most varied and exciting days on offer!

The Whitsundays is famous for its abundance of blue water fishing locations and recreational opportunities but the region has one fresh water gem that holds a first-rate reputation for tackling big barramundi.

Travel 25km North West of Proserpine and you will find the Peter Faust dam, also known as Lake Proserpine, which is home to 1m plus Barramundi and an anglers’ paradise.

Combine the fast growth rate of thousands of fingerlings that the dam is restocked with every year, and the fact that there is no closed season and the result is an abundance of big Barramundi year round. Landing barramundi is not the only draw card for fishermen as you will also find Sooty Grunter and Saratoga creating a diversified experience for fishing enthusiasts.

The dam has a healthy stock of freshwater crayfish and redclaw for night-time fishing and it’s an easy way to get the family involved in some boating and fishing fun. Pater Faust dam also offers water sports enthusiasts a prime location to get an adrenaline fix and a chance for the more laid back to relax at the scenic picnic and BBQ areas.

When one day of fishing, relaxing and water sports is just not enough for you , Camp Kanga camping grounds and cabins provide an opportunity to stay a while and enjoy all the dam and its surrounds have to offer.

The Whitsunday Region is home to the popularAirlie Beach Lagoon and Bowen Water Park Whitsunday Regional Council owns the Airlie Beach Lagoonand Bowen Water Park, both of which are free-entry facilitiesand open to tourists and locals alike. The lagoon provides a beach style swim with guaranteed365 days a year of stinger-free water and permanent lifeguards. The Bowen Water Park is a zero-depth, fenced area, and provides childrenwith a safe play environment just metres from the beach. Where else would you want to go!

Seehouse Teahouse IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME FOR TEA. With rustic heritage and old-world charm, Seehouse Teahouse in the heart of Sarina will transport you to an era of gracious dining. Dining here is an occasion; a chance to savour the moment, meet with friends or simply unwind in a gracious setting while travelling. Set in a century-old, charming Queenslander-style cottage, Seehouse Teahouse is the creation of Jeannine (Nin) Seehusen, a vision which stemmed from a lifelong passion of collecting antique crockery.

“Seehouse Teahouse takes you to a time and place that allows you relax and enjoy the company of good friends with great food. The eclectic décor along with beautiful gifts, the majority of which are locally sourced, provides a unique setting, perfect to stop, sip and savour our delicious slices and savouries,” Nin said Old-fashioned hospitality, friendly service and scrumptious homemade food is what makes Seehouse Teahouse truly adored. Specialty teas and coffee sourced from North Queensland ensure a fabulous brew, while the Devonshire Tea is just darling, with the fluffiest scones imaginable. The heavenly High Teas are also raved about.

If you’re looking for a unique gift, Seehouse Teahouse is a dream destination because it displays a range of candles, crystals, art and giftware; most of which is crafted locally.

A range of services and events are hosted by the teahouse, including the Seehouse Teahouse book club every second Wednesday!

Tarot and psychic readings are available by phoning 07 4943 1881 to book, held by readers Selina Soul Reader and Cherie Rose Mystic Reader. Keep an eye on Seehouse Teahouse’s Facebook page for upcoming events, including crystal healing courses and women’s well-being evenings.

The mood in the Teahouse is set for a timeless experience. `Sit for a while, sip on a cuppa, sample a delicious scone, browse the local art and above all else, relax and enjoy.
