Snorkel at North Hook, the best diving and snorkelling around! Look for some amazing species of fish and marine life including the parrot fish, bat fish, cuttlefish, giant clams and clownfish. Not into snorkelling? No worries! There are plenty of other activities such as the waterslide and the diving platform, or if you fancy some chill time, relax up on the massive sun deck on the beanbags with a nice cold drink {not a bad life!}.. There will plenty of other opportunities to see the local wildlife as there is a pod of dolphins who try and get in on the clipper action on 8/10 trips, there is even the opportunity to see humpbacks whales whilst they are migrating (July – Sept).

We guarantee that you will have an epic time on this boat, it’s the king of the whitsundays for a party and good times.

You’ll be looked after by the incredibly friendly crew from the Clipper team and all of your meals are prepared and cooked for you by the onboard chef so you can kick back and relax. The evenings on the clipper are east coast renowned, you’ll enjoy crazy nights with your clipper mates, the legends that form the crew all with a cold beer {or 5} whilst watching the stars and partying on a boat in the middle of one of Australia’s most desirable locations.

We love this trip because it’s everything we love about travelling, beers, banter and beautiful places, you’ll make memories that’ll last a lifetime from your time on the clipper and will have stories to tell for sure….

I booked my campervan to travel in NZ via RatPack Travel, who managed to find me the perfect van at relatively short notice and with a discount! It was a real help to have someone do the searching and mediate with the company, once they had dates and information from me. Thanks for the prompt and friendly service!

This was the best customer service I ever experienced! I highly recommend you if you are looking for a Van or Camper to leave your email address so somebody of their team can get in touch with you. They compare for you all camper hire company’s and you can choose with one suits you the best. I literally talk to this awesome lady from Holland (as I’m only available after 8pm MEL time, so the arrange for me a call with somebody from the EU team for free) and she got our dream van for the most incredible price few minutes after we talked! And not even one day later I got my booking confirmation from the camper company. Their service is free of charge as they earn commission of your booking but this doesn’t cost you a cent. I did my own research before but the deals they give me was way better than I could find by my own. I highly recommend to get in touch with this team and let them find your Van. They literally saved us our fuel cost for a 3 weeks travel from Cairns to Sydney. Yes- that’s almost $1000 they saved us! Go and get your van! You won’t regret it.

Mike helped us with finding the best van for us for our 3 week trip and was very knowledgeable. With some quick phone calls he gave us the best quotes and walked us through the process in detail.

Great experience with the RatPack travel team! Really went out of their way to help us book our Van’s for two different trips! They have great rapport with the various Van companies, were able to help us book the last available Van for our time in WA and were able to get us some discounts as well. Zan and Mikey were both so easy going, made it feel like we were chatting with friends who genuinely cared about our travels haha, awesome guys! Definitely recommend the RatPack service, will save you time and money fellow travellers!

Mikey was amazing at helping us plan our 3 week schedule for the east coast. He went over and above to make sure that we were able to fit everything in that we wanted to in the time we have. His knowledge has been a great asset for us making an itinerary. Can't recommend enough!

If you want to book a camper for your trip, you should only do so with Ratpack. The team is incredibly fast and provides great service. No annoying comparison of providers, since Ratpack takes over. They are looking for the best deal and can offer great discounts. they respond individually to your wishes and give you additional tips for the trip. Since there is also an EU team, you could make calls at individual times of the day - simply excellent all around - thanks for everything

Itinerary:

Day 1: Meet your crew at 1:30pm at the marina and get ready to sail!! You’ll head off and cruise around the beautiful Whitsundays islands whilst you get to know the rest of the legends on board, kick back with a beer or 3 and enjoy the views. The crew onboard will cook you an epic dinner and provide you with bants and entertainment for the evening!!

Day 2: Wake up and take a bush walk up to the 4th most photographed location in Australia. Gaze down on the 7km of pure white silica sand of Whitehaven Beach. Sunbathe/swim on the beautiful beach for a couple of hours. Head back to the boat for a snorkel/dive at one of our pristine dive/snorkel locations in and around North Hook, then sit down in the spacious galley for a sumptuous lunch, freshly prepared by crew. Our extensive permit allows us to go to all top locations in the Whitsundays. Spend the afternoon with friends slipping / sliding / spa’ing / swimming/sloshing and sunning or just sit and enjoy the view on our comfy bean bags. Get on board for some evening drinks and prep yourself for your delicious dinner. Let our crew show you how we like to have fun on the top deck, or chill out with a cold one in the air-conditioned galley with our board games. Fall into bed for a good kip before our final day tomorrow…

Day 3: The crew will wake you up to have a yummy breaky before you begin your last day of sailing. Sail to another beautiful snorkel/dive spot and splish/splash/spa/slide and dive for some final fun on the Clipper Head home, for a final briefing and then spruce yourself up for a night (with any crew on land) for the after party.

Where to leave your main bag:
