Yesterday I got back from a two night sailing adventure through the Whitsunday Islands. It included snorkeling with turtles and watching sharks from the back of the boat.
We decided to go with Wings and were on the boat Wings III and it was one of the best experiences of my life!
I had the opportunity to scuba dive but chose not to because I had to take my glasses off so didn't think I would be able to see anything so decided not to. But actually when I went snorkeling I found that I could probably see better underwater with my glasses off then out of water with my glasses off. Even so I had such a good time in the water anyway and got too see things I've only ever seen in an aquarium.
Sometimes what makes or brakes a good trip is the company you are in and we got lucky because we had an awesome group with us.
Also the crew where awesome too and very friendly. Sometimes swimming in deep water can be a scary thing but you felt safe knowing that they where never far away.
On board we had all our meals included and the chef cooked some spectacular meals. One night we had honey soy chicken with potato's, garlic bread and salad and the last night we had beef stir fry. We got fed many times a day whether it be snacks or meals.
The beds where also very spacious which I wasn't expecting. I shared a double and we had lots of room to lay. It did get a little rocky one morning when we set sail at 6am and got woken by the anchor being pulled up but apart from that I fell asleep like a baby.
Its one of the best things I've done so far in Australia and I'm already talking about going back for my birthday in September!
