The Great Barrier Reef boasts the world’s largest coral reef system, a UNESCO World Heritage area and is known as one of the world’s seven natural wonders. Situated on the North-East coast of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is a tropical underwater paradise teeming with vibrant corals, extraordinary marine life and incredible sights.
Every year, thousands of tourists flock to the Great Barrier Reef to experience one of the great wonders of the world.
A natural habitat for a breathtaking variety of marine wildlife, experiencing the Great Barrier Reef first-hand is often a bucket-list item for travellers all over the world. The incredible reef and coral eco-system of the Great Barrier Reef can be experienced by boat, on one of the many islands, by flight or by snorkelling and diving in the reef. Accessible by Port Douglas, Cairns, Townsville and Airlie Beach, the enormous and naturally stunning reef has so much to offer visitors.
Private Charter to the Outer Great Barrier Reef
The best way to experience the most breathtaking parts of the Great Barrier Reef from the Whitsundays is to hop on a boat and set sail.
One of the most common questions we hear from visitors to the Whitsundays is, "Is this the Great Barrier Reef?" The answer is yes! The stunning Whitsunday Islands are surrounded by fringing reef, vibrant ecosystems teeming with coral and marine life. Many tour operators take guests to snorkel in these areas, which are all part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, offering an unforgettable underwater experience.;
But that’s just the beginning of the adventure. Beyond the Whitsunday Islands lies the Outer Great Barrier Reef, a more remote and untouched part of the reef system. Unlike fringing reef, which extends from the islands, the Outer Reef rises from the ocean floor, creating vast coral formations and attracting larger marine life. Out here, there's no land in sight—just endless blue horizons and an awe-inspiring marine world.
So, how do you get there? Most tour operators in the Whitsundays don’t venture to the Outer Reef because special permits and vessel surveys are required. That’s where Wings Sailing Charters makes the difference. With our private overnight sailing charters, you can experience the best of the Outer Great Barrier Reef, often with no other boats or people around. Spend the night in a protected lagoon, completely surrounded by coral, and watch the sun rise and set over the open ocean—an experience few ever get to witness.
When you step aboard a Private Skippered Charter, you don’t have to worry about where to go or when. Our expert crew and guides have years of experience navigating the Outer Reef and will take you to the best spots based on weather, wind, and tide conditions. All you need to do is relax and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.
Outer reef additions are available for any of Wings Sailing Charter's private charters of 4 days or longer.
