Reef and Island Tours from Port Douglas
Sailaway sets the standards high for nature based, snorkelling and sailing experiences on the Great Barrier Reef.
Our commitment to Eco Tourism is an opportunity to increase awareness and appreciation of our natural environment.
Our focus is on 1st class service, small numbers of guests, premium sailing and snorkelling experiences to Mackay Cay on the Outer Reef and idyllic Low Isles, a coral cay island.
Sailaway specialises in snorkelling, with qualified marine biologists sharing their passion for the marine life with expert guiding and interpretation.
Sailing is a relaxing and invigorating way to travel to our spectacular locations. Using mostly wind power, this is the most sustainable way to experience the Great Barrier Reef.
