Airlie Beach Experience Gifts: Cruise the stunning waters around the Whitsunday Islands on a magical two-hour sunset journey aboard a historic tall ship.
Departing from Airlie Beach, you’ll be welcomed onboard the Derwent Hunter, a historic and elegant tall ship, with a complimentary champagne cocktail and a selection of snacks. Equipped with huge open decks guaranteeing amazing views, the Derwent Hunter also has a shade to provide protection from the sun, and a fully licensed bar. As you move gently out of the bay into the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, you’ll learn about the local maritime history of the area; from the Aboriginal people who made their home on the South Sea and Torres Islands to rip-roaring tales of pirates and pearl seekers. As the sun starts to slip into the horizon, you’ll cruise back to port, enjoying fabulous views of a stunning sunset over the ocean.
Unforgettable and unique, a sunset cruise from Airlie Beach is a very special activity to share with a loved one and makes a perfect experience gift for birthdays.

SLIP INTO SUNSET AND TURN ON THE TWILIGHT ON A TALL SHIP
We are excited to bring you a lazy traditional Tallship experience each afternoon, slipping into the sunset and twilight on the beautiful Tallship DERWENT HUNTER.
Taking it easy, we may only put up a stay sail whilst you learn about the Maritime heritage and history of Cape Yorks Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and South Sea Islander people and their tales of pearling, blackbirding, missionaries and pirates and the story of Australia's worst maritime disaster that destroyed a pearling fleet and killed more than 300 crew. On our way back into Port you will see the view of the legendary sunset, followed by twilight colours of Airlie Beach.
Tours will depart each afternoon at approximately 1630 hours (4.30pm), and undertake a short traditional sail out to the bays of Airlie Beach before shortening sails and opening the bar. Arriving back just before last light (end of the twilight), you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the evening ashore. (Currently around 7pm)
