one of our fully crewed voyages of discovery on the
Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday Islands. The scenery is
spectacular beyond words, the marine life is teeming with
vivid colours and magnificent corals are waiting to be
explored. Whatever
your preference, be it the slap of sail and creak of
timber, the adrenalin surge on an ocean racer or the
pleasures of luxury cruising, Barefoot Cruises
have a vessel and tour to suit.
