Included in the Waltzing Matilda tour will be all meals, snorkelling and tuition in the Great Barrier Reef. Also included is one night accomodation on board a beautiful sailing boat. You won’t need to pay for anything extra, even snacks, tea and coffee included every day!
The meeting point for Waltzing Matilda is down at the Coral Sea Marina, 1-3 Shingley Drive, 4802. It is always best to email or call Waltzing Matilda 2 days before your departure date, so you know exactly where to meet at the correct time!
No, alcohol is not included on the Waltzing Matilda and you cannot purchase it on board. However it is bring your own alcohol, so you can bring your favourite beers!
Every boat has different rules on alcohol! It is always best to check two or three days before what booze you’re allowed to bring! Nearly all boats don’t allow you to bring glass bottles, hence why spirits or wine usually can’t be brought with you!
You should bring a small overnight bag with you, don’t bring a huge suitcase with you as there is limited storage on board most mosts. You should bring toiletries, 2 days worth of clothes, swim clothing, sunscreen, and any permitted alcohol!
You don’t need to bring closed shoes on the Whitsundays. You will have a chance to go for some rainforest walks, so it is recommended to bring! However it is perfectly safe to just wear sandals.
Three day tours vs two on the Whitsundays. Well, both are fantastic, Travel Hub would say the longer the better! However everyone has their own preference. 2 Days 1 Night Whitsunday trips are great for those whom want a smaller duration, are not confident on boats, on a budget or simply short on time!
There are only 14 guests max on Waltzing Matilda Two Day One Night trip! This is one of the smallest capacities for a overnight boat!!

Shout out to Max for his guidance! He listened to my requirements and helped me figure out what I really wanted, and he explained the options in depth. With his help, I was able to have a fun day combining a flight over the reef with an excursion to Fitzroy island. All bookings went smooth. Great service!Posted on Google![]()

So happy with the service and help I received from these guys, huge shout out to Tony ( absolute legend ) for helping me with all my questions and two bookings- fishing charter and 2 intro dives + snorkel with Divers den. I did a whale watching tour in Sydney, and then came here and while heading to the reef for the dive, we got to see a humpback whale breach the water at least a dozen times ! The first breach from this whale in cairns, would have beaten the whole tour in Sydney and it was an entire seperate experience as well (dive). Absolutely 1000% recommend these guys and any of their recommendations and advice when planning your trip and activities in cairns.Posted on Google![]()
