SET SAIL ON A SPRING EXPEDITION SAILING
The spring season is one of our favourite times of the year with warming weather and nature in bloom. We have a diverse range of voyages through the September – November months that showcase some of the best nature has to offer.
From Ningaloo Reef and the Rowley Shoals in Western Australia to the annual humpback migration on the Kimberley coast, it is a special time for your clients to travel and witness nature at its best. On the Great Barrier Reef, the light winds and clear waters make for ideal snorkel and dive conditions to witness the annual coral spawning.
