What you can expect

Set sail aboard a luxurious sailing catamaran bound for Carnac Island, an A-grade nature reserve located a short hop from Fremantle through the sheltered waters of Cockburn Sound. Get cosy aboard the vessel and enjoy a moment of peace and tranquillity as the wind blows in your hair travelling to the island. This half day adventure is limited to just 24 guests plus crew.

This A Class Nature Reserve is a known haul-out location for Australia Sea Lions, known as the playful puppies of the sea, plus a myriad of seabirds and fish. The eastern side of the island features a long, shallow bay perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The west side is also a delight with limestone cliffs and underwater reefs.

The use of stand up paddle boards and kayaks are available for those who wish to stay dry. For thrill seekers, a huge cargo net can be thrown out the back of the vessel for your very own little spa bath. Morning or afternoon tea and water are included, simply pack your swimmers, towel and sunscreen for this wonderful sailing adventure to Carnac Island.
