Overview

Set sail aboard Matador, a legendary racing yacht, and explore the breathtaking Whitsundays. Glide through turquoise waters, past lush islands and stunning white sandy beaches. Feel the ocean breeze as you relax on the spacious deck or help the crew hoist the sails for a hands-on adventure.

Snorkel world-class sites on the Great Barrier Reef’s fringing reefs, swimming among vibrant coral gardens, tropical fish, and sea turtles. Visit Hill Inlet Lookout for a picture-perfect view of Whitehaven Beach’s iconic swirling sands.

Savor freshly prepared meals featuring local produce, crisp salads, fresh fruit, and a hearty pasta dinner. As the sun sets, sip a cool drink while the sky glows in hues of orange and pink, then stargaze under the pristine Whitsundays night sky.

Note: Return time may vary due to weather and tides.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Matador Whitsundays?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Top10Adventures® wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Top10Adventures® over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
